Johnny D My honest answer is that in the same application I have no idea. I do not use nor do I own any of the EHS line. I have all of the main product line and that line is fine for my very heavy use. My old style double row bag is going on four or five years of heavy use, it's beat up with a lot of character bt my Bassmaster Needles ad Hawghunter Pencils are still safe and secure.

I do know that with at least three custom/semi custom mfgs making bags that go for as much as $600 plus dollars there is definately a market for the super high end gear.
