I have had about 5+ wetsuits and have decided that I prefer skin both sides.
Hence I still have to make extensive repairs to my wetsuits (which I rarely use 
for SCUBA).

I'm curious, how is the suit zippered and how the zipper is sealed?  I have 
considered one piece suits but am always concerned with too much water flow
through the zipper.  Is the hood attached to your one piece?
