The wearing out of the sholders is usaully due to two factors. UV from the sun catches the tops of your sholders the most and results in the material breaking down faster. Throw a rashie overtop to help prevent this Secondly, sholders on wetties fall apart because they are being hung up to dry on a ...

Just to be clear, you're asking our opinion of what percentage of kiters started less than four years ago?
