fifth year coming up in my NRS. I found out last year the front zip goes low enough so I don't need the relief zip. Don't think the relief zip is essential. Take a break, take a leak, stretch, air out etc...Booties are essential, but I think most if not all suits have them standard now.

I feel the same. They are very nice, but if you find a good suit with no relief zip it shouldn't be a deal-breaker.

if you find a suit with ankle gaskets you can always glue in latex socks just like you would new gaskets.

Oh and how come only the women cuts have poop U-zippers? I want one too!

(you know, when something really big is on the way sometimes a little nervous pee just isn't enough...

may's well just wear the thing upside down

it'd look like a scene from some sci-fi movie, or maybe South Park

I think those would go over well with the kayakers

A guy we paddled with once said (in response to someone saying they tried a kayak but wasn't a kayaker) "That's like saying 'I'm not happy, I just had a homosexual experience'."
