nytaneon is not a generic form of nylon,it is a corny,hyped up bs name for the nylon they use which is still 1000-D cordura which is all that matters in that field
what is the difference between a eagle and BH 3-day pack other than where its made as far as materials are concerned???they both use 1000-D cordura,National Molding SR buckles and YKK zippers.
the materials are the same but i do admit that the customer service at eagle is probably better and being made in america gives it extra points.
1000D Cordura is manufactured only by Dupont. Blackhawk do not use 1000D from Dupont but an imitation nylon made overseas which is not the same quality. I have heard many reports that the Blackhawk stuff does not hold up, especially the stitching. I'm not sure about the buckles, the BH packs I've seen did not even have National molding buckles. In my opinion, Eagle has better materials, workmanship and top notch customer service (which I'll probably never use). Besides, I have more respect for american companies who stay at home and offer people jobs instead of selling out to the commies for the almighty buck.
