Glad everything worked out after a few unfortunate incidents. One rule to live by anytime you are traveling outside the U.S. Only leave in a car what you expect to be gone when you get back. I have left my gear under a camo tarp 10 ft from the car in the forest many times while herping. Anytime, any...

One thing I do know for sure from personal experience is that some leps and some specks I've found have changed color (intensity) right before my eyes.

I have no doubt that Hexarmor is a proven product but it's not the hexarmor that's the problem. It's the stitch where the agave and the needle entered.
