Wetsuit zipper-major failure

[ivanputski]

I wear 3mm booties from cabelas... 14.99 and they have fold down gravel guards too... BUT after walking over 2 miles over a rocky island last night, I have to say the back of my knees were BURNING... suit rash really bad. Anyone else have this happen? remedies? my suit fits very well, but you do get some bunching behind the knees when you walk.

underarmour, also keeping the suit wet can help

where was the rash? you can always pull to top of the suit down when walking if it was upper body. lower body you can go with either compression shorts or compression pants. they make rash guards for surfers, but they're really the same as underarmour.

i second the underarmour. I wear an underarmour shortsleeve to stop chaffin in the under arms. 2mm boots.

Never had the bunching at knees issue.
