With a back zip you can also be at the mercy of your buddy when you need out of it quickly for bathroom reasons. Unless of course, you have your leash handy and then can do it yourself.

I still prefer front zip and see no reason to change back to back zip. My spare suit is back zip and I hate it.
 
I found the proper technique and have no issues now.

Any chance of a video of this? I have heard the dog leash method explained but have not been brave enough to try it.
 
I'll try to put one up soon. I'm usually alone when I do this though!
