[quote=FloridaRoadie]The last two mesh tramps, I purchased I had them add twist fasteners to the pockets, instead of Velcro or a zipper.  One of those tramps is 6 years old and not a single problem with the twist fasteners.  The pockets on the tramps I had made have a flap so small items are not able to slide out between the fasteners
I do not have access to a photo of one of the tramp pockets right now, so the photo is of twisted fastener looks like.

When I had the first one made I was talking to the person on the phone and I kept calling it a beaver tail snap.  He had no idea what I was talking about so emailed him a photo of an old beaver tail wetsuit.  He then informed me of its correct name. 
The reason I decided to try twisted fasteners was, I have seen a number of zipper pockets that over time have failed to work and Velcro that no longer hold the pocket closed.[/quote]
