Boring Post: That'll Teach You To Keep Coming Unvelcroed

That's right, "Velcro" is a verb now.

I was on a three day adventure ride this week. These fuckers kept wanting to come undone, but firmly stick themselves to the lining on the inside of my sleeves instead. This is deeply irritating.

Pretty nifty solution. As a bonus you could snap them together so they stay paired when not being worn.

- That's a good point. I didn't even think of that.
  
  As an added bonus, installation involved bashing them with a hammer. It was quite cathartic.

- Hmm.. maybe some snaps in a different spot, turn the jacket into a backpack? Like for your helmet at least?

  My jacket is an Alpinestars Halo. You can kinda-sorta already do that by hooking the sleeve cinches together, and with the weird kangaroo pouches both front and rear you could probably carry a significant amount of stuff in it.
  
  You'd look like a berk doing it, though.
