It's made of Cordura and resembles the real one pretty closely; the drag handle looks bigger than it should be, and the PALs strips on the pack go completely across instead of being only on either side. Everything else seems done right, down to the button hole on the rear plate pocket cover.

It also includes the yoke/collar, which is a plus IMO. It's designed right, but the filling looks too soft (real one is pretty stiff, like a centimeter thick piece of felt -- look at the other thread about FSBE AAVs, I have a pic of mine with an IBA collar installed). While not critical, I'd worry about it bunching up and rubbing against my neck which would get annoying, specially when it's hot.

Found em on eBay for about C$125 (shipped here). Couldn't find it on WGC, but I did notice Guarder's IBA (MOD vest) also has the full width PALs strips on the back, so I'd guess KA knocked it off.

It should be noted that Gaurder has an ACU version out now too... now if only there was a canadian distributor....
