While preparing for my second dive today, a tooth broke on the zipper. We were able to get the zipper back together but during the dive a second tooth broke. Not sure why this is happening. The zipper was waxed last night in preparation for today. However, I did not know the zipper reopened during the dive and while in the low 50's remained comfortable.
Another update on the Pinnacle Kodiak

Damn....I had 2 elements break the teeth this weekend....They are starting to investiage the problem. If you dont mind, where did you buy it, so when I talk to the Pinnacle guys again, I can remind them of this other instance as well so they can investigate them against each other to come to a final resolution
I received a Pinnacle element two weeks ago and two zipper teeth broke and the slide separated when I tried it on. LP replaced it. I just tried the new one in the pool this weekend with no problems. Sounds like a trend?
Also- the chiminney seals are loose on me [skinney forarms and calves, I guess], but the rest of the suit fits great for off the self. I needed to work the trapped air up from the arms and legs then burp the neck seal to keep from being too buoyant. That should be fun next week in Monterey.
Does any one know how hard/cost$ it is to get new seals?
