Thank you, I bought a front zip and pit it on, nice and easy almost too easy. Then it came time to pull it off...uh oh...I'm stuck. 30 mins of struggle later I find your video and presto, I'm free! Thanks a million!

Thanks for this. I struggle to get my left arm out of my chest zip suit. Can’t wait to try hooking the sleeve on my elbow.

Or do what I did the first time I ever tried to put on a 5/4 suit at the surf shop: exit the dressing room in a panic, and ask the first person you see to help you pull the torso part over your head with so much force and friction that your ears ring afterwards.

I'll try this on my xcel inifiniti winter. Been using a crow bar of late

Thank you. I came here for a trick to get out of the dang thing without help. The elbow hooking thing is key.

I hate being a bug guy trying to fit a front zip but I'll use some of these tips to help.

Wish O'Neil kept at least one woman's backzip 3/2 in technobutter. With limited shoulder rotation their chest zip is tough to deal with. I also don't like the choking tightness around the neck that it causes. Guess I'll keep my Psycho One for a few more years. They still offer it in men's and its too big.

Geoff, is the axis or the ocean and earth suit a suit without smooth skin on chest?
Looking for a suit without that for bodyboarding
