The Maxpedition PVC Morale Patches are made from high quality PVC rubber and feature hook-&-loop backing that is permanently stitched to the patch. PVC is a desireable material for patches because it won't rot, or fade like embroidered patches will, it is also not fray when cut, which allows it to handle more abuse than a standard embroidered patch. The Happy Face Patch is a symbol of happiness and goodwill. Wish everyone a nice day with this Happy Face morale patch.
