One of the holster straps was in bad shape.
I contacted the seller and after a brief exchange of emails I was sent a complete holster to take care of it.
The bivvy bag had very minimal damage and was very easy to repair. I was expecting(and prepared for) worse. I also ordered a ruck sack that was just as described. I’m very happy with the order and I will give Forrest city my business any time.
Look great and in good condition for the great price. Thanks again been trying to find a good one to complete my old turtle that was on my cvc will i was a tanker.
