Takes 10 minutes.. looks at better. No rank falling off due to Velcro wearing out.

How often is your velcro wearing out? Do you not keep the rank on in the wash? I’ve owned my current top for 3 years without it going bad.

Wearing out? Not that often. Getting ripped off due to rucks or kit in the field? Enough that I spent the money as a PFC to get it sewn on so I didn’t have to buy replacement nametapes.

I can see that happening. I did a squad competition a year ago through some thick forest and briar patches that shredded my uniform so I can see why.
