Magnetic closure for sport and outdoor

Market

Magnetic closure for sport and outdoor, reliable in extreme use.

A closure designed for technical layers, wide movements, cold, moisture and fast handling in outdoor conditions.

Key constraint
Staying usable in the cold, with gloves, moisture, layered textiles and wide movements.
The problem
Zips, hook-and-loop and snaps often demand a precise gesture or create visible ridges.
Systemmag’s answer
An integrated magnetic closure, calibrated hold and a deliberate opening suited to athletic movement.

What the conditions demand

4 key constraints

01

Use in motion

The closure follows the gesture without hindering posture or range of motion.

02

Weather resistance

Cold, snow, moisture and rubbing are factored in from the design stage.

03

Access with gloves

More natural opening and closing when gesture precision drops.

04

Low profile

An integrated system that preserves the line and limits ridges.

Integration

Which format for your technical layers?

Jacket, cuff, pocket, chin strap: depending on the gesture, cold and moisture, we settle on the most tolerant format before the prototype.

01

Magnetic strips

For linear, adjustable closures that are easy to test on a prototype.

02

Magnetic zips

Ready to sew in, in side (ZIP C) or centred (ZIP G) geometry, for openings that must stay discreet.

Technical scoping, integration drawing and adaptation to your product's constraints.

Scope my integration

Designed for movement and cold.

When zips, hook-and-loop and snaps demand a precise gesture, the magnetic closure closes on simple approach, even with gloves, even mid-effort.

Lighter

No rigid parts or visible metal elements.

Quieter

Opening and closing without stray noise.

Snag-free

No hooks that catch fabric or fibres.

Resistant

Designed for usage cycles and material constraints.

Durable

Built to stay reliable after product qualification.
