Currently we have the waterproof zippers manufacturers from BDM YKK DYNAT OEB TIZIP and SZIP Waterproof zippers.

BDM,Dynat and OEB belong to YKK group,they are nearly monopolize drysuit zipper market.
TIZIP is a Germany made, only provides the TPU waterproof zippers for dry suits, dry bags and semi dry zippers etc,
SZIP is China company, manufatures the full range from water repellent zippers, airtight zippers, 100% waterproof zippers, high speed door zippers, fire resistant zippers etc

Looks like a copy of the YKK metal zippers and a blatant rip off of the TiZip even down to the zipper pull. Many drysuit manufacturers offer Tizip plastic zippers on their drysuits.

TIZIP can not be use for drysuit. ususally use for dry bag

I knew I remembered hearing this misinformation in the past, seems to be a thing with chinese zipper manufacturers. I also think that it's funny that you copy the TiZip masterseal 10 zipper and say that it can be used in drysuits but state that the Tizip can't.

Indeed. Mike will be most disappointed to learn that TiZips are not suitable for use as dry suit zippers (not).
