I recently figured out why I don't seem to be able to do easy wet exits. As soon as I invert, the air in my drysuit goes uphill and seems to expand the formerly most downhill area of the suit (and I don't mean the legs). Since I have a women's relief zipper, the expansion of this seat area causes the zipper to catch on both sides of the cockpit as I exit, so I have to literally pry myself from the cockpit. Now, I know the idea is to burp the suit before I start paddling, and I do that. But it isn't enough. So any of the other ladies out there have this problem? Any suggestions? (and yes, I am on a weight loss program). Thanks!
