The YKK No.8 is one of the most robust zip specifications in the YKK range — a go-to choice for makers and repairers working with motorbike jackets, heavy leather coats, aviator jackets, and outdoor canvas. The 8mm metal teeth and 35mm woven tape deliver the strength and presence that lighter zips simply can't match, while the autolock slider holds firmly in position when released. Supplied in black throughout for a clean, consistent finish on dark outerwear and workwear.
Length is measured from the bottom box to the top stop and does not include the additional tape extending beyond the stops. This zip can be shortened from the top if a bespoke length is needed.
