I have been looking at the forum and come across old topics regarding skin issues with Pleo's. From what I have found out, the skin tends to wear and split in really no time at all. This is very disappointing to me as before I purchased my Pleo information seemed to be confirming that they are pretty robust. Although, that was from the Company sales videos. My mistake I guess. I have looked at the forums and some people had suggested using something called Gibbs to apply to the skin to help it last better. I am not familiar with this product. I live in the UK. Could anyone let me know what this Gibbs product is and where I might be able to buy it. Also any tips on keeping the skin intact would be great. Right now I am very disappointed (upset) by the news of common skin problems. Although, I know technology is not built to last these days I would have expected my Pleo to be more durable than 1 year. It is an expensive product! Not sure if I would buy another if the skin is not going to last.
