EA Gear: Decent Brand?
 

Hello,

I was looking around eHobby Asia and I found this set of BDUs:
http://shop.ehobbyasia.com/ea-gear-b...-2007-ver.html
(eHA is an ASC sponsor, right? I won't get that link taken down?)

The company that makes it is some obscure company I haven't heard of, EA Gear. Does anyone have any experience with this company?

Is the fabric of good quality? Is the stitching durable? Are the colours okay?

Any info is appreciated.
Thanks!

EA Gear = eHobby Asia Gear.

Which just means generic made in china stuff. Same idea as Evike labeling their generic gear as Matrix branded. It's better than listing the brand as "Generic" or "Made in China". Stuff will work, but don't expect it to compare to a real brand.

OH.

They're clever.

I've also found another brand that makes the Type 07, ACM. Are they any good?

Thanks for the info on EA, though.

ACM just means "All China Made"

Wow.

I'm new to this kind of acronym marketing, so...

Thanks for all the info.

Type 07 camo eh, I have a friend that sells the Real Type 07 Urban digital BDU only problem is they are ACM too ......All China Made, though Another Chinese Manufacturer is also widely used.

#$%^!

So how do I know if I'm buying a high-quality brand?

It doesn't rip after one wash <--- True story I had a Type 65 repro unifrom that fell apart after one wash.

A friend of mine managed to get his hands on 07 digital before it was common. Turns out he got the ones hastily made for a Major PLA parade. The Button holes where mismatched, and it fell apart.

The way to tell if the Type 07 uniform is to look for the PLA factory red proof markings. There is a whole article showing where to check to make sure the uniform is legit.

Or buy a brand someone else has tried and it hasn't ripped for them yet..

Don't buy replica of CPLA gears.
Real CPLA gears are mostly fine, but the relicas of CPLA gears are mostly like shit. Plus, $79.99 for a set of 07 camo is way too expensive.
I will try find you a place for 07 camo in China, if you want it that much...

That would be greatly appreciated. I couldn't find anything on the forum you gave me, so... :\

There are plenty discussion about CPLA gears on thar forum. This is a place they suggested. Should be legit.

it didn't say "07", "issued camo" etc, because if the seller do that, the TAOBAO website will delete it, but it is real 07 camo. Not sure if they have your size though.

Ah. I see.

So is it a full set, or is it just the tunic? And if it's just the tunic, where would I find the pants?

Sorry for all the questions, it's just that new ones keep popping up after the old ones have been answered. <_<

He said it is for a set, you can ask that guy to make sure.
I am grad to find someone into CPLA gears in Canada... :D

Well I guess you kinda missed out on the party...

Don't have much airsoft players nearby...

Thank you for the link.

If I may ask one more question, how do I search TaoBao for it if the keywords 'Type 07' and 'issued' are blocked? XiangYang is too far away from Shenzhen, where I will be visiting this Summer, so that link I cannot use.

Sorry again for all the questions.

The team looks pretty badass, though. Props! :D

I found that seller by first searching the Chinese forum for reliable CPLA gear seller (in one of the sticked post there) , then ask them individually if they have 07 camo.
You can also search TaoBao for Type 07, issued, etc. You will still find some sellers, but I can't tell if they are reliable.
Besides, XiangYang is not that far away, it may take 2-4 days for shipping to Shenzhen, by some courier.
