What exactly does this mean?

...On first use, and before they got near any water, my son was tightening the waist band when it came away from the stitching at the back, rendering them unusable.
I contacted Proswimwear and sent photos as instructed ...

Can you perhaps show us the photos you sent to them?

Assuming your son did not damage* them through mis-use, there's no reason the CRA 2015 shouldn't apply if they are faulty or not fit for purpose etc.

*  I'd expect this sort of kit to be quite robust and - as I presume it's relatively tight fitting - to be able to withstand some force when being put on.  I know they are essentially only high tech swiming trunks, but did they come with instructions about wearing them or putting them on?

I don't know as I am not a swimmer, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if high tech swimming costumes are actually fragile, and care needs to be exercised in putting them on.  
They may for all I know be quite robust, but it wouldn't surprise me if they are not, because if you have to sacrifice robustness for performance, that's what you are going to do.

Fair point

STRTR, IMHO, IANAL etc.  

What?!

I know what the middle one is but best to just stop being lazy and write out the words you mean to say.

As @Manxman_in_exile rightly observed .... Short Term Right To Reject. (Obvious, given that this exact term had been used in a prior post and I couldn't be bothered at the time to type it out in full).

IANAL is (almost) as old as the Internet ... if you hadn't heard it before then you must have been living in a cave.

If I want to be "lazy" I'll do so - you don't have to read my posts.

I must be a cave dweller then.

Why bother replying with such a lazy answer.

As opposed to this incredibly high effort post?
