Sh*tting and paddling suits...

How easy are the front entry paddling suits to get off if you got to drop a duece. I got stomach issues where if I have to go, I HAVE to go. I don't want to destroy a $1k kokatat. Gross

Depends.  Speaking from experience, it's time consuming so at the first rumbling, start doffing.

It could be a very serious hazard OTW.
Sit in a chair and take one off. As you do, imagine at any point during the process what would happen if you were to fall in the water.
FWIW you'd be a tangle sinking mess.

My greatest fear.

I thought I saw women's dry suits some website/brand that have zips where the human holes are.

2 rules... 1. never leave shore till after 3 shits, 2. one cup of coffee only.

I tried one of those on for that very reason.
Getting unzipped was easy peasy.
Getting zipped back up, that's a whole different 'BALL' game (if ya get my drift).
There's a reason men's suits aren't designed that way.

So glad you brought it up, after 30 yrs of diving with no accidents, but definetly a few close calls, I find it more of an issue than ever before,

Among other things these are important practices:

One of the best on the road shitters on the Sonoma coast is gone now too, (Duncan's Landing).

Get the 2 piece suit, Kokatak Tempest.

I've got the Kokatat Surge and it unzips all the way around the waist. Haven't had to take a dump OTW since I got it, but it would not be 2 difficult (bad pun intended) even in a fairly unstable kayak. I think there are are other Kokatat models that have that same style of zipper, although I don't believe any of them are fishing specific. FWIW, I suspect Kokatat will eventuallly use that kind of zipper in most (if not all) of their dry/paddling suits.

Get some Depends.

I would have worded   it all  depends

After removing a drysuit...Are we talking about assuming the position and shitting over the side of a kayak?[emoji15]

I knew this thread would get responses.

I thought of this while seeing that the women's kokatat has a "drop seat" or something similarly named. Sounded wonderful.

Well it's either that or into the mirage drive hole.

Who the hell takes 3 shits before first light?
