A water-tight slide fastener (10) is disclosed, which comprises a pair of support tapes (11) each coated on one surface with a water-resistant material (15) and a row of coupling elements (12) mounted on each of the tapes (11) along its longitudinal edge, the spaces or gaps (17) defined in the row of elements (12) being completely filled by a filling core (16) when the latter swells in contact with a liquid to prevent entry of the liquid into a garment to which the fastener (10) is applied. |
