73 cm / 28.74 in N5 TPU-Coated Water-Resistant Two-Way Separating Zipper for Parkas and Outdoor Jackets ENC0073SG

This 73 cm / 28.74 in N5 TPU-coated water-resistant two-way separating zipper is made for parkas, long jackets, softshell outerwear and technical garments that need both a secure front closure and adjustable movement at the hem.

The two-slider combi construction gives the garment more flexibility than a standard single-slider zipper. The upper slider manages the main front closure, while the lower slider can be moved upward to open the hem area when the wearer is walking, sitting, driving or layering clothing underneath the jacket.

Why Choose a Two-Way Separating Zipper?

Long outerwear can feel restrictive when the lower front remains completely closed. A two-way separating zipper lets the wearer open the lower section only when needed, while the upper part of the jacket remains closed.

This can improve comfort while walking, climbing stairs, sitting in a vehicle or wearing thicker layers. It also gives technical jackets and parkas a more functional construction without changing the overall silhouette of the garment.

TPU-Coated Water-Resistant Surface

The TPU-coated surface helps reduce direct water exposure along the zipper line and creates a smooth, modern technical finish. It is suitable for rainwear-inspired garments, softshell collections, urban parkas and outdoor apparel where a cleaner front closure is desired.

A water-resistant zipper is not the same as a fully waterproof garment. The outer fabric, seam tape, storm flap, pocket zippers, hood construction and overall sewing quality must all be evaluated together.

Measure the Actual Front Closure Length

The 73 cm / 28.74 in size refers to the zipper length, not the full garment length. Measure the actual front closure route from the collar or neckline to the hem. Account for seam allowance, lining, hood attachment, hem finish, ribbing and the intended lower opening area.

Before full production, test the zipper with the real outer fabric, lining and sewing construction. Make sure the lower slider moves freely and that thick seams, ribbing or lining layers do not interfere with operation.

Black 322 Zipper Tape

This model is listed with Black 322 zipper tape. It works naturally with black, charcoal, navy, dark green and dark brown outerwear. On lighter garments, it can be used as a deliberate technical contrast detail.
