I'm afraid I get "done in the back" so couldn't comment on moobs and a front loader.

I think the mai9n problem is about height... you need to be reasonably tall for a front loader to work. If you are short then the zip has to go a long way over the shoulder and round the back so it starts not being self donning anyhow.
When i got my made to measure at Otter they said front loader wasn't possible for me ...

Sorry but it sounds like some manufactures can't be bothered, years ago I had a MTM Northern Diver Vortex suit, no problems and never did they say it couldn't be done.

Just had a new DUI made, again no one said you are too short for a front entry suit, I can fully open the suit without assistance so can't go too far over the shoulder.

Come on suit manufactures, if you say you can do a MTM suit for ladies, then do it and stop making excuses. I suspect it is because some manufactures use templates and make alterations from those.

I recently (the summer) bought a new MTM Otter Britannic and I'm definately not a standard shape, fits perfectly well and although the zip does go onto the shoudler area, it isn't a problem self-donning or self-undonning

Not that I am any in way qualified to speak but I have no problems whatever with my front-zipper (see how refained I can be ) and I am 5'3 ........ and I would never in a gazillion years go back to a back-flap !!

I think Fiona is right, some manufacturers probably can't be bothered.

Thanks all

I've pointed the person concerned at this thread - I'll let you know how she gets on.

and do not let her get put off by some manufacturers, if they say it can't be done fine one that can.

A note to the likes of Otter and O3 - Believe it or not there are women of all shapes and sizes who dive and we are here to stay - do not exclude us with laziness.
