In total agreement there. For the price you pay, you're getting good product, but you can't expect it to have the same longevity of the real stuff that costs 5x as much. It's a good cost / performance alternative for the casual airsoft player that will wear it a few times a year for outdoor games. And as you said, it has the cordura in all the right places to help with longevity too.

For someone more hardcore that will put a lot of wear on their gear, it won't last as long as the real deal. If that's what you intend to do, either get the real deal, or expect to replace your BDU at least ever couple of years.

In my case, the Huang one is a good choice. I play a 50-50 mix of indoors / outdoors, and have multiple camo patterns, so my MC gear won't see more than 4 or 5 uses in a year at most. So it makes that a very attractive choice for me.

Overall, I give Huang's products 2 big thumbs up. I have several of his items, including his high quality CB CIRAS, DBoys C8 receiver, 552 replica, and am totally happy with all of it to date. I sometimes find little deficiencies, but most are minor and easy to deal with.
