Yeah anon, I have a few of their pieces of equipment. All USA made, exceptionally durable and well thought out equipment designed to be used. Also, the brothers who founded it are about as close to modern day Teddy Roosevelt's as you can get-love the outdoors, want to protect it while simultaneously being able to enjoy it, love their country, shall not be infringed, personal responsibility, etc. etc.

-the best day bag I have ever used, probably could use it for light summer overnight as well.
-use it for long day hikes, and also is great for carrying fly poles and a net
-adding the hip belt makes it hilariously comfy and easy to carry more than you would need
-excellent amount of organization and utility, manageable for a few miles all the way up to 20 miles with a full gear load out
Recon Chest bag
-God's plaid
-perfect size for a travel fly fishing pack
-carries my Glock 20 with spare mag, binos, and my bear spray above/outside my waders and water for when I fish in bear country
-very comfy, not nearly as bulky as I was expecting
-carries great when wearing a backpack as well and you want to carry a gat not on your hip
Qui ya light
-bomb proof, huge, exceptionally comfortable to carry a ton of gear and then some
-I loaded it up with 75lbs for 4.5 miles of hill country hiking and while I was working, after I got it adjusted and dialed in I had no hot spots/weird rubbing/aches
I cannot vouch for them enough anon-the company itself stands for a lot you probably agree with and the gear is absolutely unique and borderline invincible, and the utility is unmatched. Downsides?
-expensive (but comparable to higher end gear companies)
-the chest pack will scream at most people "I have a gun or want to have a gun"
-your back will get sweatier compared to the mesh webbing from other bags, but honestly if you get the aluminum stays and load lifters adjusted, you get more ventilation than expected. also, backs sweat regardless.
