Ya, mine did the same as well. The guy at the shop even warned me about it when i was buying them, so i don't think there is any prevention or fix. Sorry dude.

I have noticed that leaving your stuff in the sun will "yellow" most anything that in is dirty water. The people at my shop warned against getting anything white areound here.

When I got them they were a little bit yellow on the stretch zone, but there was also a cut there so I took them back and exchanged them for the transits!

that will happen to anything white left in the sun

My Sphynx are still white, however the glue used to hold some of the pieces together turned yellow. Last I heard, LF has changed the glue that they use for this process to eliminate the color change.

Don't know, my stitchings broke after only a month of riding. So when I get my replacements, I'll keep an eye out. Smile
