Am I the only asshole that has to ask the guy next to me in the parking lot for help getting my suit off?
I'm going back to back zip.

Its a struggle. And now that I lost so much weight I am getting flushed. My suits last 6 months now from all the pulling and tugging.

Getting it off is easy- when you pull the neck over your head keep pulling it until it is over your shoulder. Then pull that arm out.

Getting it on- that first arm, I have to do a deep squat to get the shoulder under. Don’t know why but if I don’t dip my body way down I can’t get that arm on. Then the second arm just slips on, no contortions necessary.

I think once you finger it out, zipperless entry and exits are easy. You should see some of the crazy arm moves I'm doing now with all that extra flexy time. Now the flushing is what I don't like.

Have you tried peeing on it first? Save some tho so you can do a hand stand and pee all over yourself too. That’s how you properly lubricate.

Chest zip for me. newer versions can tweak the opening or the way the zipper is angled, but when I got my first chest zip in 2008 I never looked back

i think zipperless must be cheaper to make for the manufacturers.
otherwise there is no benefit for the average punter using the suit.
