One Piece Suits - Toilet Access

We offer three alternatives for toilet access on all our full body suits:

  1. Under & Up zip: the main front zip is 2-way and goes right down through the crutch and up the lower back Advantages: Simple, low zip weight, usable with harness on.
  2. Rainbow Seat zip: a 2-way semi-circular curved zip across the seat Advantages: Simple, low zip weight, usable with harness on
  3. Full side zips: 2-way, both sides, armpit to ankle Advantages: Easy to use whatever the fastening system on underclothes, side zips double as ventilators. Contras: More total zip weight, hard to use with harness on.

For all the alternatives it will help you to make up your mind, if you know what closure system is on the clothing you will be wearing under the suit.

Note: The side zips are short (knee-length) on systems 1) and 2).
