YKK Chain Zippers

Whether the weather is sunny or snowy, rainy or windy zippers are a part of our daily routines. They help seal in our body heat on a warm jacket, during the winter, or keep the bugs out of our tents during the summer.
Learn MoreZippers are an important part of lives and something we sometimes forget. When it comes time to replace the zipper on your tent or some outdoor equipment with a zipper like the soft top of a car or boat, you can not just buy any old zipper from the store like you would with an old pair of jeans. You need a high quality and durable zipper.
Here at JT’s Outdoor Fabrics we provide a wide selection of do it yourself equipment and material for any repair job. From boats to patio furniture, you can find any tool or product you need to get the job done. We have offer the most durable outdoor zippers for anything that needs replacement.
Types of Chain Zippers
There are three types of zippers commonly used:
Metal Chain Zippers
With a metal chain zipper the teeth of the zipper are made of a metal alloy. They are usually made of a metal that is resistant to corrosion and rust from exposure to the elements. The metal zippers that we provide customers are made of either aluminum or brass. These metals are both lightweight and sturdy so you get the most use out of your zip.
Molded Plastic Chain Zippers
With a molded plastic chain zipper the teeth are molded and attached directly to the tape of the zipper in production.
Coil Chain Zippers
A coil chain zipper or a nylon zipper is now one of the most widely used zipper type, due to its flexibility, simplicity, and durability. With these zippers the teeth are made of plastic which is sewn onto the zipper tape.
At this time JT’s Outdoor Fabrics offers zippers from the YKK brand exclusively.
