Hey Nate!

The snap versions have an off center design to the snap. In other words,
based on the temperature you can flip over the snaps to make the cover
tighter/looser. It works really well. I've taken off and put it back on
every Christmas after getting our tree, sometimes as low as 10 degrees. You
can also lower the supports to help with the shrinking material.

HTH!

I like the j-hook look... but I wondered how easy it was to put on. Is this
a feature of the j-hook setup, or do the snap versions have the same
problems in the less than 50 degree temps?
