I think I've found a swimsuit that might solve all the issues with zips. This model has a short shoulder zip.

A bit more expensive, than I would like to pay for it, but it might be my perfect yoga outfit.

won't the zipper start digging in your shoulder?

That's what I'm worrying about. I like these suits very tight.

A disadvantage of the back zipper is that it tends to pull down the neck line. That doesn't happen with shoulder zippered suits; they fit much better especially in very small sizes.
I happen to own one an original Speedo Aquablade Hydrasuit with shoulder entry. I don't find it less comfortable than any of my back zippers even though it's one of my tightest suits 😁 .
The zipper is a little bit tricky to close, though.

Now that they are offering larger sizes (as custom orders), I thought I'd give them a go, but it looks like they don't ship outside the EU.
Anyone had any luck getting them to ship to the USA?

Question for anyone here that own Pengu swimsuits:
I'm thinking of getting 1 or 2 suits for myself, I wanna ask, how's the fabric for Pengu suits?
I see that they have a few fabric selections, but I wanna know from your experiences which one feels the best/tightest to wear.

Maybe visit this Dutch 'men-in-onepiece-swimsuit' forum, where plenty of members have experience with Pengu (Swiss brand if I remember correctly). You can ask them about it in English.
