Chest Zip VS Back Zip Wetsuit, Which Is Best For You?

What are the benefits of a chest zip and back zip wetsuit, and what is best for you? These are our thoughts.

Excellent points. I liked the idea of an upgrade to a chest zip - I thought it would be easier as the zip is at the front. As an 85kg broad shouldered lean man, with tight shoulders, I could not get the suit on (in the shop). Tried next size up, an XL. "Help!!" Have now ordered the O'Neill - Epic 5/4 with Back Zip !! Looking forward to this upgrade.

I have a chest zip and it works well for me. Back zips are definitely easier for people with mobility or strength issues. What about no zip wetsuits. Are they not very popular?

They are popular! But they are the trickiest to get on and off, so tend to be popular with the younger and more flexible people who want ultimate flexibility!
