i have long drooled over everything T.A.D. GEAR makes especially their packs and jackets.
a lot of it is in limited runs and hard to aquire.
now i am still waiting on my kifaru so i cant speak bu i have to wonder how much better it can be built than battle labs gear.i'm sure it is more versatile and maybe innovative but after really studdying and looking over my battle lab pack i dont think something can be built better with strength in mind.
i layed it down next to similar sized packs by blackhawk,eagle,spec-ops and tactical tailor.it hac extra re-enforcing stitching in all types of places that none of those packs have.
on one of their bigger packs the drag/carry handle actually wraps around the entire pack for added strength and durability and i love the molle/pals webbing on the inside of the pack which my kifaru will have.the bottom access opening is nice too.
this is one of those things you have to se and feel in person to actually appreciate and fully understand.i am totally blown away by this pack.i will wait untill i get my kifaru to say it is the best but other than that it completely blows every other manufacturers packs out of the water of the three listed above in design,quality,durability and strength.
much of it is because they are newer but battle lab tactical nylon has gotta be the best kept secret in that industry.i will be getting more.
pictures cant do it justice.the thoughtfulness is mind blowing
