What is a divisible spiral zipper

A divisible spiral zipper is made up of fine, spiral-shaped plastic teeth that interlock as you pull the slider up. Thanks to the divisible mechanism, you can completely separate both sides of the zipper, just like on a jacket or coat that opens all the way. The spiral structure provides smooth, quiet movement and flexes easily with curved or rounded seams. Nylon is lightweight yet strong, so the zipper lasts for years without snagging. This size 5 version is sturdy enough for medium-weight projects and still thin enough to sew in neatly.
