agree  Cilian O'Tuama: could be, depends on what they understand by klettband, both sides (hook and loop) or just one (hook or loop)? If the latter, then Gegenmaterial could be the other (loop or hook). I know exactly what I'm trying to say ;-)

neutral  Cilian O'Tuama: excuse me, but a (Swiss) google hit with both terms hardly classifies as proof (=100% confidence)!
