I just traded a few things that resulted in me being able to get a Tactical Tailor "Trauma Pack" in multicam. I love almost everything about the pack! I am kitting it out to be a sort of "adventure pack" with essentials for hiking/biking, an extended ride on the motorcycle, or even something as simple as spending the day at the zoo with the niece. It's got room and organization for some assorted small tools, repair items like tape, zip-ties, 550 cord, etc, first aid, water, food, a change of clothes, flashlights, batteries, knives, writing utensils, and I snagged a couple of Otterbox dry boxes for phones and batteries and such in case of inclement weather.
But the one thing it does not have room for is patches.
It has the one ID panel, but to be honest I have 2 American flags and a Gadsden flag shoved in it in order to make the flag patch shown be snug. If it was alone it fits so loose I'm worried it would fall out!
So I'm thinking of putting a thread puller to the ID panel and removing it and replacing it with a big chunk of Velcro. Problem is that the back panel of the compartments have a really thick pad inside of the fabric, and on the inside of the compartment is a mesh pouch, so all together that means that sewing is going to be a total pain in the rear as well as in the fingers!
Does anyone recommend an adhesive product that is easy to use and durable? My last experience with iron on patches and Cordura nylon was far less than stellar, seems the patches don't survive very long and leave behind a whole ton of crap when they do fall off. I would like for the panel to be permanent. Doesn't have to be very flexible, the aforementioned padding in the compartment keeps it semi-rigid. Does have to be waterproof, though.
