What is the difference between a Front Entry (GFE) and a Meridian (GME) dry suit?

Simple Answer: The GME has an overskirt the GFE does not. Extended version: An over skirt is an extra piece of fabric covering the chest and back and has a waist band at the bottom. It’s designed to layer with a neoprene spray skirt tunnel. It helps keeps water that lands on the deck of the boat or on your head from making its way between the suit and spray skirt tunnel and ending up in your boat. If you paddle a closed-cockpit kayak in rough water (in a river, lake or ocean), the over skirt will help keep the cockpit drier.
