I can see about uploading my old comparison pics onto my new computer later, they contained Crye vs. old Tru-Spec, Propper, HSGI and 204 Tactical.

The Huang stuff is very good, subtle differences in colour, but huge differences in material and construction.

Tru-Spec TRU is way off in colour (even though it's a licensed fabric and both comparison pants are brand new, never worn), and the selection of material locations is quite different. Cordura is used on the Crye at the knees, but not on the Tru-Spec, and the Crye material is much lighter. The Tru-Spec is rip-stop though.

The EBB range vest is much darker than the Crye, and the construction isn't even close. But the Crye is no longer made, very hard to get, and 5-6 times the price if you're lucky.
