Rear Zipper Suits Much Nicer
Posted by: seadart on Oct-28-12 1:49 PM (EST)

Having the zipper right over your crotch in cold weather and cold water leads to unpleasantness if you are in the water or cold windy conditions.

The back zip is no big deal, if you buy the right suit. Some zippers are quite hard to get up and down especially if you are a very tight fit.
