Zipper vs Zipperless

Postby carbuf6727 » Wed Nov 07, 2007 8:44 pm

Hi I was wondering if someone could give the pro's and con's of both. I'm 5'3 and need a good suit that will fit me? I dont think I have seen a zipperless suit that will fit me.

Zipperless were the rage when suits were stiffer and the zipper was a pain in the ass. But I hear that it takes a contortionist to get in and out of a zipperless, and now that suits are pretty flexible, the zippered ones are fine.

Plus, the zippered keep the seams closed better - more water gets in via the zipperless flaps.
