My 4/3 & 6/5 chest zips have come apart. I tried the Fix,N,Zip on the 4/3 & it lasted 1 session but maybe I wasn't patient enough installing it. Are there other products, ideas for a lasting zipper repair? Its just the bail coming apart from the teeth on both.

Thanks

Take them in to ProMotion in Hood River. They do excellent wetsuit repairs.

Promotion no longer doing zipper repair

Anyone know anyone local that messes with this kind of stuff?

Tooth broke off, zipper came off one side, the fix n zip thing not working

Thanks!

Thanks for the help!

Its a 4-3 Oneill Epic, just over a year old so they won't warranty it, can mail it to them and they say it will cost $50 total so that is an option but would prefer local, thanks for the help
