Simon,
It's made by Condor Industries. It's basically a budget line company for the military. They still make really good honest gear though. I suggest you try one of these.
But making one should definitely be fun and interesting to see. Hope you can get some pics up soon.
Mac,
The rigs are actually pretty darn useful. You can get a variety of pouches and attachments. I have a nimravus sheath, a spec op survival sheath, and a radio pouch on mine. It's been holding up really well and I like it.
Cloak did a great summary on it.
Get one.
