really we should be using silent velcro by now but the US military wont let us.
95 percent of the world is not under US military jurisdiction and many countries probably have similar or better tech.
Comment on I'm surprised more rain jackets don't have Ziploc-style pockets that can be sealed shut

ziplock style requires you to pinch both sides to close. it also requires you to pull both sides to open. on wearables the fabric isnt easily pinchable from both sides, you would be forced to smear it hard against your soft supple flesh to close it. a wearable pocket shouldnt require two hands to open/close because your other hand is usually occupied with the item worth storing, etc.

They make zipper-style ziplocs with sliders, no need for pinching or stretching.

Just a note for the Velcro; I ran across the video ages ago and found it really helps with keeping that ripping noise from being too audible

I knew what this video would be, but I still rewatched it anyway.
