But basically because I Just HATE those frontzippers on the new wetsuits..... It is such a Pain in the A... getting in might be OK, but getting Out Impossible ...
Would Love to get a new normal super warm wetsuit...
Yes Drysuit gets wet after 3 hours from sweating....
But super warm!
I can Go for pee, without taking of the whole suit.
Did you get and have a frontzip wetsuit?
Some say you can learn, over time, to get out.
I have tried a few in shops, and I hate these, not for me, I am not flexible so impossible and I simply wont deal with this troublesome Houdini mess, not even if one can learn so it could get easier.
Bought a new winter wetsuit 5/4 yesterday, with backzip, love these, super warm and comfortable and smooth neoprene.
As my 2½ year old suit was on its third winter season.
A wetsuit is warm for two seasons, then they get colder quite fast.
At least if used often.
This goes for all models and brands, and many less experienced dont know this as the suit seems just fine later and the change comes gradually so many dont notice.
It doesnt matter as the suit will still be without holes or damage and can be used for a bit less cold conditions, so important in/out is easy and fast.
But the result is you need a new suit for cold conditions now and then
In contrast good summersuits might last for 10 years no problem and you wont notice a difference.
