YKK Cerniera lampo aperta | Plastica stampata | Viola | #5 | 17'' - 43 cm

Finally got around to replacing the worn zipper on my favorite camping hoodie and this #5 molded plastic one works perfectly. The purple color is a spot-on match for the jacket’s accents, and the open-end slider glides smoothly even over the thicker fabric.

Sewing a jacket where the front opens fully, and this #5 plastic coil glides so smoothly I forgot it wasn’t metal. The purple shade is a rich, deep violet that pops against navy fabric. One zipper arrived exactly as ordered, no twists or defects.

I grabbed this for a hoodie that lost its pull in a wash cycle, and the 17-inch length lined up with the old one perfectly. The open-end separation is smooth, and the molded #5 teeth glide without catching on the fabric. It’s a solid fix for a broken jacket.
