Yes. I work a bit with survival suits on my job. Very similar,just bulkier. Is your suit easy to zip? I know of one friend who suggest a wire and a truck mirror for getting into his rear zipper model when he is alone. (just hope his 'girlfriend' does'nt 'accidently' put it in drive,when things...happen).:fury: :auto:

No...not yet... but it will be.... Shane has no trouble with his...
I have only had mine on a couple of times trying it out for size and I noticed that the zipper was not easy to pull up over the shoulder... and I might just leave it closed a little unless that appears to stress it.

It took a while before my Andy's across~the~chest zipper was easy so and it still takes two hands and several hand re-positionings to get the job done so I am not at all worried about the DUI.

The main problem I see as that when you pull up on the zipper the suit shifts up so I will try holding it down with my left hand clasping the folded portion in back. You might try that. Shoot I might go out in the garage and try that myself :wink:

I just had the pockets glued on Friday so I haven't had it in the water yet... this week for sure... while the Andy's takes a trip back home to see Andy and get a tune up.
