agreed, except how would you ever get mud in the velcro unless you take them off? we have some muddy, gunky caves here in AR and that's the one thing about my Bombers i haven't had a problem with =)

For that matter, I haven't really had any problems with mudding up the velcro on my Meander suit either. I like velcro. I guess if it did get too gummed up, I'd just have to use a little water and rub/wash it off.
