Do you recommend the zipper or clasps?

I have the one with the zipper and the clasps. Zipper up the side is not bad. Clasps at the crotch are very uncomfortable.

Yes, there is a small tab with Velcro to help secure the zipper. Although it is not full-proof, I have had no trouble with it in the last couple years and the zipper has not moved even a little bit. So far so good.

It's metal, I think. It is as strurdy as any zipper, if that is your concern. It's really smooth to zip and unzip.

I think the zippers will be fine if they are not abused by exceeding the load capacity of the bag if you take care of it this bag should last quite a while the zippers on this bag aren't the biggest I have seen when you open them pull the zipper tab not the pulls it puts less stress on the zippers.

I believe they are to help you pull the zipper tight. I did not find them necessary.

Hi, the jackets' hood has a zipper around the neck..so would have to undo for a drink. For me, as I am short and wide...the extra head material for the size I need can get in the way a bit but (scroll down) it is worth it for me....as I deal with with the issue of WI state insect ..mosquito...having a party in my garden with the no see ums. It keeps both out and I am able to garden. :)

If you follow the directions then it slips on easier..the zipper closure is a bit easier to get into but I wouldn't say its that much of a difference..I do like the zipper closer because you can adjust the fit of the girdle (looser/tighter) therefore you would get more use out of it and are able to use it longer compared to the regular girdle..I have both and enjoyed using both but if you only want to get one and are able to spend a little more, get the zipper closure, but if you're on a budget the regular slip on is just as good in my opinion..hope this helps..

I think it goes on quite easy. Once in a while I have trouble with getting the back all the way up, but just takes practice. I wouldn't do the zipper myself. Where the zipper is is a weak point. It will wear out sooner. Plus have you ever been putting something tight on with a zipper, and zipped up skin. Ouch. I really like the non zipper one and found it easier to put on than I expected.

Yes, it is a tight fit. It zips shut and the whip tie locks the zipper shut. You never take it off.

There are two zippers. One on the large portion and the other on the front pouch.

Deep. I would suggest some fitted sheet holders, sometimes called snug straps or garters. even with the deep pocket fitted sheet the corners sometimes do get loose.

I have not had any trouble with the zippers. I did find however that I had to zip & unzip them several times before using. After that they worked just fine.

There is a back pocket that is very useful. I use it all the time, instead of opening the zipper constantly. Hope this helps.

They both have zippers. Very good quality. My 90 year old father had very bad edema. We used it for 1 hour (40 pressure) per day for ten days and his edema subsided. His doctor was amazed! We now only use as needed. Excellent product.

I have one of these, I got it a few months ago when I moved from Georgia to PA with my then kitten. I have used it several time since then when family cat-sits for me. I have had no problems with the zipper, I don't know what the problem with it could even be, I have been very happy with it and have recommended it to friends and family.

My zipper works just fine, so I think it's every individual quality differences. The fabric for me, I think it's all rit. But overall, if I had other options, this won't be my first choice.

A zipper would be nice, but because the belly bands fit nice and tight I would wonder if a zipper would break over and over.
