have to agree there- mine's she-ite!  The front zip 'rucks up' under my rashvest and makes it look like I'm carrying the spawn of Sigourney Weaver's alien! 

Gul cheapy drysuit- really, really pants!

That said th eother options a 3mm short arm wetsuit, see my forum id name and you'll understand why I don't go for the more ergonomic option this time of year!

Ive always had a drysuit in the past but going through this winter in a 3mm with a couple of craft thermals and a spray top. Its fine if you sail a reasonably energetic boat and even when you fall in its ok once you get past the 'OOOHGHH JESUS CHRIST THATS COLD' moment
