The zip is same place as the entry to a factory overall, i.e. mid front from
the neck down to the groin. There is a small rubber apron inside the zip at
the bottom to add to the sealingness at the bottom of the zip where it tends
to be strained on entry and exit (and on opening the suit to urinate on land).

No.
