$ 64.99 USD
ZipperBuddy makes closing your jacket easy—just one hand, no sewing, no special clothing, no compromises.
This one-time upgrade attaches to your jacket’s zipper and transforms it into an inclusive, one-handed closure using hook-and-loop fasteners (think Velcro). A buddy may be needed for setup, but once it’s on, you can fasten your favorite jackets and hoodies without assistance.
Headed out for a chilly walk or layering up for the day? ZipperBuddy gives you freedom, comfort, and effortless independence—with no permanent changes to your clothes. 😊 Love it or send it back—30 days, no stress.
How to Pick Your ZipperBuddy
-
Measure the zipper length on your jacket or hoodie
Most folks prefer 22” or 24”—slightly shorter than the full zipper for best comfort and style. -
Check your zipper type
Flip the zipper pull to see if it has a #5 on the back and plastic teeth (see below to match yours).

How it Works
ZipperBuddy is made of two pieces that zip directly to the preexisting zipper on your jacket or hoodie. Simply match the zipper sides, zip them on, and enjoy the freedom to open and close your jacket with ease, thanks to hook-and-loop technology.
Designed for Most Plastic Zippers
ZipperBuddy Swift works with most plastic #5 zippers (like the YKK Vislon #5). After a one-time installation from a friend or loved one who can navigate zippers, you’ll gain independence to close your jacket with just one hand—whether you have full dexterity or not. No permanent modifications required!
You will look at the zipper pull and type to see if it's plastic or vislon. Then look for the number 5. If it has both of those things, choose swift!
