  • "Technically, we're a competitor. However, I love that someone else is disrupting zippers.In Evolve's defense:Pacemakers, credit cards, cell phones, etc. are made to NOT be affected by small magnets. They're generally not powerful enough thus demagnetization is extremely rare. You'd need the magnetic power of an MRI machine to have a great chance of demagnetization.Also, coercivity matters: https://www.mooreandgiles.com/blog/2015/04/28/faq-will-the-magnets-on-some-wallets-demagnetize-my-credit-card/ The worst:Won't pass ASTM D2061 standards for zipper tensile strength for use on clothing unless much larger and more powerful magnets are used.Magnets are expensive. Evolve's zipper is likely $20+.I think they could totally make millions selling to differently-abled people, Cosplay, costumes, pet attire, and dress up for kids though. No small parts, easy on and off, the price might not matter so much.It's safer for kids than current zippers. That's for sure."
