We'd have to be catheterized to make this work! And with a woman's Kokatat suit, you are dealing with this huge, difficult zipper that goes from one hip, around your rear end, and over to the other hip. I'm lucky if I can open on shore, let alone in a boat! Why they don't just put a relief zipper on the crotch like some of the wet-suits do, I have no idea! Even if they would put them higher up on the groin and parallel, like they do for the guys, we would at least have a chance using something like the stupid sani-fem.

Sani-fems and men's style relief zips. They love standing there peeing with the boys! Can't imagine the round the butt zip being a viable option. steve *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).

It's a very viable option. It's true that it's a very tight zipper, but since it's necessary to wear clothes under the drysuit anyway, there's no problem with asking anyone - male or female - to help with the zipper. I've managed to open and/or close it myself on occasion, but I usually don't bother to knock myself out - I just ask for help. Then I go off to find my spot in the woods, with my rear flap flapping. It's cute. The best under-drysuit option, I've found, is a Doctor Denton-type one piece polartec outfit, also with drop seat. Trying to deal with pull-on pants under a drop seat drysuit is difficult, at best. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Scherrer" <Flatpick_at_teleport.com> To: "Jolie Smilowicz" <jolie_at_rockisland.com>; "Paddlewise submissions" <paddlewise_at_paddlewise.net> Sent: Wednesday, February 13, 2002 2:25 AM Subject: Re: [Paddlewise] Fw: Nature calls in a dry suit?
