This is my official "I HATE VELCRO" thread.
I HATE the way it sticks to itself when you least want it too.
I HATE how it collects mud, twigs, fur, hair, polar fleece.
I HATE how it freezes up with ice and snow.
I HATE how it comes apart when you least want it to.
I HATE how hard it is to line up and seal in, eg tarp vestibules.
I HATE how it ends up on almost every piece of backpakcing gear ever produced.
I actually had a gear manufacturer try to tell me that fabrics that stick to Velcro are poorly designed, in other words all fleece, wool, synthetic knits, etc… are poorly designed fabrics because they don't work well with Velcro. That one took the cake…
Any other haters or defenders of Velcro???
