This black bag is an excellent workmanship. The straps on the zipper slides are now black Para Cords (would not have purchased because of the almost still depicted gray things). The zipper runs through afloat. This is set by Tasmanian Tiger Cordura nylon is a touch woven fine, a little rough and optically brighter than when Maxpedition: Maxpedition shines more and dirty probably not quite as fast. As outside pocket I would Tac Pouch 4 - do not necessarily want to install for both reasons at a Maxpedition-luggage - with the ingenious se pushbutton Molle straps of TT. Very nice is at Tasmanian Tiger that the stitching is also pitch black; Maxpedition is there known to be a gray threads. - Overall, this is a top quality product at a great price. The large price difference to Maxpedition probably be attributed not only to the unfavorable dollar exchange rate, but can also be explained by the under squinting sinterized production countries. Maxpedition can sew in Taiwan, TT (Tatonka) in favorable Vietnam.
