I love our Hautes, I use mainly the snaps but they have a lower weight limit but DD has velcro all figured out. They are a lot trimmer but I generally only use the big insert. They are breathable pockets too which I am finding excellent this summer but they can feel damp even though they aren't leaking, it's quite strange at first but once you get used to it isn't a problem. They don't leave wet marks or anything just feel damp from the water vapour evapourating
