    This is the result of my poly/pro neck gaiter getting stuck.
    Felt fine till.....
    It will not close, up or down, either zipper.
    How do I fix this?

    Take a bar of soap and try to get some of it in the stuck edges. Soap does a great job of freeing up zippers

    Nooooo.
    The zippers move up and down, but will not interlock the zipper.
    See how the suit looks, that's not right.

    I had my zipper repaired/replaced with a heavy duty YKK by barnacle bill! Fantastic workmanship

    Any shoe repair joint or tailor will fix it.... (GET A METAL ONE/HEAVY DUTY YKK) Use Bee's Wax to keep zippin smooth...
