* Any time an item is described as "military-grade," such as weaponry, camping gear, baggage, and so on, this is a meaningless marketing buzzword that anyone can slap on a label. If the item is actually used by the military, that means the government gave the contract to the lowest-bidding company and the item is dirt-cheap, offering the barest minimum level of acceptable function and reliability. "Military-grade" is the floor in terms of quality, not the ceiling, and people that have served will ''avoid'' such items in their civilian lives. At best, the claim is used to jack up the price for people who don't know better. At worst, the claim is actually true.
