About This Zip
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. The open-end construction means the zip fully separates at the base, making it the standard choice for any garment that opens completely — jackets, fleeces, gilets, and coats.
