This is a solid reproduction of the originals quality-wise, it would seem. Yes, if we are going to get into semantics, the colors are a bit off. However; for someone like me who intends to use it on equipment for practical application, not as an impression, this is fine. The bag includes the two buckle clips which can also be tightened down to hold items such as a poncho or other small roll-able stuff under the butt pack. Alongside this, you can also HEAVILY tighten these straps down. This makes for less noise with what you are carrying and allows it to jumble around less. A tight pack is a light pack. Also, I've seen a supposed 'downfall' of this in one or two other reviews that I would like to address. These reviews state that the D-rings on the back of the bag are out of place, not helpful, and protrude into the lower back. What these folks don't know, is this is where you are supposed to attach your suspenders. As with the originals, this prevents the pack from drooping less when carrying a larger load inside of it. Overall, a solid little pouch. Includes metal alice clips and what not, has what you need.
