Hi all, the zipper on my wetsuit is broke, some teeth are missing and the zip has come off the slider on one side. Anyone ever have this happen and if so how was it fixed? Apparently there's a place in Dundrum that is good for fixing wetsuits but their website says they don't fix zips!
Cheers Mark

It might be worth having a chat with the guys in the diving section in Great Outdoors. I suspect they will be able to point you to someone experienced (I expect a diving and a friend wetsuit zip repair is much the same). Good luck.

Hi Mark- this is the place in Dundrum that Frank recommended- seems like they do zips from the Website info? www.drysuittailors.com/

Cheers guys, their website is a bit confusing . Underneath the zips part there's a wetsuit section and it says they currently do not replace or repair zips. I've popped them an email anyways to see.
I'll give great outdoors a ring this afternoon, balls of a weekend to happen

My T1 time took a bit of a battering as a result but yeah good to get round. Westport next weekend so need a suit sorted by then. Might be onto 'swim cycle run' for a new neoprene toy

Hope that lad in Dundrum can sort you out. He fixed a tear in my wetsuit a couple of weeks ago and only charged a tenner. If you're still stuck I could lend you my wetsuit for next wkend if you want

They emailed back and said no can do, too expensive to fix a wetsuit zipper. Will I be able to swim as fast as you if I'm wearing your wetsuit?! Cheers Johnny, I'll hopefully sort something.
