The question is, "Roughly how much does it cost?"

1. Estimated prices by area

Content	Estimated price (tax included)	comment
Repairing small tears and frays (1 to several places)	¥1,100〜	It's cost-effective to fix small cracks around the neck or crotch while they're still minor.
Repairing cracks in neck, wrist, and ankle ribs	¥3,300〜	This is a part that is subject to stress when putting on and taking off the jacket. Early repair will prevent water from entering.
Knee pad replacement and extensive replacement	¥5,500〜	This is the part that often gets rubbed off by the leash or board.
Replacing fabric around the buttocks	¥5,500〜	This is a common request from people who experience a lot of friction when taking off.
Zipper replacement (back zipper/front zipper)	¥7,700〜	The cost will vary depending on whether the slider is only faulty or if a complete replacement is required.
Size adjustment (width, length, etc.)	Individual quote	Adjustments to accommodate changes in body shape will be made in different ways for each panel, so we will make suggestions based on photos and measurements.

*The above is just an example. The actual price will vary depending on the type of fabric, thickness, and extent of damage.

2. Common "repair combination" patterns

Pattern 1: Repairing a cracked neck and the crotch and buttocks

The most common problem is a crack around the neck combined with fraying or tears around the crotch and buttocks .
Since the stress is concentrated when paddling and changing clothes, it is common for this area to become damaged at the same time.

Pattern 2: Knee pad replacement + small hole repair at the same time

It is common to replace the knee pads and also repair any small pinholes in the surrounding area .
We often receive requests such as, "Since I'm going to give it away anyway, I'd like to fix the small holes that have been bothering me at the same time."

Pattern 3: Zipper replacement + other minor repairs

While focusing on fastener replacement,
It is common for other small tears to be repaired at the same time, thinking, "Since we're going to the trouble of sending it to the factory, why not?"

3. Things that would be helpful if you could tell me when getting a quote

• When did you purchase the wetsuit? (A rough number of years is fine.)
• What season do you use it in most (winter, spring, etc.)?
• Areas of particular concern (in order of priority)

If you could tell me these,
This makes it easier to suggest several options, such as "fix everything" or "narrow it down to the bare minimum."

4. Don't just decide based on price, consider how much you want to spend.

The same damage,

• Do you have a favorite item and want to use it for as long as possible?
• Will it be okay if we can get through this season?
• Do you want to fix only the bare minimum, assuming you'll need to buy a new one?

The best repair will vary depending on the situation.
As a factory, we would like to be able to make proposals that include not only the amount but also how we would like to use the money .
