For years most of the cheaper drysuits, along with not a few expensive
ones, have rear-entry zippers that run across the back of the shoulder. I
was looking at wetsuits the other day, and got wondering whether,
considering how common zipper problems are, this isn't lunacy, especially
with a metal backplate, since the backplate and straps will be frequently
bearing directly on the zipper. On the other hand, if it was a known
problem, it would be easy enough to throw a little velcroed flap over the
zipper, and, since no one seems to do it, maybe it isn't a problem.

Any thoughts on this? are rear zippers more prone to trouble, or doesn't it
matter?
