Camouflage Wrap Useful in Combat

Edited by Robert H. Williams

Camo Form, made by McNett Corp., of Bellingham, Wash., is a self-clinging camouflage wrap that can be used to disguise almost anything, said a company vice president, Tanya Brooks. “You can wrap it around all kinds of stuff — weapons, scopes, binoculars, flashlights knife handles and sheaths, ammunition clips, you name it.”

The wrap conceals, insulates against heat and sound, reduces glare and increases grip, she said. It contains no adhesive, so it sticks to itself and not to the gear. It comes in the new Army and Marine digital camouflage patterns, as well as the standard woodland and desert patterns.
