I love Eagle packs. Tough as hell and comfortable. Blackhawk is crap made in china from some cordura imitation called nytaneon or whatever that [censored] is.
everyone has an opinion.
my is that while blackhawk is made in vietnam......not china......it is still a good pack,bottom line.
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.
i just sold my force-5 and i'm gonna miss it.i would've taken that over my eagle if i had to pick one.i only kept the eagle because it was black.
my BH cyclone is one hell of a pack.there is no way you could hold that pack in your hands and call it junk.i admit that it is older though and i do wonder about current BH products.
i am not some BH lover,just giving credit where it is due.i have given that ruck some tough treatment and it has worked great.
my overall opinions and i have used a lot of packs a lot of hours.......
i am currently waiting on a KIFARU ZULU and E&E pack.i am sure they will be my best packs.
currently my battle lab pack is by far my best pack.i can not say enough about it.to me quality is something that has to be felt.you can feel the quality in this pack is incredible and the design is also incredible.
i just got done overloading my spec-ops pack this weekend for some backwoods camping.its a descent pack but is showing signs of where prematurely.great pack but could last longer.
i just got a tactical tailor 3-day pack and i dont really like it.i shoul've gotten the eagle 3-day molle instead.
dont know why but i never fell in love with the maxpedition and i have heard some discouraging things about larger camelbaks failing.
all in all the eagle probably is the best bang for the buck since it doesnt look like battle lab is making a 3-day pack anymor
