I have a Kototat Gore-tex drysuit which has been dry and comfortable for a
season plus. I opted for the drop seat zipper because my experience with
funnels was bad news. Too much junk to carry  and fool with , plus not
really very easy to avoid mishaps. The drop seat zippers allow all
nesessary functions and the zipper can be adjusted to a comfortable spot in
the small of the back area after sitting down in the kayak before attaching
the spray skirt. I've never had either zipper leak.

I have heard that Kototat doesn't want to install the drop seat zipper any
more.Has anyone else heard that rumor?
