I just wanted to let people know of a new site that you may or may not know about yet. Here's the link: ebaybanned.com/index.php The owner used to sell on ebay but was banned because his products looked too much like multicam (copyright) and because of ebay's firearm policy. It's a company out of China and so far I've gotten nothing but great service from them (specifically Paul Wong the owner). In my mind, the one thing that is great about this site is their "Multicam" Copies. I actually purchased shirt and pants set from him and was very satisfied with the quality of the product. The multicam pattern looked as good as the real thing (although I've only seen that on the actual multicam site). I'll definitely be back there to buy other things. He's also got a bunch of different vests and accessories that I haven't seen anywhere else so far and his prices are really reasonable. All the prices listed on the site already include shipping so there's no need to do any calculations. Anyways, take a look and see for yourself and feel free to post any questions and concerns you might have since I will be sending this link to the owner. |

How's the crotch room in the pants? The last time I bought Chinese mulitcam the crotch was so small in them that I literally popped the seams out the first time I bent down. I had to go two waist sizes bigger just to have enough room for my 'equipment' to ride snugly. I'm being perfectly serious here, everyone I know that's ever bought Chinese multicam pants has complained that the crotch was like wearing a latex glove.

like wearing a latex glove. Mine fit fine and I would have noticed if it fit like a latex glove. I didn't have any issues with that specific area but I guess that could differ depending on your body type though. I typically wear a size 32 and I got the pants to run just a little larger than that. |

Blah screw that knock off MC crap. It all fades too easy. I could buy a bunch of that from China and sell it here but no one wants it. The people who have bought it only bitch and complaint after a period of time. If you got some decent stuff, consider yourself lucky  |

I guess only time will tell if the stuff I got fades. I'll be sure to post if it does or doesn't.

Plus also, why would I want to buy from a seller who got banned from ebay for copyright infringement?

I guess you could look at it this way. They got banned because they copied it so well that the company that makes Multicam complained to Ebay that this company (ebaybanned) made stuff that looked too much like theirs and was selling it for a fraction of the cost.
I know that their stuff is nowhere near the quality you would get from the company that actually developed Multicam. I won't argue with anyone on that but I read new posts on the forums maybe once a week that Airsoft is 90% about the looks. That is why I posted the link because if that statement is true then this company provides something that looks good for a reasonable price.
I know that some of the retailers out there might not like seeing another competitor emerge. I expect that someday soon another company will come out and undercut this one. That's just how things are these days. I'm not tied to this company in any way. As a customer just liked how their stuff looks for the price I paid.
p.s. I've used the multicam set once and it has been washed three times and so far no fading yet. Time will tell though.

The fact he was banned from ebay for copyright infringement doesn't mean much. Any time you buy MC knock off's from say, Redwolf, you are basically buying the same thing he sells.
I'm just not a fan of MC that requires washing. It fades. Now the vests, knee pads, pouches etc, those don't get washed so they would hold up better as far as fading is concerned.
I'm a gear whore so I would still rather have the real deal but for an airsofter, one of those MC vests would be fine.
