zip-up jacket

Closure-front layer piece

A zip-up jacket is a jacket that closes with a zipper rather than buttons, snaps, or an open front.

The term distinguishes it from pullovers and button-front styles: She grabbed her zip-up jacket on the way out.

Often shortened to just "zip-up" when context is clear.
