Wetsuits with a lower leg zipper
- Thread starter Aquaman2
- Start date
I started doing yoga so I can get out of me Feral 4/3 chest zip.
That is not a joke. I had to have help getting out of it. Once I had to just drive home in it and have Mrs. Duffy help me out of it.
So I started doing yoga. Now I can get out of chest zips.
I have a zipperless suit that's seriously tough to get out of... I had to ask for help the first time before I got the hang of it... and it's a freaking springsuit!!! I can't imagine wearing a full zipperless suit.
I have an Xcel 2mm short arm full suit that is every bit of a nightmare as my 5/4 to get my shoulders out of.
Lads it's all about pre-loading. Tug the sh!t down on the torso so it's got tension and prevents the neck gasket from wanting to ride back up. Roll the closed side over, pull down on the torso part some more, then salmon swim up out that bitch.
Picking the knee seams off the heel when taking it off takes a min. Not a biggy.

Well, I'm just going to say that sometimes, when the surf is marginal, I'll sit there and go, "Well if you could magically beam me into my suit I'd go surfing. But THAT just isn't worth the trouble." Sucks to get old.
I have a zipperless and have no problems getting in or out. I did freak out at first about how much you have to stretch them. I thought I was going to rip the seams or tear the rubber.
We have lots of squirrels in our neighborhood, but I've never seen a dead squirrel on any street around here, ever. Maybe the squirrels are not as smart where you live?
Do the squirrels in your neighborhood need zippers in the legs of their wetsuits?
I have posted this before but since we’re talking about it,
I’ve seen the future
I already know how I will die
I’ll be found lying next to my car with my wetsuit down to my ankles
After a winter surf
Exhausted
Cold
Struggling to get my wetsuit off over my swollen feet
I will fall over, alone in a parking lot, found froze naked and dead the next day
If anyone says I died doing what I love, please correct them
I do not love getting my fat feet through the legs of my wetsuit
I definitely should try the socks

Good first draft for your goodbye thread.
Some thicker suits over 5mm will still have leg zips. On the odd thick suit that didn't, to put it on, I would just lay them down inside out and start at the feet and peel them up as opposed to trying to step in through whatever orifice they had- back zip, chest zip, etc...
You realize that squirrels are food for other animals? A dead squirrel will be snatched up by scavengers within seconds.
That’s why I just put my wetsuit on at home right after my morning sh!t.
Always be ready!
In my experience better quality suits (and more expensive) are easier to get off around the ankles and feet because the material is much less stiff.
We've always had a lot of rabbits on the island where I live and I'd never seen a dead rabbit before unless it was total road-pizza. Then two summers ago the rabbit population got a little out of control and some residents started complaining on social media and to the local newspaper. Next thing you know there were dead rabbits all over the place. The city denies poisoning them.
