Do you need help putting on your suit?

I just got a 7 mil Akona one piece wet suit and had a struggle to put it on. My wife had to zip me up, as I couldn't. After it was on, it felt quite comfortable.
Is this normal?

I have a 7ml Bare Artic and I have to have help zipping it up and also have to have help getting it off my shoulders and off at least one arm after diving.

Very normal. & good reminder to dive with a buddy!

Walking around your house in your wetsuit isn't normal (according to my wife), but having some help with a thick suit is a non issue.

It's not normal? Uh oh....

Is there a support group for that?

My house? That was my neighbor's house I was in the process of burglarizing. h34r:
Notice the startled look on my face when they flipped on the light and took this shot. :11:

Abnormal IS the norm around our house.

Should have seen the look on my wife's face when she came down the stairs and I was sitting on the couch with my new mask on.

Had to be sure it made a nice seal. Doesn't everyone watch the news with their masks on?

I can get myOceanic supaflex suit (7/5) on myself, and I can get my Seatech Predator on myself too - but I can't quite zip the seatec up all the way (it has a zip across the chest) I need a buddy to zip the final few inches...

Z...

Wow! That’s one hunk of rubber.
I can only guess that other’s will enjoy watching the struggle so have not offered suggestions.
Luckily I do not have the problem but I have seen diluted baby shampoo and powder utilized.
