I have a pair. Much better than I expected for the price.

They have decent stitching. It is doubled in high stress areas like pocket tops and seams. The belt loops are thick and sturdy with reinforced stitching, and a thin, built-in belt pad with criss-crossed stiching on the interior. Whilst the techniques used would suggest some aptitude on the part of the maker; there are plenty of hanging threads, as is common on repro gear.

Everything is in the right place to run leg holsters and other subloads, the large cargo pockets are more on the back of the thigh and there are two smaller ones lower, right above the knee.

There are adjustable velcro pull tabs to secure the knee pads, pockets on the outside of both ankles and velcro on the bottom cuff to secure around your boots or inside gaiters. Comfortable fit, either in a relaxed style or all high-speed and tight to the legs.

The Kneepads ARE removable. but DON'T. Reseating them again would be a pain to say the least.

All in all, very happy with the buy. Unless they fall apart with light use... as I've no idea how they will wear. Won't have a chance to game them until the spring, but I'm not expecting any troubles. They seem solid overall.

Interesting note: They say both "made in China" and "made in Cambodia" on the inside.
