Plastic or metal zipper? I need a plastic one to hold up better against ocean spray (saltwater) while on a boat..

The zipper itself is plastic but the pull is metal. We bout two different styles from this brand and they both held up great as we hiked in Peru.

The zippers on my pack are plastic. The pulls have a metallic look, and could be either plastic or perhaps aluminum. I put a magnet on them and it did not attract.

It is a heavy vinyl material. I've used it on two trips and have been satisfied with it. The cover/lid has a flap that folds down to cover the zipper. I feel comfortable saying it is waterproof and that you would have other bigger problems if something did end up wet!

it is a metal zipper, and it zips great, have had no problems with it at all, great stroller.

The zipper I believe is metal...My son works on skyscrapers. He is an electrician and so he does not have the comfort of being indoors all the time. His job is to run wires and such--through exposed walls and such...He told me this jacket makes it possible for him to withstand the wind, and the frigid winters of NY. I only wish I found it years ago for him.

This is a great cover. I bought one last year and got another this year for a 2nd golf cart. Our Golf Carts are located near the Chesapeake and that has very little salt in the water so I cannot say for sure how the zipper will hold up. Sorry I could not be of more help.

Do you mean a metal zipper like those on jeans? Then no, it is a nylon, light metal or plastic zipper zipper.

Buy one without a zipper. Depends on head size but they all stretch. Make sure you can pull it over ur mouth during really cold temps. IMHO

Thanks anyway. I found the item at West Marine and was not inclined to use. (Not heavy enough for me) I'm going to fiberglass and reuse the bronze/brass fitting that came with boat which is in perfect condition.

Plastic. The problem with this contraption is the wire mesh. It just does not provide a good seal. I've tried everything to try to create a better seal, but nothing really works

the Zipper part is metal, the 'teeth' along the bag look to be hard plastic. it seems like a sturdy zipper overall.

The zipper is a glorified ziplock slider. It's on the outside of the curtain, so it stays pretty dry inside regardless. I dont see any way to prevent breakage. My bigger concern was that my speakers stopped working after a month.

Plastic, and it's actually pretty sturdy plastic. There are some metal parts, but overall mostly plastic. Biggest drawback? The sound. The drag is louder than any sea-rod I've ever heard, and it echoes like no one's business.

The zipper is made of plastic. It works effortlessly and appears to be of solid construction. The bag itself is of heavy construction and I would recommend its purchase.

I got the second one with the interior zipper pocket. Overall the product is fine, but the zipper is plastic and mine has a bad spot on the main zipper that it always hangs on...that's annoying.

Definitely buy a right zip and a left zip. The 'hood' would be the wrong way if you didn't!

The outer material is water resistant. I just tested it and water ran right off while pouring from a cup. However, the zipper cloth is not. Dripping water on the zipper, it soaks the water in. There are flaps inside the zipper, but the water soaks into that inner material. With "enough" water on that area, your stuff will get wet. There is no outer protective flap over the zipper. If you were going from a parking lot to a building in the rain, I'd say you're fine. If you were hiking for more than a minute in anything more than a steady rain, your stuff could get a bit wet. Scotch guarding the zipper cloth could be an option, but I don't know if that would do much since the zippers are so exposed. Good luck.
