Can you provide a better description, pix of the zipper problem?

The zipper tracks on each side of the suit are fine - the actual zipper mechanism that is attached to the leash pulled off, but didn't take any teeth with it... I would imagine anyone with any sewing ability at all could simply put on a new zipper pull and add a leash. Unfortunately, I do not have the zipper pull or the leash, so you'll need to acquire those.

Great suit - used it diving in Pensacola in April on the Oriskany. On our second dive site that day, I spotted cobia on the surface and dashed to jump in the water freediving. In my haste, I pulled too hard with the flaps not straight and yanked the leash right off of it. Luckily, the cobia waited around long enough for me to get a shot (see avatar) - wet suit open in the back, no gloves, just me and my speargun. Needless to say, I think I got my money's worth from the suit and willing to pass it along at a good deal to someone who needs a 5mm. I bought the suit specifically for that trip - don't need anything more than a 3mm here in South Florida.

Price is firm - after all, it was $190 retail originally.

By the way, love your second quote... might have to steal it as I'm 'not that kind of doctor either'.
