Ron, the Unisuit is a medium and is thrashed. The zipper is missing teeth and the neoprene is either rotted or missing. Restoration is not even a remote possibility. It is FUBAR. Sorry 'bout that. I did however find the original owner's instruction and repair manual that came with the suit. I'll scan it on Monday and can email it to you or Bryan if you want to include it in the manuals section. Mark

A zipper leak in that area would quickly get your attention!

Bryan, Ron,

I e-mailed my copy of the Unisuit manual to both of you.
