    YKK Vislon HEAVY Two Way Plastic Open End Zipper #8 (7mm) Zip Chain 6 Colours/ 4 Sizes Heavy-weight moulded tooth zip with movable bottom slider. Allows zip to be opened from both the top and bottom Teeth Width = 7mm Tape Width = 35mm Choose From 6 Colours 24" - (61cm) 26" - (66cm) 28" - (71cm) 30" - (76cm) 27/2/20 - Please note - YKK describe the Grey zip as Dark Grey when in actual fact it is more like Mid Grey.  Please keep this in mind when making your purchase. I only just took delivery of these zips and was surprised by how well made they are. The teeth on the zip are thicker than the normal 5mm teeth and give it a real chunky look and feel to it. They open at both top and bottom so you can pull the zip up from the bottom to allow you get something from your trouser pocket for example. Theyre made by YKK who are probably one of the best zip manufacturers in the world today and this will explain the price. Its not a budget zip, its quality   Hope this helps   Kind regards   Martin

Please consider this when ordering. The YKK Vislon No.8 is a heavy duty open-end zip built for demanding garment applications. The No.8 gauge refers to the tooth width — at 8mm these are substantially larger than the No.5 teeth used in most everyday garments, giving a stronger, more reliable fastening suited to outerwear, workwear, and performance clothing. YKK Vislon zips use moulded plastic teeth rather than coil, which gives a distinctive chunky appearance and a very smooth, positive action.This listing covers the longer lengths from 24 to 32 inches, making it the right choice for full-length coats, long parkas, maxi-length outerwear, and any garment where a standard jacket zip length won’t reach. The open-end construction means the zip fully separates at the base — the standard for any garment that opens completely.SpecificationsBrand: YKKRange: VislonGauge: No.8 (8mm tooth width)Type: Open end (separating)Tape width: 35mmTeeth material: Moulded plasticLengths: 24 inch (61cm), 26 inch (66cm), 28 inch (71cm), 30 inch (76cm), 32 inch (81cm)Colours: 14 (see variant selector)Country of origin: United KingdomHS Code: 9607110000Colour accuracy: Colours may appear slightly different depending on your monitor settings and lighting conditions.
