Two-Way Coil Zipper YKK

Two-Way Coil Zipper YKK

A two-way coil zipper YKK opens from both ends, which makes it the right choice for jackets, tents, sleeping bags and any project where you need the zipper to separate at the bottom as well as the top. The coil construction runs smoothly and holds up to repeated use, even on garments that get pulled open and closed several times a day. You'll find these zippers in various lengths, ready to sew straight into your project or to shorten yourself. Whether you sew for yourself or run a small production line, this category gives you a practical, reliable component that's easy to work with.

What makes a two-way zipper different

A standard zipper has one slider and opens from a single point. A two-way coil zipper YKK has two sliders, so the garment or item can open from the top and the bottom at the same time. Think of a winter jacket that needs to open fully at the front, or a duffel bag that needs to unzip from both sides for easy access. The coil itself is made from tightly wound plastic teeth, which gives a bit more flexibility than a metal zipper and works well on curved seams.

Available lengths

We stock this zipper in a few practical lengths, so you can pick what fits your pattern without cutting and re-finishing the ends yourself. Options include the 80cm Two-Way Coil Zipper YKK, the 90cm Two-Way Coil Zipper YKK and the 100cm Two-Way Coil Zipper YKK. These lengths cover most jacket and outerwear patterns, and if a pattern calls for something shorter, you can always trim a longer zipper down and finish the end yourself.

Where you'd use this zipper

Two-way coil zippers show up most often in:

• winter jackets and coats that open fully at the front
• sleeping bags, so you can vent from the top or bottom
• tents and outdoor gear
• duffel bags and travel luggage
• tarps, covers and other technical textile applications

Because the coil is plastic, it stays a bit lighter and more flexible than a metal alternative, which matters on garments that need to move with the body.
