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.
