I find that PALS channels on my PHANTOM are already starting to show wear to the point where I am sure they will blow out soon. I have the G&P FSBE and it's way better build quality than the Phantom. The Phantom pouches are fine, but the vest quality just doesn't seem up to par when you compare it with Guarder and G&P - especially when it comes to the FSBE.

Makes you wonder when BHI is going to make a CIRAS replica...hehehe guess they got dinged too many times for replicating EAGLE stuff before. With the price of pouches nowadays tho I would go with BHI pouches on my replica vest. I find they are thicker and better stitch than Phantom, and are much more resistant to fraying - especially on the mag pouch flaps.
