Any chance of the Boonie RAT (
oh snap!) having Velcro fields on the back?
One of the modifications that I do to my boonies is add Velcro fields to the back. This allows for the easy affixing and removal of cat/ranger eyes. I have come to appreciate these when on night hikes or when moving to a hunting spot with a buddy before first light.
I used to just sew the cat eyes on but with the Velcro it is nice to be able to remove them. Also, since I cut my "cat eyes" into bar shapes, the Velcro lets me configure it in specific patterns so not only can I see someone in front of me, they can have a unique pattern, so I know
who is in front of me. For example, someone may have the bars vertically, another person in my hunting party may have their bars horizontally, etc. I know a large portion of the RAT market are military and LEO. They may find these features useful.
I also sometimes add Velcro to the under side of the brim in the front. Then by adding Velcro to a keychain style light like the LRI Photon, I can make an improvised head light for hands free use.
