What to do with those velcro squares on top of range hats

[TRaTSeRiF]

Figured I'd ask in this forum since this seems to be the right breeding ground for morale-patch aficionados Got my hands on a couple of range hats (Team Canada from OST and one from Diemaco) and they both have small velcro squares on top instead of buttons. I haven't seen any morale patches that small. I'm just curious what you guys actually put there. Thanks for the 411, guys

IFF Square. (Identifier, Friend, Foe). Small tab of black IR material. YOu should see it at night, like little fireflies bouncing around. They are available from several places in the US if you want look like you operate! They can also useful if you are lost in the woods as SAR helos all have IR.

its main purpose is to prevent teh button from being in the way of your ear defenders.

They match up with the squares you can stick on 2 ft pieces of tinfoil. Always handy.

Ranger Eyes are sized perfectly for those.

My ranger hoodie comes with two patches like that on the back of the hood.

As mentioned......

To add IFF squares and to replace the button so your head doesn't hurt when wearing ear pro.

Does it look like this ?
This is my Range Officer hat.

Thanks guys. Just figured a piece of velcro would look silly on its own, but I certainly don't operate, so no need to get one'a'dem squares

Just leave it empty then and enjoy a pain free head when wearing ear pro

Thanks.. With that being said I never had comfort issues with the muffs that I've used on regular button-topped ballcaps, but I love the styling on yours.. Couldn't resist when somebody posted a link on one of the IRC gun channels

I feel like I need to source one of those propellers for my range hat now.

I thought those patches were there to pi## you off when they stuck to your cars headliner.
