How can I tell if I have an older Motherlode or a newer, redesigned one?

If it looks like this one, you have the new one. If not, you have the older model.

The shape and the PALS webbing on that Camelbak pack sure look familiar, don't they?

Open one up and you will really start to see similarities.

That's piss poor, Brad. Does the fact that you were the innovator rather than the thief give you any solace?

Everyone copies everyone. EVERYONE. I accept this as fact of life in this business and just do my best to stay in my lane. I will continue to market innovative ideas (there are some nifty ones coming) and I will also continue to sell gear from other companies that make good products. As long as I do what BRAD has in his heart, and not worry about keeping pace, I will be successful. I will watch my sector and do my best -- that is the only promise I know how to make.

Now if we could just get Galls to get rid of all their old style Motherloads for $49.00 a pop, we would be in business.

Galls if your listening, I'll take one in OD green to match my bargain basement OD Blackhawk Omega, that I bought from you guys, last month.

They ripped off your combat backpack eh? I'm pretty sure that's illegal. But I guess you're not too worried about it eh?

It was never patented and patents are useless with nylon goods. To circumvent a patent, one only has to change 10% of the design and they have BAM, a new product. I consider it just part of the territory and something to keep in mind whenever I debut something.
