Repairing Your Motorcycle Jacket Zipper

When can I use Clip Zip?

Your equipment, such as jackets or boots, have one or more zips. Doesn't the zipper sometimes refuse to close? It jams or doesn't engage properly?

Like all zips, due to frequent use, the slider wears out and widens as it opens and closes, with the result that your motorbike jacket no longer closes, for example.

It's precious to you, and having it repaired by a traditional seamstress costs the same as buying a new jacket.

That's why we've come up with the Clip Zip solution: simple, quick and economical, the replacement slider will close your damaged zip again!

We have slider sizes to fit your motorbike jacket or shoes!
What's more, Clip Zip sliders have a system that keeps your jacket closed while you're out and about: a small hook locks the teeth in place when you lower the pull tab.

Find the right slider for my zip:

To find the correct reference, you need to measure the width of the teeth when they are engaged.

Here are a few tips:

• If you still have the original slider, measure the width of the inside of the slider, this corresponds to the width of the teeth when they are closed.
  
  
• Still with the original cursor, you can look behind it, often there is a number with one or two letters. This number indicates the size of the slider. Then, by identifying your mesh, you can identify the slider you need. Example: it says 5S on the back of my slider. So I deduce that it's a size 5. I look at my zip and identify the spiral stitch, which is referenced as 'C' on our site. = 5C.

You can also use our reference card to download and print. It shows the interlocking teeth and indicates the actual sizes. You'll be able to compare it with your zip, and find the right reference.
