Scubapro Nova Scotia Semi Dry Wetsuit Zipper Issue

[eth727]

Okay I've got a almost new SCUBAPRO NOVA SCOTIA Semi Dry wetsuit. The last time I used it the zipper closed fine. I tried closing it and the begining of it about 1" wouldn't zip. I opened it again and tried it over. The same thing happened. Has anyone out there had this issue. Any idea on how to fix it?
Thanks

There should have been a tube of lubricant that came with the wetsuit, make sure you put some on the zipper, and work the zipper up and down.

If you are not wearing the suit and you are working the zipper, it's not unusual for the inside lining to get stuck in the zipper. This normally happens when there's a fold in the zipper.

If you get sand in the zipper, or you haven't washed it properly either, it's also possible for it to get jammed.

If you're at a dive site and still can't get it closed, making the zipper wet can work really well.

Make sure there's no folds in the parts being closed or that will sometimes stop it from closing properly.
