Yeah, I thought the quality might be a concern, but isn’t Maxpedition made in China too? Or am I thinking of another brand? Anyway, even if they are both made in China, Max might be better quality. Be careful in thick brush. It might be possible that a thorn or something could catch on it, pull it open, and dump your gear out. That would suck. Maybe you could use a small ziptie through the zipper pull to the kydex eyelet to keep it from unintentionally coming open?
