I use a 2x3 short leg, long arm front zip.
Great suit so far, at the risk of jinxing myself I don't get rashes in it like previous suits.

3/2 full length has got me thru 2 Melbourne winters and most of summer as I wear it for protection as well - front zip ... I also wear an impact vest for warmth for winter otherwise I'd be too cold..... It has stood up extremely well, I've basically done all my windsurf and sup learning in it so alllllot of wear in the knees.

In market for a new one as she it in complete tatters but what it been thru it's been amazing!

Got it for 160 off tactics.com back when Aus dollar was above parity - bargin!!!

Thinking more about supporting local next purchase but..

4/3 dryloc are very popular down here in Tassie.
I have had quite a bit to do with them locally and everyone who owns one is more than happy.
Have a 3/2 for spring and a 2mm short arm for summer.

How do you find the front zip? had a shorty with front zip, straight up the centre, absolute pain to get off.
