Fresh_Aire_Up_There:
You mean a wet wetsuit always goes on easier for you, not for everybody. If I try to put my wetsuit on wet then the description of me putting it on is similar to ZenDiva's. Mine goes on great and fits just right when it is dry. It depends on the lining, if you have extremely dry skin, not dry skinned, the cut and make of the suit, etc.

Yeah, I've seen LDS's try to put Ladies in male suits before, and if a young Lady who has a sunburn is not in the mood...:redhot: ...Duck and Cover, we got incoming!! But it sounds like you got a very helpful crew to help you out, or in as the case may be:05: . I'm not really flirtatious but I have had to ask a few ladies to "help me with my zipper" before, much to their utter amusement....and my embarassment :sorry19z: . They seem to think the colors I turn are very pretty. So I suggest something you can don and doff by yourself, unless of course you like turning pretty colors

Walter my dear, you know the answer already
Ber :lilbunny:

Ah, for goodness sakes!
Take the wetsuit off.. yeah, you Walter, it ain't working... now put the legs on like panty hose. Start at the bottom and get it in place as you go... to the ankles, to the knees, to the hips... by now the crotch should be up where it belongs... really, no kidding.
Flip the rear over your rear and the put the arms on the same way... get the wrists in place, the elbows, etc.... zip up and ready to go!
Some people use plastic bags over their feet and hands to get that first bit of momentum going. Some use a water-and-shampoo solution to make their skin slick. I use cheap panty hose or a dive skin.
And while I just tried on a 5-mil Henderson Hyperstretch last month (a 12! Who knew?) do check the search engine about the Hyperstretch's record on snagging, fraying, durability. It's a chunk of change for another wetsuit. Personally the 3-mil Neosport (also Henderson) works just fine.
Is Walter still trying to get you to find his zipper?

I bought a Henderson Hyperstretch. I'm tall and so I issues with the standard sizing, too. It is a v. comfortable suit. I'll let you know how it dives after mid-December.
