Zipper pioneer Artilect celebrates repairability of YKK product
Colorado-based outdoor brand Artilect has become the first to incorporate new fastening technology YKK into garments.
It has put YKK’s Revived zipper into its Formation 3L Shell jacket and High AF down jacket. The significance of this, the brand said, is that the new zips are repairable. Artilect co-founder and chief executive, Trent Bush, has described this as a major breakthrough. The zipper slider can be detached and reattached in the field by the wearer, or at a retail store.
