ok. i tought you should be able to zip the booties while still sitting on the plane . I saw a jumper zipping his booties on a tony suit and is probably due to the design.or maybe he had a larger size . But now that you tell me i know my suit is ok. the other issue is zipping the leg bootie is still dificult because it is too tight... I live like about an hour from zephyrhills , fl . so i guess i will go and have some one take a look at it. thanks for the info unclecharlie it was great helpQuote " THE SKY IS THE LIMIT "
