I bought a used wetsuit and was trying it on. Long story short - it's a bit too...ummm...snug in the middle. I'm hoping to rectify it before next cold water dive season!

It's a farmer John style 6.5mm Mares wetsuit, front zip long sleeved top. We won't go into trying to get out of a front zip wetsuit that is too small when you're alone. Lesson learned!!

the zipper pull came off as I was trying to pull it up. I want to replace it. Can the zipper pull be replaced or do I need a whole new zipper? If it can be replaced, where can I get one?

Thanks in advance!!
 
I found those too. What I need is the actual pull, the part that meshes the teeth together. The string is the easy part!!
 
Yes they can easily be replaced. Many dry cleaners stock them along with fabric stores.

Ahh, the ever elusive slider. My bad!
