Their customer service is great, I'm always hearing about how quickly they replace defective gear and I don't think I've ever heard a complaint about their customer service. I rarely hear that about other manufacturers. Not the customer service part, they all seem to do a good job of taking care of their customers. I rarely hear about anything needing to be returned to Eagle or SOE. There's a clue there somewhere.  |

Blackhawk makes good gear. They do not make the best gear and they are not the most rugged bomb-proof nylon maker -- but they are rugged enough to get the job done and their kit is in use by some of this nations fiercest warriors. However, they are the absolute best gear company. Their products are readily available, in quantity, their advertising is top notch (people know their name), and their service is second to none. If you need something now, Blackhawk is a fine choice. If you have the time to wait and need something more specialized and/or unbreakable, then we can turn you towards SOE, LBT, Eagle, Paraclete, Tactical Tailor, etc...

Biggest complaint I have heard from people, is regarding them sending production over to Veitnam. I have had some of their gear from before and after they went overseas, and the quality/fit went down slightly when from here to there. Overall, still pretty good stuff.
Ditto what Lightfighter said. |

My issue with Blackhawk is that in many cases their products cost more than the original American made designs that they copy. I don't have much of a problem with a slightly lower quality knockoff, but I expect it to be priced as such. I have also noticed that the STRIKE gear they came out with seems to be a direct copy of a system that Eagle produces for the military. The owner of Blackhawk claims to have designed it, which doesn't really seem true. I prefer to spend less and but an American made product from an honest company.

Couple of my team use BHI gear. It holds its own with Eagle and my SOE stuff, but it's not as refined. The only BHI thatI use is a Raptor pack (my 3-day went to A-stan with a friend) and neither have experienced any failures or problems.
