Long ago i had a lovely green jacket with one of these two way zippers. i pulled it over my head every time I wore it.
i tried to unzip the rain jacket but didn't seem to be able to. anyone???
You need to make sure that both zipper pulls are together at the bottom when you want to take the zipper apart. Sometimes they are a little tricky to undo. Then when you want to put it back together again, the two pulls have to be at the bottom as well. Its handy to have a two way zipper if you have a long coat or jacket. Partially unzip the zipper when you get in the car and you won't have the coat in your way as you are driving. Also, like someone else said, you can unzip from the bottom when you want to reach an inside pocket of your slacks or something.
