Waxing the zipper. I find this is just too complicated of a process to endure.

LOL! (I got it.)
 
If you have had more than one drysuit, it might be nice to hear the difference.

I have two DUI suits: A TLS350 trilaminate suit and 30/30 tropical drysuit.

Love them both. The only difference between the two is that when you wear the TLS350 in 45deg water in NJ no one laughs at you. But when you don the 30/30 on a dive boat in Hawaii or a live-aboard in the Caymans, everyone seems to have a comment...

I like the fit of my DUI TLSse but I still have problems dumping gas--it seems that the dump valve is moved forward on the arm in the rear entry suits. I haven't decided yet if I can fix it with technique or whether I'll have to change something. (I expect to like the fit even more when I swap out the supplied TurboSoles for a size smaller, so they don't flop around like kids' pajamas.)
 
The price when it breaks - you can bet my zipper will be waxed much more often in the future - $350 to replace it. And I agree with Almightywife. I can't pee in it (yep won't pee in it either). On my last boat dive the guys kidded me to invent a femaly external catheter. :)
 
They're to doggone expensive!
