Review on ๐Ÿงฅ YKK 36" Parka Jacket Zipper - Extra Heavy Duty YKK #10 "2-Way" Antique Brass - Choose Brown 570 for Enhanced SEO by Michelle Langley

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I love these amazingly durable zippers!

Unfortunately, manufacturers insist on using plastic clasps instead of metal clasps. I find that metal zippers are more effective in heavy garments like parkas, winter coats, jackets, etc. Thank goodness this company still makes those amazingly strong zippers. I have swapped zippers on three very expensive jackets and saved over $1600 (the cost of swapping my jackets). Most dry cleaners will charge $50 to replace a zipper, which is still cheaper than buying a new jacket. Why not replace the zip, especially when the jacket is fairly new like mine was? Plastic zippers in all three jackets broke after two winters!

Pros
  • Almost indestructible with an antique finish
Cons
  • Only available in white
