    I have one of their rifle cases that I have beat up for 3-4 years now. The zipper failed two months ago. Like everyone else has said watch out for the zippers. But I have a few friends who have their jackets and they really like them.

    Likewise. So far so good.
    I also have their tear away EMT pouch and it seems pretty good.

    Thumbs up #602

    I currently have the Summit #602 and love it...
    I will be buying another when the one I have is up. I work outside in the rain and it just beads up and rolls off. Nice and quiet, vents well if temps are between wearing it and not. Got it as a gift for X=mas last year and so far so good. the zipper is starting to get a little difficult.

    It is not warm but add a hoodie and you're snow bound. They run small so get a size larger. I'm normally a large and my Summit is an XL.

    I have on of there backpacks and it has held up well considering the price. (half the cost of competitors) but the little pull rope in the zippers does not hold up to being pulled one. The zippers have not failed, they are just hard to close without a pull string.

    I picked up one of their range bags a few weeks ago and am so far quite impressed. Seem to be fairly heavy duty construction. We'll see how it holds up.

    They are great jackets. Go to youtube and type in nutnfancy. He has a very good review of the jacket you are looking at! Highly recommended.

    Condor may have improved their quality but I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole. They makeup garbage which will fall apart with any use. Their zippers fail, and seams might as well have been glued together with elmers glue. Their equipment was originally made and geared towards airsoft. I have seen their pouches fail with 3 days use and jackets fail just as fast. I've learned through blowing my hard money that anything that looks like tactical gear s
    hould be bought from reputable manufacturer.

    I recently went to the shot show and saw the entire range of tactical gear from the lowest to the highest from many different companies. Condor is not anywhere near the highest grade nor is it the lowest. If you can't afford the best Condor isn't the worst you could go with. Fox tactical is lower quality while being basically the same stuff if you compare the designs. Believe me you can go much lower in quality. Much, much lower.

    Personally I am quite pleased with their small pouches.

    Price for Condor versus fit and finish of 5.11 (which we can get both locally), Condor is well worth it. Officers I work with own a decent amount of Condor gear. So far it stands up to the rigours of a nuclear power plant (off n on n off as you cycle in n out of hardened positions, lots of potential snag/rip/tear opportunities).
