Wetsuit Zipper Repair

[manbearpig]

My 3/2 the zipper tab completely broke off last year and so did the piece that holds it in. So I can’t replace with wire or anything. Anyone have any fixes before I try to bring it to a tailor?

is this any good?

why not manufacturer repair?

 

[manbearpig]

I guess I could send out but would rather just deal with it myself

Because he'd need a wetsuit that's within warranty and a proof of purchase.

Get a new suit, cheapo. I’d send you one of mine but judging by the size of your boards I have to assume they’d be too big.

your wetsuits still have zippers??

While I am a cheap bastard the Suits good enough for a 3/2 for a bit longer easily. I’d rather invest in new cold water suits

Oops, I meant Long Island sound.

Regardless, you're a stone's throw away sitting on the same body of water and there's no waves there.

You could just paddle your SUP wearing boat shoes, slacks, and a nice sweater.

Can confirm that this fixnzip works. Replaced the pull on a still functioning wetsuit, and slid and locked the zipper better than the original…at least just before it busted (Isurus 6/5).
