How to Measure the Size of a Zipper?

Once you have found the number, the zipper sizing chart below will determine which size FixnZip replacement zipper slider is right for you.

Small: Sizes 1-4
Examples: pants, skirts, fine garments, pillows, clutch bags

Medium: Sizes 5-7
Examples: jackets, sleeping bags, tents, handbags, duffel bags, golf bags

Large: Sizes 8-10
Examples: wetsuits, boat covers, canvas tents, heavy clothing, jeep windows
