Anyone have any first hand info on the quality of their items and also are they all made in the UK?

As a cadet they have served me very well without ripping at all. They are british made also. They dont have the low IR signature that the real deal PLCE has and that is where the costs are cut... or so ive been told. There are small differences in the mag pouches and other things

I've heard of their bergans dropping to bits but dont have first hand experience of this.

What web-tex kit are you looking at in particular?

Its all rubbish. either that or they actively blew it to bits cuz thats the only way you could do that. It is possible to put a hole in it apparently with bad packing

Basically the material has some witchcraft that means that if you look at it with infa red equipment it doesnt show up as much as if you were just wearing an average T-shirt. I think soldier 95 smocks do that too dont they?
