sot-patchesSource One Tactical, the “private label” for S.O.D. (Source One Distributors) has developed an alternative to needle-and-thread or duct-tape repairs to rips and tears in your uniform.

The Armed Forces Uniform Repair Kit gives you a variety of patches from 3 x 3″ to 5 x 7″. Place the patch over the hole, rub with the back of a spoon (or a rock, or the MRE “something”) and 45 seconds later you are ready to move on. The patch is ready to be washed 24 hours later.

The fabric is flame resistant and can be used on NOMEX, NYCO and DEFENDER M, and comes in ABU, MARPAT and ACU.

Oh yeah – they have seat patches as well. Thank goodness.
