AQUASEAL® Plastic Drysuit Zipper with Metal Pull

YKK AQUASEAL® Plastic Drysuit Zipper with Metal Pull: Modern, Flexible Sealing

Looking to replace or upgrade your drysuit zipper with a more modern and flexible option? The YKK AQUASEAL® zipper is a leading choice, offering a departure from traditional, stiffer metal zips. Its design provides a high degree of water tightness with a noticeably smoother operation.

This zipper utilizes an innovative design with a film-coated tape and a unique zipper element mechanism. This combination results in a zipper that is more pliable, making your drysuit a little easier to move in and manage.

Why the Metal Pull Tab?

This specific version comes with a metal pull tab, which YKK highly recommends over plastic pull tab options for enhanced zipper longevity and durability. It's a small detail that contributes to the overall function of the zipper system through repeated use.

Care & Handling Recommendations from YKK:

• Before Storing: Always rinse off any debris from both sides of the zipper. Take care not to bend the zipper sharply during cleaning or storage.
• Storage: Store your suit so that no heavy objects are placed on top of the zipper, and keep it away from excessive heat and moisture.
• When Zipping: Move the slider slowly and deliberately. Pulling at an angle can cause the teeth to misalign, which may affect the watertight seal or damage the zipper. Avoid applying excess force to the bottom stop.

Important Usage Disclaimer:

This YKK fastener is designed for drysuits and active marine sportswear. It is NOT suitable for use on items like "walking water balls" or similar enclosures where the zipper is the primary load-bearing or life-support component. YKK will not provide warranties for such use.
