An Under Armour thank you

Zippers are not impossible with an upper limb difference, but it can be something that takes a little extra time. Jordan learned how to zip at Camp No Limits many years ago. But when Under Armour announced last year it was producing MagZip clothing for the 2014 fall season, I couldn’t wait. When I noticed a few items for sale earlier this month, I jumped and purchased a boy’s jacket because it really doesn’t matter and the MagZip is more important than the color. I snagged a grey jacket for Miss Jordan.

I posted Jordan trying a MagZip for the first time earlier this week and Under Armour noticed. A member of UA’s youth marketing team reached out and offered to share a few other examples of Under Armour’s MagZip wear. The arrived today and Jordan loves them.
How cool is that?

Even better? Jordan is mastering the art of the MagZip.


By her third jacket, she was really rocking the MagZip. I feel really lucky to have been given the chance to talk to Under Armour about the impact this zipper has on people with zipping challenges. I know Jordan considers it a thrill.

      Tricia – I go out of my way to buy coats and jackets with non-sticky zippers. The MagZip erases all the time I spend in stores testing zippers. This is so cool.
