Small dog leash is even easier to connect to zipper pull.

Great idea! I think I still have a leash around from when my dog was a puppy. I should be good to go after a little trimming. (of the leash!)

Like many others, getting in my Bare Trilam HD is no problem. It's getting that last inch of zipper unzipped when doffing is the problem.

You'd think they would make it easier to get out of than into. It's seldom an emergency to get INTO the water, but doing "the dance" after a 90 minute dive with no P valve, while trying to get that suit open is no fun!
 
Bare Trilam HD... no probelms getting into and zipped. Out is still a bit of a challenge but I manage. I think with time I will get better. The zipper is no problem.
 
My DUI CLX 450 is no problem donning or doffing.
 
I have 2 front-entry suits (1 spare :D) and they´re both easy to get in or out of.
As long as I take care of the zip (wax) it´s not a problem. I tend not to open them further than to the top of my shoulder to make zipping easier when I get back in.

My suits are Ursuit Heavy Light and Ursuit Heavy Light Cordura...the best two suits I´ve owned/tried...
