got a free o'neal wet suite today, in almost perfect condition the only problem is the zipper came off. I still have the original zipper and all the teeth are fine. Is there anyway to put the zipper back on the teeth??

That's probably the issue... an O'neal is probably a knock off from an O'Neill wetsuit. May not be worth the cost of repair.

Oh, so you don't own an O'Neal? That's a good thing. Sounds defective. If you had a receipt and the suit was less than a year old, O'Neill will repair it for free. Try to find a local seamstress who works with neoprene (divers suits get messed as well) who may be able to reattach the zipper for you. Good luck!

Nice one Otter.

You could send it off to a custom wetsuit manufacturer who could put a new zip on. There are a few companies around.
