Divisible VISLON® Zippers YKK

Divisible VISLON® Zippers YKK

Divisible VISLON® zippers YKK are heavy-duty zippers built around chunky plastic teeth, made for jackets, coats and outdoor gear that need to take a beating. Unlike a regular closed-end zipper, a divisible zipper separates completely at the bottom, so the two sides of a jacket front open all the way rather than staying joined at one end. That makes them the standard choice for outerwear, workwear and any garment where the front panels need to come fully apart. We stock them in a range of fixed lengths and colours, ready for direct shipping from our Tilburg warehouse.

What makes a VISLON® zipper different

The teeth are injection-moulded from polyacetal resin and mounted on a polyester tape, which gives a chunkier, more visible tooth than a coil zipper. That block-tooth construction handles repeated opening and closing without teeth slipping or misaligning, even when it's caked in mud or covered in ice. It's the reason you see VISLON® zippers on ski jackets, work coats and heavy outdoor bags rather than on lightweight garments where a finer coil zipper would do the job just as well.

Why choose a divisible zipper

A divisible zipper is essential wherever a garment needs to open fully rather than just partway. Think of a bomber jacket, a parka or a fleece with a full front closure: the two halves need to separate completely at the bottom hem so you can put it on and take it off without wrestling with a stuck slider. That's the key difference with a closed-end zipper, which stays joined and is better suited to bags, cushions or garments with a short opening. If you're finishing a jacket pattern, divisible VISLON® is generally the right call.

Colours and ordering

Each length comes in a range of colours, so you can match the zipper to the fabric rather than settle for whatever's on hand. Zippers are sold per piece, which keeps things straightforward whether you need one for a single repair or a batch for a small production run. Prices stay sharp across the range, and the assortment is broad enough to cover most outerwear projects without needing to special-order.
