zip-up

Seal your jacket

A zip-up is a garment that fastens with a zipper, typically running up the front: She grabbed her zip-up and headed out.

As an adjective, it describes anything designed to close this way: zip-up boots, zip-up hoodie.

The term distinguishes from pullovers and button-front alternatives.
