I know of some people who have installed zippers on their wet suits. i would imagine its the same. Contact a diving supply store as I bet they would have the info needed.

I went through this a while back. The deal is you have to get a drysuit quality zipper not a wetsuit zipper, and the zippers plus installing it coast almost as much as a good pair of breathable zippered waders.

If you find something that works that is a good deal please post it as have a pair of old neoprene hodgemans I always wanted to stick a zipper in.

What size do you wear? I got a pair of zippered breathable hodgeman hortex (their Goretex) waders in XL I never wear because they are a little to big for me.

I have a funnel with a tube attached that I got at Walmart. there is a valve that you can close to fill up the funnel. Then you just hang it over the side and undo the valve, and rinse.
