I'm posting in fieldcraft because this is for my next ghillie suit. I'm going to be implementing mesh ventilation in the armpit areas and I want to add a zipper so I can have them open for summer or closed for winter. The set up will be similar to the vent system on the Army pt jacket.

I want to use the same Vislon-type YKK zippers that are used on ACUs and Multicams. If anyone knows where to buy the same zippers from, please let me know. I need two 10" closed end zippers.
 
I know for a fact that it isn't a number 10 or #10. That's the big load bearing one that's used on the Eagle Industries HRSC. It's about twice the size, so I would guessitmate, that based on the size you would be looking for a #5 or #6.

Here is their homepage....

If they can't help, then send me a PM. I have some ACUs still.
