The Zipper Band gets it name from how easy it is to untie in an emergency. Just entie the knot or cut it off, slip one of the ends through the locking loop and then pull both ends and just like a zipper the entire band pulls apart down to the loop. This band looks great and provides cord in a hurry. On average the Zipper has 6 to 8 feet of paracord. Even though it comes apart quickly and easily it only comes apart when you want it to. The diamond knot keeps everything secure until you need the cord.
The cord used in all of our Bands is high quality, durable (450 to 550 pound test) and great in an emergency. When an emergency situation comes up you simple unravel the band and make use of the cord available. If you use your band in an emergency situation, just send us whats left of your band along with your experience and we will make you a new one (shipping charges apply).
To receive the correct size band, pick your WRIST size from the drop down menu. Please privde us with your actual wrist measurement. To measure, use a string to wrap around your wrist and then measure the string. Make sure the string is making contact with our skin all the way around your wrist and that the string is not tight or digging into your skin. Let us know this exact size. If you are in between sizes, pick the larger size. If your Band is to large when you receive it, you can shrink it down. Soak it in a sink a couple of times. Get it completely soaked and let it dry. Within a couple of days, it will shrink down by approximately 1/4".
Please keep in mind that the average wrist size for a male is 7" - 8", and average female wrist size is 6" - 7". If you are above or below these sizes, please double check your wrist measurement to confirm the size.
