Here's a quick "How To" video showing how to quickly reset a broken dry suit zipper. To prevent this happening again keep the zipper lubricated, pull in-line with the zipper, pull evenly, and be gentle. There is no reason to yank on your zipper. If it isn't moving there is usually a good reason.
This is a skill everyone should have, these zippers are widely used on raft pockets, dry suits, wetsuits, dry bags, and other gear for whitewater, scuba, kite-boarding, and other watersports.
This fix works for MasterSeal TIZip, YKK Proseal, and YKK Aquaguard zippers which are currently used in Yeti Coolers, and drysuits made by NRS, Kokatat, Immersion Research (aka IR), Level Six and Stohlquist. This does not work for the Typhoon metal drysuit zipper
