putting ON a dry-suit is a really good time.

wow.  i actually watched a video!!

Burping it at the end was awesome.  the rest, was somewhat awkward.  i need shorter arms!  i believe i will need to pack a folding chair when i winter fish. 

at one point, i had a leg in an arm sleeve.  hahhaha..

getting out of it was tougher than putting it on.  i assume it gets easier when the latex collar loosens up a bit?

Dilute Hair conditioner and lubricate to assist in putting on the suit. Easily rinses off.

A couple pointers;
1. Legs and feet first
2. Arms next
3. Finally head
4. Make sure the big zipper is all the way open!
5. Make sure the waist cinch drawstring is also all the way extended
6. Take off your wrist watch and put back on AFTER you put your hands through the wrist gaskets.
7. Sudden urge to push; Work really quick first zipper, then head, then hands, then push down to below waist. 
8. Sudden urge to pee; don't forget there's a waist level zipper.
9. Launch and pee pee gets really wet and cold; don't forget there's a waist level zipper. 
10.  Check that zipper for all the way closed.  Even a tiny bit open will result in 'shrinkage'....

Solid advice about taking off my wrist watch.

Some will say this is TMI, but hey... we're all human.

Also keep in mind that any smells you create inside your dry suit will remain when you take it off, if ya know what I mean.  When I wore a dry suit for 8-10 hrs per day, it was inevitable that a fart or two were stored inside.  It became common practice to pull open a wrist seal and do a quick squat to vent before taking the suit off for the day.  It sure beat opening the chest zipper and having it waft right up into your face.

Okay.  That’s even better than the wristwatch tip.  Maybe I should rethink my all-grain-bran bagel with refried bean spread - for breakfast?

waist zipper works well when you gotta toot. 

I don't burp my dry suit, I figure it provides more buoyancy if I happen to go overboard.  The higher I can keep my head out of the water, the easier to climb back aboard.

Military humor can be rather crass, but a common practice was to not change your diet, but instead store a few farts in the drysuit and then aim the cuff at someone who was stuck at the helm or somewhere else they couldn't easily vacate.  A quick purge and evacuation left them sitting alone.  I know, I know... terrible "friends."

I have a Kokatat semi-drysuit/paddling suit that zips apart around the waist. It’s super-easy to put on and take off, and the zipper acts as a decent relief valve too. I’m surprised more of them are not made that way...
