Also in a 3rd party test where they took temperature readings, it appeared to, actually help the suppressor cool. These points and the endorsement by F2S are the reasons I went with the Manta.
I opted for the Cole-Tac for a few reasons. The wrap is going on a can that will reside primarily on my .308 DMR, which will not see nowhere near the sustained rate of fire shown in those videos. The HTP should be more than sufficient for moderate use. I do plan to pick up an additional cover for my 5.56 can when it clears NFA. And although I won't be doing any mag dumps, I will be performing realistic reload and transition drills, but will not be expending that much ammo at that rate of fire for extended periods of time. My guess is the Cole-Tac will hold up just fine. I also like the clean appearance of the straps and the custom color options available. My experience with their customer service so far has been very positive. I forgot to apply the NFA Review discount code so I sent them a note, and the money was refunded a few hours later. They've been very responsive, professional and courteous in their correspondence. Very impressive. They've earned my business.
