While trying on the brand new suit, I managed to rip the little strap which holds the zipper together, and prevents it from being stretched open all the way. See the pic below.

Has this happened to any of you? Is this a tragedy? How fixable is this? HELP! lol

That sucks... maybe aquaseal? Aquaseal is pretty amazing stuff.

After tacking it together just so it holds, I would sandwich it with more glue between a new layer of material on both sides, so it has more surface area to bind solid with.

Or you can just glue a new one on..

You should probably ask the manufacturer: you’d not expect it to break on day 1?

Hmmm
How tall are you? It you are about 5’6” I’d say it’s now garbage and I’ll gladly do the disposal for you. That’s how nice I am!

As mentioned above, contact Seaskin would be my recommendation

Is that thing that fragile? Or you somehow really messed up?

Lol I am about 10" taller unfortunately. Already emailed Seaskin, will see what they suggest.

I just tried donning it on my own and forced too hard to get it over the shoulders. Force isn't always the answer lol.

Yes thats what I had in mind. Do you have an adhesive you'd suggest?
