Zippers for Arthritic Hands
Fasteners can be challenging, particularly for those with arthritic conditions. We recommend choosing zippers with larger than average pulls that make gripping easier OR zippers with pulls that allow for the attachment of a fabric swatch, piece of leather or tab. On this page you'll find a selection of those types of zippers.
Medium-weight zippers (typically used on sweaters, medium-weight jackets or coats) typically use a #5, #7 or #8 zipper. Heavy duty jackets or coats will use a #8 or #10 zipper. Please note - the higher the gauge (size) of the zipper, the larger the pull.

Excellent place for zippers!
I like the zipper and it looks great in the jacket
Had to replace zipper on old Carhartt jacket, this zipper appears as heavy duty as the jacket itself.
I needed an appropriately sized zipper to apply to a steeked Icelandic style sweater, and this zipper worked perfectly for me. I was so happy to find what I needed online, as I live in a rural area and I'm not aware of any nearby stores that carry such items.
I needed to replace the zipper in an expensive work jacket for a friend. He really liked the jacket and couldn't find a replacement because it had been discontinued. I had used Zippershipper before and said no problem. Got a better zipper than the broken one and it arrived quickly.
The zipper pull fit perfectly. Thanks to your info on types of zippers, how to measure and repair tips, you saved a favorite jacket from the
scrap heap.It fixed quickly and easy. Thanks tons!
I needed a zipper slider for my grandson’s jacket. Not knowing the size, I ordered the assortment package. It was shipped right away and was just what I needed. Made for a happy kiddo. Thank you
Zipper arrived and I installed it and it works fine!
I received the heavy duty two way zipper in good time and the custom cut was perfect.
I had three clothing items (favorite outdoor vest, a relatively new hoodie and a really old hunting coat). I was able to repair all three in less than 15 minutes and have returned them from the "dead". The only issue that, in hindsight, was the hunting coat is reversible which takes a zipper than can flip to either side. Obviously this kit had no hardware to replace the original zipper. But that was my bad. Thumbs up from a very satisfied customer.
I am pleased with the auto lock slider for metal zipper. I especially like that I got to look at a video prior to using. I like that the pulls are very easy to be used.
I am in lover with the Continuous zippers. I prefer that to the individual zippers because they save me money.
I am very pleased with the zipper stops. They were very easy to use, the color was exactly as I expected, and my order came as quickly as I wanted them to. Thank you zipper shipper.
The zipper I received was exactly as described. It arrived quickly. My customer was very pleased.
Love them. It's a perfect replacement for the tux pants in our inventory that have broken and cracked ones.
