question When do you give up on a dry suit and get a new one? New

From: kbelenky

I've got a 7-8 year old Kokatat that's seen at least 400 days of use, probably more.

Lately it's gotten to the point where for every patch I put on it, 2 more holes spring up. So far I've been doing all my own patching. I'm kindof afraid to send it in to Kokatat. They'd probably laugh their asses off and tell me it's time for a new one.

When do you make the call and just get a new one?
