Three Key Functions and Ease of Operation of QuickFree® click-TRAK® Magnetic
QuickFree® click-TRAK® Magnetic features magnets embedded in the left and right open parts, allowing them to automatically attract each other through magnetic force*2. In addition, users can easily remove the garment simply by pulling the zipper chain apart from either side without lowering the slider*3. The product also features a release function in which the slider disengages when a certain amount of force is applied to either side, automatically opening the zipper*4.
