And in the more things change caeogry...this is exactly why we preferred buttons on our field uniforms vice zippers, velcro, etc. - they worked; they were cheap; they were easily repaired at the user level; they stood up to moisture, sun, cold, heat, mud, sand, etc.; and they didn't make that 'Ziiiiipppp' or 'Riiiiiipppp' sound which can be heard a long ways off by anyone looking to avoid or find you.

And so it goes...
