Maxpedition is made in Asia, but is decent civilian gear.
If you wanted to have it made in the USA, you could, but then it would cost like Kifaru does. Top quality, top price.

So far the bag is alright as a simple carry-along. I would not trust it, however, to carry gear that is necessary to my survival in combat. I am waiting for my Kifaru gear to make an adequate assessment. I have all faith that the Kifaru bag will make me happy both personally and professionally. Thank you for all the input.

There are actually only a few companies that don't manufacturer overseas. Dosen't mean that it's not necessarily good gear but they can't bid/sell to DOD due to the Berry Ammendment restrictions. TR is exactly right about the pricing, overseas vs, US made and that US made is in most cases going to be better quality materials and workmanship.
BTW a little search for "Maxpedition" will bring up a lot of other comments about some of their an other company's gear.

Okay, I have done some research and gotten some updated info.
It would appear that the company has some policies and actions that I have some serious issues with.
Not looking to influence anyone else, but I would personally not buy anything from them.
Not going to air this dirty laundry, just stating my opinion, YMMV.
