She does it better, I suppose but the male suit design makes the male model look like he's got a pair too. Lol

He got a fake pair from bundling up the neoprene chest entry liner tube to seal the tube since a regular zipper is used.

Did you watch the video?

Yes, I did and I don't understand the extra material but most especially the point of tying it the way the explainer did. Perhaps if I spoke Russian

I believe that the part that got tied up is an entry sleeve. I believe that the entry sleeve seals up kind of the same way that a dry bag seals. Then it is tucked inside the regular non-waterproof zipper, just to keep the seal out of harm's way.

Pee valve or diaper.

This video is interesting and briefly touches on the original zero drysuit with the tunnel entry, their next model with the rear shoulder zipper, and this current model with a front chest zipper like the whites drysuit.

I can't figure out the pee zipper. Lol

The hood choices, wow. No. 2 looks like a pumpkin and No. 3, I have no idea what to make of that.

I'll hold my comments on the model divers (as in they are models not as in they are divers)

I don’t think p zipper is for underwater use. I liked the video game sound effects and the synthesized guitar rock for a 2014 video.

Zero has no Zipper. It use tube, sealed by rubber strap.
It more simple, cheap and durable, than zipper.

@chillyinCanada - speaker just talking the same, as you can see on video. How to seal the tube. He just repeat in words same as he doing in hands.
btw - when I uploaded it, I had no sound at this time because video was enough.

- here you can see same for Russian commercial or military dry suits UGK-1.
Only difference - it has solid (not foamed) matherial for tube (they call it appendix), and require over 7 turns of rubber strap for sealing.

BTW: most popular and most used space scaphandre (space suit) Sokol use same sealing method tube and rubber starp
