>>2496533>shite materialsthe textiles they use in civvie gear and milsurp are off the shelf and come from the same suppliers. there's not really any quality difference across brands or industries in regards to materials.
high end civvie gear will often use much higher end textiles than anything found in milsurp because its unreasonable to kit out an entire army in bleeding edge yacht sail tech like say X-Pac. when the patents expire you'll see milsurp made out of it.
>(((they)))you don't think jews run the military contractor game? kekw
>and some pieces have lasted me more than 8 yearsmost of my ultralight shit i bought in the mid 2000's is still fine. the only stuff that's really fallen apart or naturally degraded are consumables (boots, shoes, socks, etc) puffy jackets and shell jackets.
some of it you just have to baby a bit (like always hanging my pack) but it lasts fine.
>mass producedwhat do you think milsurp is? mass produced + lowest common denominator + design priorities that aren't outdoor recreation.
especially american market milsurp. europeans get some admittedly nice stuff made by civvie recreation brands in mil contracts.
>backpacksthe us mil buys their designs from civvie companies like osprey and has them made with lower quality labor. they're good *deals* but not amazing backpacks compared to what's out there on the civvie market.
>so basically everything you need to go out?clothing and shelter are pretty important i'd reckon.
