What do you think guys of eHobby's bdus they are rather cheap but what about quality? Are they acceptable? I know this is nothing to do next to Crye, but.. are they worth the money?

thanks! I may be lookin' for a marpat set for cheap, since I'm not a Gear-o-holic
I purchased the German Flec BDUs from ehobby Asia just to compare them to my real issue flecs. The quality is comparitively less, and when worn they fell more like canvas.

This is the set I purchased: http://cgi.ebay.com/German-Army-Wood...QQcmdZViewItem.

A comparison to the real issue:

Material:

Real issue: 65% Baumwolle & 35% Polyester
Ehobby Asia issue: 80% Banmolle & 20% Polyester

Feel:

Real issue: Soft and warm as cotton
Ehobby Asia issue: Feels like Polyester/Canvas, rough on skin

Issue date:

Real Issue: 1995 Flectarn
Ehobby Asia issue: States 1991 however when asked they stated that this is a reproduction of that years issue.

Sizing:

Real Issue: XL - fits me just fine as I am 6'4" tall 210lbs
Ehobby Asia issue : XL - fits more like a large, cannot wear as it fits to small.

I hope this information helps. Personally I would stick to the real deal!!!
