Talon Drysuit Zipper - Good or Bad?

[realdiver7]

Is the Talon medium duty front entry diagonal drysuit zipper a good one or not so good? I've seen one installed by a dive shop on a DUI CF200 as a replacement zipper and wonder how they compare to YKK, BDM or others.

Any comments and especially first-hand knowledge would be helpful.

Thanks!

Hi RealDiver7,

Good question. Most people are not aware that all drysuit zippers are supplied by one manufacture and sold under various names. So a Talon zipper is essentially the same as a YKK, BDM and so forth.

Hope this helps.
