The Effortless Jacket Upgrade

Close your jacket with one hand.
No sewing or modifications, just independence.

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 or MagZip technology.

Designed for Most Plastic Zippers

ZipperBuddy 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!
