    It is a zipper Dutch came up with as far as I know.
    Here is a thread on it.....http://www.hammockforums.net/forum/s...Vision-Zippers
    Shug

    From Kickstarter:

    The Patent Pending vision zipper is a toothed, rather than coiled, zipper for ease of use and strength. The vision zipper is the key to this hammock and why the Chameleon outperforms every other hammock on the market today. Our zipper is the first one of its kind and starts with a toothed zipper such as you will find on high end jackets versus a weaker coil zipper. There are two zipper pulls that can be positioned at any place for easy access. The zippers are opposing so they open in between and most importantly you don’t have to reach to the top of the hammock to open it. Furthermore, the vision zipper can be flipped over and reversed, this enables you to flip the top cover or bugnet over or around so you can lay in any direction. We made each Chameleon with two of these specialized zippers so you can enter/exit the hammock from both sides and you can reach out to adjust your underquilt easily from inside the hammock. Lastly, since the zippers are separating, you can go with any top to save weight, add a top cover or bugnet in the same zipper track and only have to carry what is needed on your adventure. This is how your Chameleon changes to your environment.

    It is a #3 zipper with a special toothed design that allows it to flip over and reverse.

    Are the two way zippers on the site the same as what's on the chameleon? They look different I think I might have ordered the wrong ones...

    The ones currently on the site are the NON-vision two way separating zippers. The new ones aren't up just yet.
