Exactly as expected.

Was as described , a little used but a lot of life left in it. No defects. I cleaned it up and dyed it for my area. All in all I would buy another one if needed. Very happy with the gear!

Small tactical Knee Pads in ICU pattern

What can I say, FCS is awesome. I ordered a set of small tactical Knee Pads & rec'd a pair of large ones instead. I contacted FCS & they replied STAT; turns out it was a tech issue. They extremely quickly sent me the right size w/ a return envelope & postage paid UPS sticker. The small pads were shiny & new and at a fair price. So I have nothing but good to say about my experience. Thanks FCS crew,
