It's to avoid trashing the scope on barricades when you put it through an opening like a vtac. The ones that work best are the scope chaps inho but I use vet wrap also.
Do you get bonus style points if the vet wrap matches your socks?Yup, that.👆
I don't expect my expensive optics to come out of matches unscathed, but vet wrap gives them a little protection from getting banged around ladders, cattle gates, bus windows, dump trucks and other weird props that sadistic match creators come up with.
Plus, depending on the color/pattern it has to add at LEAST 10% more to ones' cool factor.😎
