Would you want to do a group buy from EbayBanned because I would also like to order a bowman but don't feel like setting up a paypal account.

I just ordered a few days ago from them without my paypal account, and the gear showed up today. Although with the customs label on it, and what the mask felt like in the envelope she gave me that "You dirty little brat, you bought a man-thong from Hong-Kong, didn't you" look. You all know it, I'm sure someone's given you that same look at some point.

Anyway, you don't need a paypal I don't think for EB. You can just hit a "Continue without making an account" button.

Is there no other place inside the USA that has this stuff?...
As for quality of chinese stuff Vs. USA... The textiles used there are most likely the same as used everywhere. I Bought a pair of BLACK HAWK SOLAG gloves..from Black hawk..Took 2 months as they screwed it all up..anyway once I received them I was looking them over and low and behold MADE IN CHINA!
China is not skimping on the quality of the materials. they save $$$$ on labor.
I have had zero problems with CONDOR pouches bags,even The boots are comfy, and have been taking a beating . I would look on EBAY for gear thats Inside the USA.

TRUE STORY;
A friend I know consulted with 5;11 company on a Boot and a belt buckle. 5:11 flew him to China to inspect the Molds and see the prototypes. He wanted a boot with the featuers of several others boots combined into one. As he explained to them what he wanted a guy cut and pasted it on the lap top. Satisfied he asked how long for a wearable proto type ( he expected weeks) they told him..Same time tomorrow!
As for The belt buckle it was wrong..they had already cast up 1500 buckles. He was dissapointed (in the USA Molds of this kind cost $20,000 to make)..there they can be made for $750.00 both projects were saved along with months of R&D and piles of $$$$.
This is why Condor , and these other items made in china are so affordable.

Yeah, the quality on my mask isn't that great, the edges aren't even hemmed. But nobody else sells the multicam face-wrap. And to buy multicam BDU's from a US retailer is going to cost $60+ per piece. So maybe china-made gear isn't perfect, but it is a cost-effective option.

Theres some reason why the British troops buy all the tan condor stuff from millers.. So the stuff must be pretty good! SAS and RAF have pretty high standards. Try finding a tan radio pouch ( Buy from Red Gila) at millers!.

My most recent condor item/s were the MP5 Magazine ouches. I could only find them at Red Gila, Top quality...Over built IMO. im sure they will last forever.
