Has anyone used/owned the Galati bandoleers for holding magazines? Any opinions on quality and durability?

I have a couple that I picked up somehow over the years. I can't say that I've treated them roughly, but they seem fine after many years of light, occasional use.
Alright. Thanks for the response. How does the material they use seem? If you ould compare it to other makers of gear and the fabric used...

It's been so long that I've seen them....... IIRC, they were made out of some sort of heavy, PVC material, with a fabric-like texture. They were made quite a while ago, and perhaps things might have changed––or not. I don't know if Galati uses this material still, or if so, on some products and not others.
If the material were to get torn, It would be easy to repair it with a self-vulcanizing inner-tube patch.
I don't have a mag pouch, but I do have a Galati case for my AR-15 that i've used for 20 years now. Its been beat up, dragged on, etc, and has held up without any tears, rips, etc.
Thanks for the replies guys. Yeah. I'm really interested in the bandoleers for the AK mags, M-14 mags, shot shells and battle caliber rounds. I haven't come across any bad press or opinions about Galati. I wonder if there are any video reviews around about them? I looked on YouTube and it's just general bag info. and what not...
