A friend of mine swears by the few pieces that he owns by them. He lurves his T.H.E. pack..

As for me, I've seen better sewn stuff at the local dollar store...

I`m looking at the Ovest Armor Vest. I want a LBV and it seems to be the ticket

Their "Better BDU Belt" is actually pretty nice...and the plastic buckle goes thru airport metal detectors so you don't have to take it off.

There's nothing wrong with their pouches and gear...back in the day that was all we ran.  They went with a less expensive attaching system which they say is better than the normal web; dunno as I never used any of the new version.

Spec Ops is top notch.  I've had one of their wallets that i've used daily for 5+ years and it shows almost no wear.  

Their packs, pouches and organizers are well thought out and durable.

Jeff Wemmer (Wimmer?) the CEO is a cool guy who has supported shooting competitions I attend, and he is a solid competitor.

I think the mag pouches that I saw were lemons. The stitching looked like someone was either drunk or in a rush to get it done. I'm not saying that their whole lineup is like that..

And like I said, buddy of mine swears by the pack that he owns by them. And I have had a chance to look it over, and it looked well constructed, with nice smooth and beefy zippers...

THE Pack is very nice.  I've had one for several years and it has held up nicely.  The X systems pouches are fine  as well.

I freaking LOVE the Patrol Sling.  Stupid simple, versatile, inexpensive, comfortable, fits my fat self with winter gear on.  

I was given a Spec Ops wallet by the owner of BDM and it has held up well and there is much less denting in my buttcheek now.

I only own a few items, but all of them seem of excellent quality, and reasonably priced.

Since picking up one of their Better BDU belts 2 years ago, I havent worn another belt. I literally wear one of the 3 that I own now everyday. The price, quality and construction cannot be beat.

I own four or five of their products and no complaints.

Well made stuff and made in the USA

OK cool! Does anyone have experience wtih their Over Armor Vest? I saw one at Brigade QM, looked good but didn`t have the cash. Does it have to be worn with armor underneither or can you adjust it.

Also black or acu?

I think someone asked this before and the responses were that it won't fit very good or be very comfortable without armor under neath

I've used the THE pack bdu pocket organizers pistol mag pouches med pouch better bdu belt diggers belt wolf hook and the over armor. None of it has ever broken torn or otherwise failed. It's all good stuff. The over armor will workwithout armor but it's uncomfortable as hell

I tested one for my squadron about 5 years ago. It's designed to fit over the Interceptor vest. We wanted to know if it could work as a stand alone vest for times when IBA wasn't needed. On the armor the vest is very nice. As an assault vest it doesn't have the padding or adjustability to fit properly on a torso, especially with pouches and weight attached to it, it's also hot as just a vest (Which is not a factor when it's over the IBA). Well made and great company. I did a write up on the vest but don't think they ever incorporated any of my suggestions.
