Do you make a full body front zip wetsuit suitable for cold water snorkelling? 50-75 F for lake swimming in the fall and spring in N.W. Ontario. I’m a mid 60 year old who can’t run anymore and have discovered the joys of snorkelling for exercise.
I keep breaking the zipper strap on back zip models. Need something I can get into and out of on my own.
I think I need a 5mm thickness based on what I’ve read.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Hello Greg!
It’s cool that you have found the joy of snorkelling. In this site I just gather information about triathlon wetsuits. I don’t manufacture any of them.
I haven’t seen any trithlon wetsuit model with a zipper in the front of a wetsuit. It would be hampering for the breathing movements during the swim. Nevertheless, you can check out my post about cold water wetsuits. I would look for a zipper which is closed from bottom to top. As an example Huub Aegis 3 Thermal.
One more thing. If you intend to use a wetsuit only for snorkelling not active swimming (meant as front crawl etc.) you can also use a wetsuit which is made for surfers or kiters. They are warm, but not so flexible and smooth.
