Although I cannot imagine getting into or out of a suit made of that material, let alone wearing one.

Wearing one is great. No problems whatsoever, incredibly warm, and dries as fast as you'd think, given that you own the booties.
Getting into one isn't as bad as you'd think, either... once it molds to your form. (which it does, oddly enough... after about 10 dives it starts to mold to the curves of your body, fitting better than ever) Until then I'll admit it's more of a challenge than others are.
It's not as easy to get into as a more standard wetsuit, but again, you seldom have to put it on wet, and dry it's not that bad. My biggest beef is that the high tech coating the use outside to help it dry fast (inside it's just raw neoprene, nothing special, but it works... it is coated with anti-microbial stuff, however, further reducing any smell factor at all) wears poorly: It gets holes rubbed into it rather easily by straps and such... it's just nowhere near as durable as regular neoprene. And for the price, I expect it to last longer.
I'll happily wear mine until it dies, but once it goes, I'll be looking at other companies for a wetsuit.
I'm totally keeping the gloves and booties, however. ;-)
