What is a Dead Rag

A dead rag is a red cloth used to signal other players in airsoft that you are hit and "dead" not in play please stop shooting me.

You can use a cheap shop rag but they get lost easily ask me how I know.

There also sewn in pouches like elite force but the have limitations like being stuck to the pouch and a pain to reinsert. The placement is limited if you place on chest than your back isn't covered. If you place on head you can't see the pouch and reiterating sucks 

The MILSIM dead rag gives you the best of both worlds you can stow it anywhere but still get it to your head for 360 coverage. Plus it has sewn in hook and loop to attach to helmet or hat with female hook and loop.  And it has a metal grommet to dummy cord it to your gear. The HITEM system includes a badge reel that automatically returns the rag for easy stuffing back into pouch
