I know nothing about the suit in question, but I tend to agree with 
you that I would *not* want a horizontal rear zipper. I can only 
imagine how uncomfortable that would be sitting in a kayak cockpit (or 
almost anywhere, in fact).

I am partial to front zips, especially as I get older and have 
increasing aches and pains in my shoulders so that reaching around the 
back to undo things gets more and more problematic.
