How to install your ZipperBuddy MagZip

Thanks for your order. The first install takes about a minute. After that it's one hand, every time.

Watch it once first: the whole install and first zip in 28 seconds.

Before you start

  • Check the zipper. The standard ZipperBuddy fits a #5 plastic-tooth separating zipper. Flip the pull over and look for a "5" stamped on the back.

  • Check the side. Hold the jacket facing you as if you're about to put it on, zipper open. Your ZipperBuddy matches the side the pull is on.

  • Open the jacket all the way and lay it flat.

Zip it in. Snap. Zip.

  1. Zip it in. ZipperBuddy rides on your jacket's own zipper. Open your coat and zip ZipperBuddy on like a second layer. No needle, no glue.

  2. Bring the halves close. The MagZip ends pull toward each other and lock. No lining up, no looking down, no pinching the little box.

  3. Zip with one hand. Pull up like any zipper. Pull apart to open.
