I'm looking for a new wetsuit.
Anyone can guide me I'm looking for a hooded front entry 5 mm suit with zip on ankle and wrist.
 
I gave up the 4 (wrist/ankle) zippers & don’t miss their added water infiltration. Those 4 lined up is like adding a 4 ft zipper to your suit ! I love my Super Stretch Henderson Pro Thermoprene so much I bought a 2nd and prefer it to my drysuit (long as air temp is 60+) in our Great Lakes here. Wrist/ankles are double layer 3 mil (= 6 mil + glove/boot thickness) around wrists & ankles and go on/off like butter. Good bye zippers & good luck to you.
 
Not all wetsuits with zippers are created equal.

I have a number of suits, some stretchy others not, some with zips others not. Personally I much prefer having leg zippers - I find they make the suit way easier to get in and out of, especially in between dives when the suit is wet.
