Thats easy enough to add on. Buy some scrap OD or CADPAT material, cut it down to the size you need. Stitch on cat eyes, look the material round the foliage loop, stitch it together; an your done. |
Oh trust me...I have tried
I have an OD bushcap that I wear when I go out with my cadets. Last year, the cat eyes it had started to get old and actually broke in half. So I decided to find some new ones.
I looked in every fabric type of store you can imagine, and never found anything even remotely close to the glow in the dark properties of the actual cat eyes. All I ever found was reflective tape. The only place I could find the real deal, was in surplus stores, and it was all already sewn onto other bushcaps/boonies.
In the end, I ended up purchasing a small package of glow in the dark stars that you stick to your ceiling. I trimmed pieces of them down to size, took a hot needle and poked holes around the edge. I then sewed them onto my bushcap. It looks rather awkward, since the plastic is so thick, but it does the job just fine.
I am considering doing the same to my boonie.
