Coil zippers (not the waterproof kind) seem to have a side where the coils show and "protrude" out and another side where the zipper fabric covers most of the zipper coils so the zipper is kind of hidden.
Is there a prefered orientation for which side is on the outside and which on the inside? I'm taking a look at various gear items and clothing that use coil zippers and some have the visible side out and others have the hidden side out.
Wondering what the pros/cons of both methods are. Also, does the slider care which side of the zipper the slider tab is on? From what I can gather a double zipper with two tabs needs to be installed in a certain orientation but what about a single slider?
Thanks!
