Review on Atwood Mobile Products ARMTRDRED TRD by Fuzzhead Nelson

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Great design, poor quality.

I liked it when I first got it but the belt clip was very loose right out of the box and easily detached from my belt and backpack. I was very afraid that I would end up losing it, but I still continued to wear it every day, hoping that I was wrong and that it would last. I wore it on my belt for as long as I could, but ended up tying it as tight as I could to the compression straps on the side of my pack) because it fell off my belt every time I bent over. forward or make a quick move, and I thought maybe it's because of the rugged and tactical design of my pack, the side compression straps (which are used to compress and tightly secure the gear stowed in your pack, as well as the lung items hanging for quick and easy access without having to open or dig through the backpack) will be a more stable place where it cannot move or detach. I was completely wrong, on the third day I was carrying this item in the snow two miles on my way home, it came off somewhere along the way (I didn't hear it fall because I was walking on grass/weeds). I'll be lucky if I ever see it again, but I really enjoyed it while it lasted. High quality paracord, beautifully designed with a built in cutter and ruler for quick, easy and precise cuts every time. Although the belt clip is of very poor quality. I am disappointed and frustrated. I can't even return it because I don't know where it is.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Could have gone for a newer model
