kitenaked the trick to getting out of the Amp-K front zip is to wear a thin rashguard underneath. I have fairly broad shoulders and without the rashguard it was like getting out of a straight jacket. It is still a tight sqeeze but doable. Other than that it is an awesome wetsuit. Charlie

I wear a 5/4 wetsuit in the winter months and my nod to the cold weather has simply been wearing my ProTec wake helmet. However, I recently added booties to the list and used them for the first time last week on that really cold and windy day. What a great improvement! Numb feet make for more jibing mistakes, that's a fact! I bought these and think the camel-toe design is especially warm and natural feeling... :-"

(O'Neill Ninja surf booties if you don't click to the details... awesome with lotsa' foot-feedback.)
Go bigga'
