YKK Vislon Wetsuit Zipper Material (Sold By The Foot)

Tackling a wetsuit zipper replacement or another custom gear project? We offer genuine YKK Vislon Zipper material by the foot, allowing you to get the exact length you need for your repair or creation.

Why YKK Vislon Matters for Dive Gear:

YKK Vislon zippers are a top choice for marine applications for several key reasons.

• It's Built Tougher: Vislon zippers feature individually injected, molded plastic teeth. This design is significantly stronger and more durable than a standard coil zipper, and it performs much better when exposed to sand and saltwater.
• Corrosion-Proof: Since the teeth are plastic, they will never corrode, ensuring smooth operation for the life of your gear.

Choose the Right Size for Your Project:

We offer two standard sizes to fit your application:

• YKK #5 Vislon: Features teeth that are 5.5mm across. This size is great for pockets, cooler lids, or other lighter-duty gear projects.
• YKK #10 Vislon: Features larger, heavy-duty 8.5mm teeth. This is the ideal choice for replacing a main entry zipper on a wetsuit or for use on large, durable gear bags.

What You Get (And What You'll Need):

Each foot of zipper material you order comes with one (1) appropriately sized zipper pull (slider). Please note that because this is bulk zipper chain, it does not include a zipper stop at the top or bottom. For most gear repair applications, a new stop can be easily created using a product like AquaSeal.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This zipper material is NOT waterproof. It should not be used for a main drysuit entry zipper or any application that requires a truly watertight seal.
