Wetsuite

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!

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