RAP4 vs. CPGear for CADPAT

[dacheez]

I've done some digging for answers to this question and can't find anything satisfactory:

Which company offers better quality CADPAT clothing (as in BDU or equivalent)? I've been looking mainly at RAP4 and CPGear. The latter costs more than twice as much. Is there a major quality difference? Anyone out there have any experience with both? How does each hold up to normal wear and tear? Fading?

If RAP4 is somewhat worse quality, in spite of that might I be better off getting two RAP4 BDUs for the price of one from CPGear, in case the first doesn't turn out to hold up too well?

Thanks. I just recently got into airsoft and this is the first time I've purchased any camo.

I'd be hesitant to get stuff from RAP4 because they are a paintball company and don't specialize in gear. I've heard good things about CP gear in the past, so I'd be more tempted to go with them. I also tend to spend a bit more on higher quality things rather than clone gear, so that makes me a bit biased. See if you can find a review of either of them out on the net and that might help narrow it down.

I would recommend signing up on AirsoftCanada, they should have a better recommendation about CADPAT and where to get it.

My question though is, why do you want CADPAT in the first place?

Thanks for the replies, everyone. I've opted to go with the CPGear.

@thor: I've opted for CADPAT in the first place since it appears that it would work well in the environment where I normally play (woods/fieds with heavy vegetation).

Ahh, no problem. You just don't see a lot of people wear it around here. Probably because authentic Canuck loadouts are hard and expensive to do. But if that's not what you're going for, then by all means, go for CADPAT if it looks like it will work best for ya.

Whatever you end up doing, don't order from RAP4. I ordered through them once to get some simple bearings and some other things for a gas grenade or something (its been a while now...) but I remember their service being terrible.

Hopefully they've improved since then...
