Spent a whole month in the Gulf doing hull scrubs with my wetsuit on backwards. A deckhand finally asked why my zipper was on my chest.

Been there with a drysuit once. Marked the front with a big X in permanent marker after that. Couldn't see the label through the fogged-up mask.

Oh man, that's brilliant. I just sewed a patch on the chest of mine. Looked like a toddler did it. Still put it on backwards twice last season. Guess the patch isn't as obvious as I hoped.

Yikes, that's a whole new level of wetsuit struggle. @averyh52 has the right idea with marking it, but maybe you need something you can feel, not just see. Like a big bead of silicone sealant or a patch of that rough grip tape on the front shoulder.
