"[The fabric fastener] gets dusty or dirty and it doesn’t work anymore. You can’t keep your sleeves or collar down and it’s not tactical. If you have to adjust something during a mission it makes a loud noise," he said.
The ACU's are crap. They wear out too soon, look dirty, and all that velcro is a throw-back to the 90's. Buttons have always been better closures in a field uniform.
Agreed. The darn velcro is always reclosing and needing reopening at the most inconvenient times. Hard to do with one hand while it is holding something to put in the pocket.
