Durability may not be an issue now, but I am not sure how long they will hold up. With an Eagle case, the materials alone cost more than Condor is charging for the finished bag. I have Eagle cases that are over 20 years old and are still working well. A warranty will not be much good to you if you are in a bad place when something fails though. On the few occasions I have had something break, like when the baggage handlers let a duffel bag drag on the tarmac as they hauled it around the airport, Eagle has been very quick to repair and return the items.
I would also ask where these cases are being made. Most of the Condor products on the web site look like knock-offs of other people's designs.
Not necessarily a knock, I just am naturally suspicious till a product (and a manufacturer) prove themselves over a period of time. I would let the Airsoft customers sort that out for them in the interim.
Just my .02, YMMV.

Good points.
I didn't take it as a knock, just that you alway's make rational statements based on years of experience with gear and their manufacturers. Good call.
By appearances and feel, it's a decent case, but appearances don't mean much if my AR falls out of the bottom at the range.
I'm going to PM the former VP of sales development and see if I can get more detail on the company and it's warranties, if any, on the Condor Outdoor line of gear.
Thanks TR for your insight.
