I saw some negative reviews from previous years on how the velcro in the front closure (ie in front of the zipper to close the windflap) ripped the sleeve fabrics. Then I saw a review somewhere that said that the writer called the Marmot company who told the writer that they changed the velcro to snaps this year to solve the problem. However, I saw the photo of the product on the Marmot website, which showed the coat unzipped, and guess what? There are velcro patches all the way down the front of the coat, as well as 2 snaps located on the neck and bottom hem! What does the most current coat from fall 2010 have? Velcros or snaps, or both, like I saw in Marmot website? Thanks!

I actually love the thick collar. It makes me know I am really protected in the cold. No matter what I'll stay warm! I have the one from winter 2010 and velcrow around the windflap to remove the hood it or keep it on. I like that feature.

My 2010 coat has snaps. It's much better. My complaint is the collar is thick & heavily padded. It is not pliable and does not fold down when not needed. It's also a fairly heavy coat but not a hanger breaker. And the fabric attracts fuzz. But the warmth & wind protection are wonderful.

Hello Anonymous, I bought the Chelsea down coat to my girl friend in Sweden and Guess what...NO Velcro. The European model does not have Velcro....might be to expensive to travel to Sweden......Cheers Clas
