Sorry, but no thanks. |

Sorry, but no thanks. My first thought as well. The magnets don't have a big enough mass to disrupt the field unless you mean a button compass. I'm sure it's not for all folks, I personally don't mind velcro, it sounds like I'm reloading freedom.

Cool idea... But i agree on not really wanting magnets sitting against my compass/GPS/Phone/etc.
Back to topic...I'm still surprised there aren't companies making these. I may need to just convert some BDU style uniforms or maybe make a button conversion similar to that magnet one. |

Don't be so sure of that. A guy on here did a test a while back, using the retention mags in one of his belt-mounted mag pouches and a compass. The magnets in the pouch, worn in the usual spot had an appreciable effect on the compass when the compass was hand-held in the normal position. |

Contact Crye directly, they have made many custom pieces for me and a unit I was in. I may even still have a POC there if you need it.
Honestly I hate their off the shelf stuff, had nothing but bad luck with it, but their custom uniforms have always been well-done. |

D6T,
I appreciate the offer and idea. I have no problem paying for quality, but that being said...I can only imagine how much that would cost. A button conversion to my current sets would be pretty simple I think. Step one is me buying a damn sewing machine.... |
