Joe,<br><br>I would avoid anything overtly military. For one thing, there's the survivalist connotation. Also, civilian products are generally of higher quality and "use-ability". You're more likely to get what YOU want, rather than some armchair warrior's idea of a "good enough for everybody" item. Most military "personal issue" gear, is IMO a collection of compromises that sometimes work, and more often don't. You'll pay more for a civilian product, but you'll get what you need. Always remember that anything military was made by the lowest bidder.<br><br>Take care,<br><br>Andy
