In last article we talked about the most 5 popular shell fabrics are used for cooler bags. Actually to make the cooler bags functional and unique, except the outer fabric, there are lots of accessories used on cooler bags, like zippers, webbing, buckles, Velcro, buttons and etc. Today let’s take a look of zippers.

 

To ensure cooler bags can be opened and closed freely, the zippers are needed. Normally the zippers are used at top opening, front pockets, side pockets and inside pockets.

Nylon zippers are used more often than the other two, metal zippers look high-end and are much more expensive.

For zipper tape color, most of the time it’s matching with the main fabric of cooler bags, but sometimes we use contrast color too, it makes the bags more special.

Except the normal zippers, there are also invisible zippers, which often used at inside pockets and some special outer pockets.

There are also special functional zippers such as waterproof zippers, with it the cooler bag can keep items inside warm or cool for a longer time.
