The Velro on ACU's is perfect for the office warrior, but is absolutely useless for people in the field.
It sticks to things it isn't supposed to causing a constant distraction, does not secure pockets well (try walking around with a grenade in your cargo pocket, there is no way to keep it closed on the ACU), wears out quickly and is generally a mute point as SOF Units don't wear it on missions and Conventional Units have to wear all their patches anyways (so why have velcro?).
