YKK | プラスチック製オープンエンドジッパー | 2ウェイ | レッド | #5 | 17 3/4'' - 45 cm

This red zipper’s a perfect match for my bright jacket project—the #5 teeth zip smoothly even on a curve. The two-way pull is great for adjusting ventilation without fully opening it.

The molded plastic teeth feel surprisingly sturdy, yet the zipper is lightweight enough for a jacket. I’ve used it to replace a broken zipper on a raincoat, and the two-way slider makes opening from the bottom much easier.

This red zipper glides open and shut better than any separating zipper I’ve used before, and the molded plastic teeth are surprisingly sturdy for a lightweight jacket. It’s exactly 45 cm long, which fit my custom project perfectly.
