Blackhawk RACK gear is made in Vietnam, and almost identical to the SDS version.

Noticeable differences: BPG woody cam is darker and it is not nylon, also neither has the company of origin on it IIRC, so that may well be a BPG pouch.

As for SDS producing MOLLE overseas, I have my doubts since the majority of their gear is sold via gov't contract and they have done considerable expansion of their stateside facilities (check the website).

I have had serious heartburn in the past with SDS (warranty in particular), but am going to offer their gear as a stateside alternative to BPG, plus BPG is or already has sold out all of their RACK gear.
