Did some more search on NRS wetsuit and found this one with lower price.  Anyone experienced with this model?

I have this one works well. No holes yet but I changed to dry suit so haven’t been using it as much

I think new knee reinforcement has two stress concentration points.
NCR might be designed as a fancy knee reinforcement patch with consideration for stress concentration.

what a timely thread.  I am about to send a warranty email to NRS.  Spot-on regarding the stress point.  I use it half a season and its splitting.

Here it is.  I am debating whether to exchange/return to REI or having NRS to fix it.

My NRS has also torn in those areas on both knees. I assume it as wear and tear. I've used it probably close to 100 outings, so I don't see it as a warranty issue.
If I had only used it 20x, then I think I would go for warranty, but I don't think it started until around 70 outings.
