Does anybody own a 'KOKATAT'- Gore-Tex Front Entry Drysuit?
This is KOKATAT's most popular Drysuit with the waterproof
Optiseal Zipper 4.4Oz polyester 3-layer Gore-Tex laminate.

My questions concern: (1) how convenient are the front (optional)
crotch zipper works (for bladder relief-men & women)?

(2) how reliable and comfortable is this suit and is
overheating a problem on the Pacific Coast line?

(3) Is the full Dry Suit better or equal to the 'Farmer John"
combination with a Gore-Tex TecTour Anorak 2.1oz ripstop
nylon 3-layer Gore-Tex laminate?

(4)Now the full wet suit is waterproof to thirty feet
(not that I intend to go diving) is there much or anyleakage
with the farmer John combination?

Does anyone own a high end  Stolquist Gore-Tex Drysuit 
and can you offer any opinion and do they offer a front
crotch zipper for bladder relief?

Thanks,

Philip
