Why are military vests woven from many ribbons?

Nowadays, there are many ribbons on mainstream military vests. Why are there so many ribbons?

We know that the ribbons on military vests are usually composed of cloth strips of different colors and patterns, which are sewn on the vest in an orderly manner to form the overall appearance design of the vest.

The use of many ribbons on military vests abandons the traditional design style and plays a certain decorative role, making the overall appearance of the military vest look more flexible and fashionable. The color, pattern and style of the ribbon can be personalized according to personal preferences and the requirements of the troops, so as to highlight the identity of personal characteristics and the collective image of the team, which helps to improve the morale and cohesion of soldiers.

However, the application of ribbons on military vests, in addition to catering to the decorative function of fashion design, camouflage and concealment are its most critical core functions.

The implantation and application of military camouflage ribbons on vests can simulate vegetation or other objects in the natural environment, so that soldiers can better integrate into the surrounding environment on the battlefield, camouflage vegetation, branches, grass leaves and other natural objects, thereby reducing the possibility of being discovered by the enemy and better enhancing the camouflage effect of soldiers.

The design of military vests in various countries around the world can change and adjust camouflage objects at any time according to the needs of their own military missions and different terrains and seasons to adapt to different combat environments, reflecting the functional value of military vest webbing.

In addition, the application of webbing on military vests can also be used to fix and carry other equipment and tools, providing convenience and practicality. For example, small tool knives, ammunition bags, water bottles, marching food and other items are fixed on the vest through webbing, which can be carried with you and taken at any time, which is very convenient. Reduce the weight burden of soldiers and make them more flexible and convenient in combat.

From this, it can be seen that placing a large amount of webbing on military camouflage vests is not only to shape the personalized appearance decoration and fashion sense of the vest, but also to increase the camouflage effect, improve the practicality and comfort of the vest, and meet the needs of soldiers in combat.
