More Information About Ducksback + NEW Ducksback Facemask
WHY THE DUCKSBACK MATERIAL PERFOMS SO WELL AS A WATER RESISTANT FABRIC Thanks to the material's micro-gutter structure (photo), tiny convex bulges reduce horizontal surface tension to enable raindrops to slip smoothly off the surface in a vertical direction. DUCKSBACK also has high moisture permeability due to its non-laminated structure, so it allows sweat vapor to escape, keeping the inner surface [...]

Every year DLA awards a contract to a different company making socks for socks for the soldiers; why? because the socks received the previous year did not perform as described [...]
associations

That is the headquarters. I doubt that they have a factory there or [...]
