What is a divisible spiral zipper?

A divisible spiral zipper consists of two separate tapes that you click together at the bottom end piece, usually with a metal or plastic pin. This is different from a closed zipper, which stays permanently attached. The spiral section, made from fine plastic thread sewn in a wavy pattern onto the tape, gives the zipper its flexibility and smooth operation. Since the zipper opens completely, you can fully separate the two parts of a garment or bag. This makes getting dressed much easier, especially with heavier fabrics or lined pieces.

Uses and Projects

This zipper is built for applications that need full opening, and the cobalt blue color makes it especially suited for projects where the zipper stays visible as an accent. Think of:

• Summer and winter jackets that need to open completely
• Softshell and fleece vests
• Sporty bomber jackets
• Sleeping bags and outdoor gear
• Cushion covers and bags with a statement closure
• Children's clothing where easy dressing matters
• Homemade gilets and body warmers
• Repairing existing garments with a divisible zipper
