I have never paddled with my drysuit unzipped or pulled down.  If you're
going to use a piece of gear then use it properly.  It's probably better   to
not use it at all than to use it in a way that it was never intended to   be
used.  Goes pretty much for anything, not just drysuits.

I agree 100% with Dave. When I get hot in my drysuit -- and it does
happen -- I roll or dip first one side into the water, then the other
(I don't get water spots on my sunglasses that way). I never unzip the
dry suit except on land. If the water isn't cold enough to cool me off
that way, then I don't need that much protection, and I'm usually
wearing something more appropriate.
