How to use a Two-Way Zipper | L.L.Bean 

Sometimes one-way gives trouble enough as it is. Two give just double trouble.

Thank you for helping me not break off the entire bottom zipper lol

Many people understand the concept of how this works. Unfortunately, many two way zippers don't zip up with as much ease as some of these videos describe. The biggest problem is the ease of misalignment of the upper and lower zippers when the wearer is wearing the jacket. I have a parka that I love but the zipper constantly drives me batty. I understand how it works, but you really need to spend time ensuring that both upper and lower zippers are perfectly aligned - otherwise even if it looks like it, the zip will get stuck on the upper zipper and now you are having to pull it apart and try again. The key is to get it align properly so when zipped you feel that click. However, for at least two brand new parkas/coats I have had, it is the same problem of both zippers being very difficult to align when I am wearing the coat. When it is on a bed flat, it is easy to do.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. I THREW THIS CARDIGAN DOWN THINKING IT WAS SPOILED MONTHS AGO. Was sorting clothing, found it, tried it on, got frustrated then decided to try RU-vid. This helped right away. You're a lifesaver!! Thank you again.

My partner complained that the zip on the new jacket was faulty. Spent 5 minutes looking at jackets to find that it was two-way zip. Then used RU-vid to find this video and how to use it. RU-vid is great.

This actually helped. Thank you kind RU-vid man

Ohh thanks for the tutorial..

I was banging my head trying to figure that one out, thanks it's not that difficult after all.

I've owned my parka for over a year now and didn't realize I even had a 2nd on that side...lol...now I feel dumb. finally got curious if I was doing something wrong...yay now I can finally wear this parka I love.

I hate 2 zippers it's so difficult to put the zip in and take it out, it's a real pain. I have left my coat open once I was soo frustrated.

Just one more thing to aggravate. As an oldster I have great difficulty lining up the two zips, especially on a longer coat. The benefits of this idea are outweighed by the drawbacks. I would buy coats with one zip only but these are getting harder and harder to find. It shows how bad an idea they are when you have to find a tutorial to work out how to zip up a jacket.

This definitely helped me with my Tracksuit jacket, Thank you Pal❤

Omg what a life saver I just got this jacket with double sides and I dont know how to use it I thought the zipper is broken tysm

Thank u so much mate i just bought this nike jacket and i was confused 🤣😂😂🤣🤣😂

How smart I am that I decided to watch such a video before going to the store))) Thank you so much!

this helped me use my double zipper jacket

i have a canada gose jacket and i have been trying to get the zipper to slide into that bottom zipper for about a half hour now and im about to lose my mind seeing how easy u just did it.... any ideas why the zipper isnt going in all the way?

Two-way zippers serve little to no useful purpose and more often than not create problems with zipper alignment and zipper guide issues. Most of the time the manufacturers use very poor material and design in the guided side of the zipper ( the left hand side ), which becomes damaged or frayed very quickly. They also cheap out on the pull or receiver side of the zipper, causing poor alignment situations resulting in the aforementioned damage and fraying and misalignment of the zipper teeth. For as long as we have incorporated zippers into our clothing, you would think this would be a mastered technique by now, but all manufacturers know that since few people will seek out someone to replace a zipper when it fails, that means more clothing sales, which means you buy their items over and over again. Two-way zippers were largely sold to us as a way convenient way to access our pockets without have to completely open or remove our coats and to also make sitting down easier, especially in a vehicle. Personally I have never used the bottom zipper to access a pocket nor have I ever open the bottom of my coat to sit down. If you need to open the bottom of you coat for venting purposes, then you probably wore the wrong coat or too much clothing to begin with.

Thank you so much, I was about to give up.

Thanks

thanks man, was waiting outside shivering

This video helped me save my marriage 👍🏻

it does not matter if it's perfectly lined up. it will not go all the way through and sit at the bottom. and then i can't zip up at all. it's definitely made me late just trying to zip up the jacket. I'm. doing everything I'm supposed to it just only sometimes will go in all the way

Thanks!!! I just bought my son a nice coat from Jordan Craig and for the life of me, I couldn't figure it out 🤣. I sent them a video and everything, thinking it was a defect 🤦🏾‍♀️🤣🤣🤣🤣.

merci beaucoup pour se tuto je ne comprenais pas

Thx

Wow had nice addias coat never understood found it found this life saver 😂

thank u so much

thank u man im new to niketechs

thank you for your help i freaked out how to get off my zipper

i’ve been feeling like an idiot for the last 10 minutes trying to figure out my under armour jacket, thank you

Is very nice have 2 sides zippers to allow catch things from the pockets jeans in the middle of a raining or snowing cold day, like that u don't need to open all when u need your wallet in a storm.

The bottom slider is driving me crazy. I don’t want it to keep opening every time I sit down. Any way to stop it?

As a fashion designer o had no clue what this zipper format did until now.

do you have to pull the jacket over your head to get it off?

appreciate it help me

Does this work on a nike tech

At times, these zippers may be sticky when trying to undo it. I found that placing it on a flat surface, putting pressure on the material around the zippers and pulling/pushing firmly (no yanking) will help undo it. On some of these jackets, the left side may in fact be the one that disengages the whole mechanism, too. Not the right side. If you need help, reach out or watch the lands end tutorial and you’ll see what I mean.

I had to look up how to even zip the winter Carhart jacket I was trying on and stand there in the store aisle like an idiot watching the video. Why do this? There's nothing wrong with one zipper; it still zips two ways. Thanks for the tutorial, though!

Baru tau ☺☺☺ thank

But how do I fix it once I mess it up and it's stuck? I got a nice jacket and it has this so I never wore it.

My man

One of mine is stuck at the top and the other at the bottom.. Once I get it fixed somehow, I'll try to use it properly 😮😅

Thank you, this demon almost beat me 😂

The visuals are good, but the text could use a little work. I think the left side of the zipper should be called “the left side of the zipper”, and not “the zipper“ or “it“ or “that”. I recently bought a coat from LL Bean and the zipper was already jammed. I have some experience with these double zippers: I own more than one already.

Oh, I just wish they would make better double zips. The bottom one always seems to fail after very short order anymore.

Two way zippers absolutely suck. $179 new jacket and I rarely can zip it on the first try. I've been wearing jackets for 60years...

How can you tell the size of a zipper, I need a replacement.

I broke the below zip, thinking that it's unecessarily present there😢

Hot to stop the bottom slider going up when I need zipper complete closed?

I can’t get mine unzipped again, like I can’t open the jacket where the zipper isn’t connected to the other side

Do you know what happen if the lower zipper is broken and i just take it off ? Can i use only the upper zipper normaly ?

saved

Why does my bottom zipper just completely come off

Nice for catch the wallet in the middle of a storm..

How to open when stuck?

Why make life difficult, and only use one zipper ' so you don't get confused and get it stuck🙄

❤️Ilbean🌨💨🌧🧥👍🏻👍🏻😊

Unlike most here it seems, I've had zero issues understanding how and what, however I thought there might be more uses for such a zipper than simply being able to open it up from the bottom.

Spent an hour trying to figure out how to do it

I had to watch this because I forgot how to use a zipper
