Interesting, but watch out if you are using a magnetic compass of any kind.
Am also interested as to whether a having the magnetic closures on pouches/pockets would mess up a magnetic compass’ accuracy?
Genius! Slank and team, congrats.
Congrats! This product looks great along with the other products on your website. I’m going to use it on everything I own that has Velcro! What an ingenious idea! Can’t wait to try it out!
Genius. This is one of those “why didn’t I think of that” inventions. I need some of those for hunting and tactical training. Silent Velcro.
Industry landmark! Silent Velcro? Genius indeed.
