M-Tac Cat Eyes Laser-Cut Patch, Coyote/Green/GID

CAT EYES LASER CUT PATCH Coyote/Green/GID The Cat Eyes Laser Cut patch—a light-accumulating patch, also known as a “morale patch”—attaches to a baseball cap or backpack via a Velcro strip, (the corresponding Velcro strip is sewn onto the back of the patch itself). The design is made of light-accumulating material that glows in the dark. Dimensions: 80 x 25 mm. Includes: Velcro for attachment. Material: Cordura 500D. Thanks to its unique properties, Cordura is widely used in tactical gear for the military, law enforcement, and special operations forces. Generally, these are materials with a linear density of 1000d and 500d. Linear density is the ratio of a fabric thread’s mass to its length. It is measured in denier (den). This unit of measurement is generally used for nylon products. Accordingly, the higher this value, the denser and heavier the fabric. The physical and technical properties of CORDURA 1000D fabric are very high; its tensile strength is approximately 3,000 N, and its tear strength is approximately 150 N. Its abrasion resistance exceeds 50,000 cycles. It is used for clothing, covers, and pouches—whether it’s a tactical backpack, pouches, or a jacket. Products made from CORDURA materials will undoubtedly stand the test of time and distance. CORDURA stands for durability, reliability, and style. In terms of strength, it is unrivaled. The tradition of wearing patches on uniforms in the military dates back to time immemorial. Over time, in addition to information about the soldier, branch of service, and so on, insignia began to represent various commemorative events, slogans, and life categories that boosted the morale of soldiers during the hardships of military life. A little later, patches (chevrons, emblems) made their way into civilian life and began to convey virtually any kind of information. The Cat Eyes Laser Cut patch from the Ukrainian brand M-TAC represents a fusion of military traditions and civilian fashion. The patch is available in several color combinations: multicam, coyote, ranger green, or black. M-TAC, a Ukrainian company that has been producing military, tactical, and outdoor gear since 2014, offers a wide range of patches. High-quality craftsmanship and materials, original design, and modern production technologies—these are what set M-TAC patches apart from the rest. The “Cat Eyes” patch gets its name from the ability of felines to see in the dark and navigate perfectly at night. Originally, the “Cat Eyes” consisted of two small rectangles of light-storing fabric sewn onto an elastic band. The elastic band was attached to a helmet; the two rectangles, facing backward, glowed in the dark, allowing soldiers walking behind to distinguish “their own.” Consequently, the likelihood of “friendly fire”—being shot by one’s own troops in the dark—was significantly reduced. Building on this military design, M-TAC refined the “classic” cat eyes, turning them into literal eyes. The patch is a narrow rectangle measuring 8 x 2.5 cm, made of 500D Cordura fabric, featuring two cat’s eyes.
