Diagonal Entry Zippers Length

[nkped]

Are diagonal entry zippers all the same length? I have a Diving Concepts Z Flex that I have a great deal of trouble donning on my own and it's not a lot of fun with help. Having a big gut doesn't help, but it's primarily a matter of broad shoulders and a lack of flexibility. Do any of the other manufacturers have diagonal entry zippers which are a few inches longer? Or is the answer a shoulder to shoulder front entry?

DUI's "Telescoping Torso" design may help you. Try one on sometime. Or consider a special order to get the shoulder room you need.

FYI, my DUI is size Large and has a diagonal front zipper length of 32" (stop to stop).

Is your suit a good fit once it's on? Is your range of movement good in the suit?

It's a decent fit and I can reach my left shoulder dump valve. It's a 3XXL, which would fit someone a lot taller than my 6'2" so the suspenders are pulled all the way up.
