The Flyye multicam is real, but it also costs a little more.

Pantac uses 1000D Cordura, which is a type of nylon. It is very durable, just make sure it is real multicam. Thanks for bringing that to my attention, because it's not Crye. I've also looked at the Flyye Maritime CIRAS in CB and Multicam. Still a bit much for my wallet though. I know that I'm looking somewhere at about two hundred and fifty or more for the Pantac vest with shipping and handling from WGC, and that's enough for me. Unless Combat Depot re-stocks their CB CIRAS in soon, which would be nice. I also asked Airsoft Smith to see if they can get one in for me. Redwolf won't ship it to the US.

What is Pantac's nylon like? I've tracked down a Multicam Maritime CIRAS at WGC, but it's nylon. Edit: I just realized this is already a couple of days old. Apologies. By the way, Pantac makes all their gear up to Military Spec so its really durable stuff. I haven't had hands on experience with Flyye but I'm pretty sure they do the same thing. You can't go wrong with either of those. You can't really beat 1000D Cordura, and Pantac's stitching quality is great too.

Seems to be that it's hard to get the Maritime replica in the US. Airsoft Smith said their distributor doesn't carry the Maritime version, and they don't know if they could ever get it.
You can get the Land here it seems, but not the Maritime...for the most part. Whenever I find a place that carries the Pantac M. version, it's sold out. At Combat Depot, seventeen of their eight-teen Vests/PCs are sold out.
Dahm, I agree that 1000D Cordura would be best. Pantac's M. CIRAS in Tan/Khaki and CB are Cordura. Just have to decide which color would be best for me.

The Maritime CIRAS on Ebaybanned is a quality vest. As high a quality as Pantac or Flyye? Probably not. But if you want the maritime over the land, it's definitely a solid piece of gear.
Honestly though, the only real advantage of Maritime v Land is the ease of removal of the maritime. My Maritime always sits around with one side undone, so I can just throw it on and secure that side. You can't so that with a Land CIRAS. But, I feel that Land CIRAS's tend to have slightly more usable area. So, it's a trade off.

Get one from ebanned if you're worried about price. They have plenty of 1000D Cordura setups. If you want pantac, then there is always redwolfairsoft.com, or ebay.

echelon- Redwolf won't ship the Pantac M. CIRAS to the US. They state it right on the page of the product. Thor- I have looked at the versions on Ebaybanned, they have a CB Land labeled as a Maritime: www.ebairsoft.com/cirs-normal-version-p-1395.htmlI haven't looked far enough on Ebay to see if there was a Pantac M CIRAS being sold state-side. If I'm going to order the vest from over-seas, I might as well order it from WGC. Or Combat Depot if they get it in soon. I prefer a M CIRAS because, to me, it has most of what I need to begin with, other than a MAP. While I feel that the Land looks like it has too much real-estate for my needs. Also, I've noticed that some versions of the M CIRAS have three pouches up front, and some have four.

That one is pretty good, they also have this maritime too: www.ebairsoft.com/tactical-cira-armor-vest-p-968.htmlOther than the pouches you get, I'm not sure there's much difference. Whatever one you get though, make sure and get some fake plates for it. It literally makes a world of difference. It rides so much better with that extra rigidity.

That one is ok, but it looks a little sloppy, don't you think?
If getting a Pantac Maritime proves to be difficult, I'll break down and roll with the Pantac Land version. At least there's a steady supply of those here in the states.
Yes, plates will be a must!

There it does, but that's because the Chinese are lazy and don't actually Molle the pouches on. Here's one done right:

I love the simplicity behind it. Clean, not a bunch of shit hanging here and there.
Almost threw me, with everything being set up for a lefty.
