For a small EDC pouch, 25 bucks is middle of the road. Viperade and Maxpedition for only a little more than that has quality products. Honestly other than notorious and garage built suit my style and I do know that the notorious is very good quality. Some of the other expensive small pouches out there seem to be more about the collectability of them based on limited drops ramping up prices. Only one I know for sure is US made is Garage Built. I do appreciate videos like this to see the build quality and layout of the pouches to determine if they will work for me.
Thanks for your thoughts. We got a hold of some "Pew Tactical" stuff that had knocked off Spiritus Systems. We compared Multicam GP pouches and a Wing Thing and with the exception of the labels we could not tell the difference. Even had the same signature while wearing NODs. So since then my options on made in China tactical nylon has changed for the better.
We do our best to support American businesses as small businesses are what fuel an economy That being said, no one should get a pass on low quality gear Thanks for engaging! 🙏
