I've had both, and you pretty much get what you pay for, or so it seems to me.

i dont like the knox armory ones at all.. at first their very puffy and then they just deflate and hang down around your ass. the alpha bombers fit better, and in my opinion are far more durable.

If I didn't think the price was so rediculous, I'd buy this one. The price is way fucking absurd though. The workmanship is probably ten times better than most new flights being made today though.

I did all of that, AND I bought new tools!!!

[EDIT] OK, I didn't actually do any of that, but I did buy new thin-set trowels!

haha...That's what said when I read it. Not worth it, but I do like the look of the black one. I had a buddy that had an old school WWII flight and that damn flight lasted him at least 10 years through all kinds of crazy bullshit, the only thing that gave out eventually were the cuffs on the sleeves. The jacket was still fine.
