I guess that's just my big gripe. There seems to be this drive to get rid of buttons on everything, and replace them with velcro/zippers. Each of which have big problems: velcro is noisy, opens when caught on something, becomes dirty/fouled with dirt/loose threads/foliage, and eventually wears out. Zippers, if they're metal, heat up and can burn; if they're plastic, break; either kind, very difficult to fix in the field.
