The velcro on my Arc LS pouch just wore out after daily use since last year. I never was very pleased with the velcro's "hold ability" anyway but I liked using the pouch while at work. I decided after over 3 weeks of using my Arc 4 second that I preferred my LSH-S with twisty pack to use while working (still carry the Arc 4 when not working). I needed to fix the closure on my pouch now, so I decided to use a snap. See picture:
I just had to carefully cut the stitching for the velcro and trim as needed. A package of snaps with included punches came from wally world for under $3. There's still enough room to add a second snap above the current one so it can be closed properly over a clicky pack - but in my case the clicky pack is likely retired for good because of the Arc 4. The bad part - the Arc logo had to be covered over. Wish I could have figured out a way around that.
