Good points.
Funny thing about multicam, it looks more tan in direct sunlight, so the OD velcro stands out more, but under low light, tan velcro would stand out just as much since the colours change to more a greenish-grey colour. Just can't win I guess (unless multicam velcro? How about medium grey?)
Should add that ALL the pocket zippers zip down to close. Recall your saying that you asked why and the reply was that, then you said "Pfft! Like I'LL ever be caught crawling!!" So caution when crawling backwards, the zippers might open up.
Pockets galore, no kidding! After the game Saturday night, riding with Ches, I started digging through my pockets (BDUs and smock) looking for one of the two packs of gum I had on me, going through everything. Didn't find the gum until after I got home, in one of the pockets I checked. Sheesh, spacious or what? Pocket had folder over in the car and I only checked the top half.
