Thank you!

My current everyday pouch has coil zips because I simply could not find a pouch with the other qualities that I'm looking for, that had an actual solid zipper. And I've had so many of these coil loop zippers fail over the years that I actually considered replacing the zippers before even using the pouch daily. Surely I'm not the only person so pedantic about the quality of their equipment.

Depending on the failure you can get kits to fix it.

I've sewn in new zippers in the past. My last one was such a great pouch, I've actually saved it and might replace the zipper after my current pouch is worn through.

We'll see in a few years!

I like Vislon as well, but each has its strengths:

> That said, Nylon Coil zippers are “self-healing,” meaning when the zipper accidently opens or closes incorrectly and skips a tooth, these misalignments are easily correctable by merely zipping the slider over the problematic area. On the contrary, misalignments on a Molded zipper usually indicates or results in a damaged tooth, which oftentimes renders the entire zipper inoperable and requires a full zipper replacement. (1)

Like HDD vs. SSD failure, the latter can be sudden.
