Well, Leonard Duffy managed to come up with “slidingly engaging fasteners” which consists of an interlocking grid of triangular and hexagonal pieces of flexible plastic that not only lasts longer, it can hold up to eight times more.
Further, traditional velcro gradually
loses it’s velcro-ness with extended use, but the “slidingly engaging fasteners” lasts much longer, Other advantages include the fact that it won’t snag other materials such as your clothing, and it adheres silently making it a perfect choice for stealthy covert agents, snipers, Rainbox 6 shooters, etc.As for the technical name which doesn't nearly roll of the tongue like 'Velco', no, he’s not going to change the name to something catchy - it’s "slidingly engaging fasteners", damn it!
