I agree WW - its easier zipping the last little bit if right handed with a left side zipper

You also need to ask, locking or non-locking?
Non-locking means if you've gotta jump out and go to the "lou",you can push against the zip and it will open. The down side is that they may open when you dont want it to. Locking zips wont open accidently, but can be a bugger to try to open in a rush.
