Mares Isotherm (2006) Entry/Exit Methods?

[scuba_g8tor]

I just purchased the Mares Isotherm 6.5 semi-dry (2006 model). Other than the arms being difficult to "slip" into (nothing suit juice doesn't take care of), it pulls on pretty easily, and fits well. Still have to have someone zip me in and out, but that's cool - keeps me from diving solo when I shouldn't.

My only gripe is getting out of it -- even after being unzipped. Has anyone mastered/stumbled acoss an exit technique capable of being reduced to a descriptive procedure?

Thanks!

The only problem I have getting out of mine is at the ankles. They act as if you haven't unzipped them. It's a bizarre dance if I don't have any thing to sit on when pulling them off.

Not many issues for me there, but I haven't yet mastered getting a shoulder wiggled out of the back so I can start pulling that first sleeve off my arm on my own. I almost wish they made the zipper go a little further down one arm than the other, but who am I to tell the designers how to do it!
