    Hill People Gear

    I thought that somebody on this board is using their stuff....... Who was it?

    I'm looking into one of their recon bags to wear with my backpack.

    I've got one of their kit bags. It's very well made and fits a full size pistol just fine. It's nice to have your essentials Handy when hiking. I imagine all their stuff is as well made as the kit bag. They have a few different styles and sizes.

    I too have the kit bag, I got the "joggers" style because I wanted a slim line bag that would be comfy in the hammock and sleeping bag too..

    I love this thing, as I said it's very well made.
    I've fit a ruck and on another occasion a heavy 3 day pack with this think packed with my map and full size sig.

    Now they have a bellowed one. I imagine all their stuff is this well made.

    My second fielding I had my holster so I had more room in this, I held my map and compassion in there, and a few other small essentials.

    It is my understanding these Hill people are refugees from the Eagle take over. No matter what they make great equipment. I was looking at their stuff at the Shot Show. I will be going up to Oregon when I visit my kid and stopping by.

    The HPG crew are using First Spear to do the product sewing. First Spear is all the good guys/gals from Eagle when it got bought out by the shoddy DEADCHICKEN!!! (blackhawk) crew.

    I have a Serape from HPG. Its awesome. Warm and multifunction. Perfect for your GHB/BOB or Backpacking gear.

    Well, that fills me with dread...This -> www.blackhawk.com is the "blackhawk" you all are referring to? If so, kinda figures. Bugger OPSEC... I work at a Walmart, in sporting goods, selling firearms and (thank Whoever) limited tac stuff. Said tac is mostly under the... yes... Blackhawk label.

    I HAVE heard things about First Spear, and it's been all very good.

    Yep. That is the shoddy company I'm referring to.

    First Spear is legit.

    Yeah. And I'm stuck with explaining Blackhawk to those in the know. Not my idea, not my preference.
