I'm having the same problems with the away top. I thought the one I tried on in the shop was tight. I got mine home, tried to get it over my head, managed just, tried to get it off, no such luck. Pulled and pulled, the result... a loud ripping sound and all the stitching across the front bursting. I'll be going back to the shop either today or tomorrow in the hope that I get a refund/new nicely fitting top!
