Ankle zips on custom 3mm wetsuit?

[nudi_hunter]

Hi all,

I'm about to order a custom 3mm suit from Oceaner and wondering if ankle zips are worth the added cost (~$100 CAD). I'm a very non-standard tall guy with size 14 feet, and hoping I won't regret not adding zippers donning and doffing the suit 3-4x a day on an upcoming liveaboard trip.

Thanks, and happy diving!

I’d spring for the zippers!

Loved my zippers, absolutely miss them in my 7mm suit. My current 2mm tropical suit is only tolerable without them as the legs are way too big. My feet are only a men’s size 7, I shudder at trying to manipulate a size 14.

All three of my WaterProof wetsuits have ankle zips, makes life a lot easier.
