YKK VISLON 25 cm zip – open-ended, 1-way, plastic

YKK VISLON 25 cm zip – open-ended, light and sturdy for jackets and sportswear

The YKK VISLON zip in 25 cm length is an open-ended, 1-way plastic zip with one slider, intended for jackets and sportswear. The teeth are injection-moulded onto the tape, so they sit firmly. This makes it considerably lighter than metal zips of the same length, while it remains sturdy.

Tape and teeth are colour-matched, so the zip does not stand out in the jacket. Choose your colour from the options.

Where the VISLON is used

The zip is suitable for jackets and sportswear such as ski suits and motorcycle clothing. The plastic keeps the weight down, which you notice in functional clothing. The teeth are 5 mm wide and the tape measures 14 mm. Plan your seam allowance accordingly.

Open-ended with one slider: how to insert it

Because the zip is open-ended, the two halves can be separated completely, so the jacket opens fully. The single slider runs from one side. To close it, push the pin all the way into the retainer box and only then pull the slider upwards. If the pin is not seated properly, the teeth engage out of line. Measure the opening of your garment before buying, as the series is available in other lengths.
