Im gonna throw down here. In all honesty if your on a budget and need something then yeah the knock off stuff is ok. But the truth is that the difference between knock of gear and the real stuff is not as great as you have posted. Other then paraclete who are rediculously overpriced.
Brands like BHI (although lower on the foodchain) Tactical Tailor , TAG , TAS/PPM Are very reasonably priced and honestly not much more money then a knock off rig , and when you consider the warranty on the product and the quality its usually worth the difference. Yes you arent gonna get hit by bullets or bombs BUT you are still going to be dragging your gear on the ground , getting hooked on branches , possibly wood or nails (depending on where you play). I started with knock off gear and upgraded when pouch flaps were torn off from branches or utility pouches wore through because i crawled around alot. Im sure that some of the knock off stuff is good but at the heart of it all real gear is made for field usage and knock off is mostly made for looks.
