I need new boots and bibs. I am trying not to buy sh!+ from China. Any USA gear made or non-China
Is there any USA made riding gear? At least not made in China?

made in china
Good luck!!! Last year I bought some bibs from Cabelas. Paid around $225. They have Goretex, so I thought they must be made in USA. Nope, you guessed it, just like everything sold in america today--MADE IN CHINA--

There is not a usa clothing manufacturer. In the sled industry, or in any other industry, the closest thing to it is klim, they design, and test everything in the usa, and also do all repairs and warranty from thier warehouse in rigby

Not to worry. Soon everything will be made in Kenya.

canadian made
Arcteryx is (or was) all made in Vancouver in Canada,it is not sled specific but it is top quality premium outdoor gear(as well as premium priced).Then again if you have to pay north American wages to the people in the factory nothing is cheap,but it is worth it.They also have a great warranty program,they are really good with backing what they make.

Believe it or not the cost is not the only reason for going over seas...... The quality and consistency of product is actually better then you would get here in the states. So you can't blame the US and Canadian Companies for going there, you can blame the over paid under educated american and the labor union that is supposed to protect him.
As for everything going to Kenya I don't see that happening.... In the next few years you will see almost all clothing made in Korea. With all the out cry of American jobs going to China, the US has enforced huge duties and trade embargos between the 2 countries. Being the Korea is a U.S. alli they charge very little to import from there and the quality is virtually the same. No matter what you buy you will be supporting someone delaing in over seas trade. If you find clothing that is built here ask them where the fabric comes from, where the coatings are made, even something as small as the zipper pulls.
Good Luck on your search!!!!!

Anyone know where Riema and or Scott USA products are made. I have many pieces that made it 10 years or so for me still working. Now that Scott has purchased the snowmobile line from Riema recently its been hard to find a dealer for the current products I want. So not sure where the current line is being manufactured. I believe my old stuff was made in Scandanavia

Riema
I have Riema gear, and I LOVE it!! It's a couple years old. I checked it and it's made in "Thailand."
