As for the Black Hawk stuff, some stuff they got is decent. Some Snipers an Inf Recce guys wore Black Hawk webbing over there; don't think they had any issues with it. Black Hawk makes some decent gear an other gear they make is junk.
Theres a kitshop in KAF called Black Ops, it's all chinese knock off stuff so stay away from it. Unless you are going in just to buy one of those butt stock mag pouches(if you didn't get one issued when you get kitted out in theatre).
TAG, HSGI, Tactical Tailor and SO Tech are pretty much the top gear makers an I'd recommend staying with them.

What about something like the BHI Strike Webbing? Its like the Riverine/ISSAK rig from LBT, only completley molle, easy to pull on or off (closes with 3 fastex buckles, or in a pinch you could probably tie the webbing straps together), allows for a LOT of load carry, and stows up pretty small when not in use...
