# Zippers can be opened and closed on Shabbat. <Ref> 39 Melachot (Rabbi Ribiat pg 818), Shemirat Shabbat KeHilchata 15:74 permit.

# Zippers can be opened and closed on Shabbat. <Ref> Shemirat Shabbat KeHilchata 15:74 (in the note quoting Rav Shlomo Zalman), Sh”t Betzel Chachma 3:92, 39 Melachos (Rabbi Ribiat, vol 3, pg 818), and The Shabbos Home (Rabbi Simcha Cohen, vol 1, pg 75) permit using a zipper on Shabbat. However, Sh”t Shevet HaLevi 3:51 is strict unless one plans on unzipping in a short period of time. Rav Shechter (quoted by [http://www.shaalvim.org/yeshiva/torah/view.asp?id=845 Rabbi Rosner] between minutes 37:30 and 38:30) is strict for this opinion and doesn’t zipper his Shabbat talit bag because of this.  </ref> However, some are strict not to zip the inner lining of a winter coat into the coat because it is meant to be there a long period of time. <ref>In footnote to 39 Melachos (melacha Tofer #18 he quotes Rav Yacov Kamenetsky who was strict regarding a winter coat which had a linig that was zipped in for a long period of time. [www.thehalacha.com%2Fattach%2FVolume3%2FIssue14.pdf Halachically Speaking] quotes Rav Yisrael Belsky who is also strict regarding zipping the inner lining of a winter coat because it is left there for a long period of time. </ref>
