I am a long time user and owner of various BDS products. I have never found any brand of tactical gear or any other manufacturer to be up to the highest standards of BDS. Gear I bought 3 years ago are still being worn and used by me today. BDS is a better investment than gold or real estate. I always get my value out of each item in the short and long term. Oh and I really like this Nalgene Bottle Holder Too! THANK YOU BDS!
