How to Attach Your ZippyBack™

A short, instructional video showing exactly how to snap ZippyBack™ onto your cap—securely and correctly, the first time.

How the Snap System Works

A simple three-step process designed for quick attachment and easy removal.

Step 1 — Align

Hold the ZippyBack™ behind your cap, centered above the back opening.

The snap system naturally aligns with standard baseball caps.

Step 2 — Snap

Press firmly until it clicks.

No tools. No twisting. No force.

Step 3 — Wear

Once attached, ZippyBack™ sits flush and stays secure during everyday wear.

Lightweight. Balanced. Comfortable.

The ZippyBack™ Rafters Series 1 Set features eight illustrated hockey jersey nameplates, each with names and numbers of legendary players in iconic team colors—a limited-edition collector’s item.

Wear It — or Collect It

ZippyBack™ is designed as a wearable collectible.

It can be snapped onto a baseball cap and worn as intended, or kept in its original packaging as part of a hockey or sports memorabilia collection.

While the snap system allows removal, ZippyBack™ is not designed for frequent attaching and detaching. It's best to either:

  • Wear it and keep it on the cap
  • Collect it and preserve it as memorabilia

ZippyBack™ is built to respect long-term wear and long-term collectibility — without compromising either.
