a little late to the partay here but never had any problems with SS.
Bruce n Spence n crew have always been great.

I've had problems with NPX suits tho - i do really like them - they're comfortable, warm, and flexible BUT i have had the 2 i have owned fail.

One blew a zipper and the other tore a neck seal (both assassins).

Didn't really care either time as i got a good deal on them (ie they're inexpensive) and the failures occurred after a year or so of use. I ride alot and that is as long as i expect out of them.

Not to turn this into a brand war but i've since moved to RipCurl suits and haven't had a single issue.

little more pricey but well worth it
