MagZip
A magnetic zipper that helps people with limited mobility get dressed
Originally conceived to aid people with limited mobility in their hands, the Magzip is a simple yet ingenious advancement in zipper technology. Magnets and special self-aligning geometry allow the zipper base to snap together on its own, making it simple to zip with just one hand. The technology is now licensed to and used by UnderArmor.
