What is a divisible spiral zipper

A divisible spiral zipper is recognised by its spiral-shaped teeth made of plastic, which allows the zipper to open and close smoothly without catching. The divisible feature means that the two sides of the zipper can be completely separated at the bottom, something you don't have with a regular closed zipper. This quality makes it popular with sewists working on jackets, vests or other garments where the zipper needs to open completely. The nylon version is lightweight yet sturdy, and handles regular opening and closing without wear. Check out the full range of divisible nylon zippers YKK for more options in length and colour.
