Question...

Is camo worn more than other garments in the military over the entire time of a career?

Also, does this vary per branch?

Thank you to all who have/do serve.

More of less what I figured, but I thought maybe that percentage was just assumed.

My younger brother is a ARMY Green Beret and I've only ever seen him in his dress uniform three times. It is kind of neat that way, because when he does wear it, it is quite special.

Here's a little sneak peek of Davi Millsaps and Blake Baggett's setup... We made these from actual uniform material. these will be auctioned off on eBay the week following the race and all proceeds will go to support Patriots Honor, a 501c3 charity that specializes in helping wounded veterans return to the sports they love...

This should not be a one time thing. Great job by a company I've never heard of before.

Suzukis are as heavy as an Abrams. Will that do?

If they get some TV time I bet this will be the best publicity the company gets!
Digging it. They should sell these custom seats I know of a ton of military dudes that would buy em.

As a Marine, looking at those seats makes my pants get shorter. Well done to everyone at Seat Concepts!

I appreciate the love everybody! We would definitely be open to doing a limited run of these. Our production covers are very durable. We would have to do some testing to see if the uniform material we made these out of is tough enough for normal use. They're fine for a night of SX, but I think the general consumer would be bummed if the camo part wore out too quickly.

Looks like one of the Honda 450x based christini 2wd bikes, I think you can even buy the military spec bikes off the shelf. Not sure if they are legit Honda's or Chinese copies but I know they were using legit gas gas 300's before they went broke a few years ago
