YKK 56/6 DA 86 E/DAG8 E 5/8 P-TOP #5 Vislon 30-Inch Separating Jacket Zippers, 2-Pack, Deep Brown

Replacing a zipper on a medium-weight jacket? This two-pack of YKK #5 Vislon separating zippers gives you 30-inch options in a deep brown shade. The molded plastic elements suit jacket projects where a matching color and a zipper designed to separate are part of the plan.

For a jacket project, choosing between metal and molded-plastic elements can come down to the look and weight you want. YKK describes its Vislon zipper as lighter than a metal zipper of the same size, with color created by adding pigment during injection molding.

Fit and sizing

Each zipper is 30 inches long and is intended for a medium-weight jacket. The #5 Vislon style uses molded plastic elements and a separating design, making it relevant for jacket fronts that need to come apart when unzipped. The deep brown color, identified as 916, offers a defined shade to coordinate with a garment or repair project.

The pack contains two zippers, useful when you are preparing more than one jacket or want a pair on hand for sewing work. For example, if a medium-weight jacket needs a replacement closure, the 30-inch length and separating format provide the key sizing and style details to match against the project before sewing.

Where it shines

Vislon molded-plastic elements offer a different approach from metal zipper teeth. YKK notes that this construction is lighter than metal zippers of the same size, which may matter when selecting components for a medium-weight jacket. The injection-molded color also makes the deep brown tone part of the zipper’s design rather than a separate decorative detail.

This is a practical choice for garment makers and repair projects that call for a 30-inch separating zipper in deep brown. A project focused on matching a specific jacket can prioritize the color and length, a project comparing zipper materials can consider the molded-plastic construction and its stated weight advantage over same-size metal zippers.
