I used to use talc; but a decade or so ago I bought one of those
one-piece nylon skinsuits. If you wear that under the wetsuit, it
really helps getting it on and off.


I have some silk longies that I wear to help with chafe. Not perfect though.

None of this addresses the issue of urinating easily. A drysuit with a
crotch zipper would work then; but in that case you may as well
buy/wear pile and Gore-tex.


This (plus the chafe & the itch) was what I meant when I said
"habitability" in earlier post. Wetsuits are great if you're splashing
around in cold water, but they're awful if worn longer than a few hours
at a time. Plus, after you've worked up a good sweat in one, you
shouldn't be allowed to take it off in the cabin (or anywhere other than
a shower at home). I think this is how the word "skank" was invented.
