I would like to dedicate this thread to Gear made in the USA ONLY.

Dear Fellow WZ Registered Users and Members:

I would deeply appreciate you posting Hiking, Climbing, Backpacking and Skiiing Gear made in the USA in this thread because I can't think of one brand made in the USA, but I know there has to be at least one brand made in the United States of America.

Today I was looking through a Pantagonia catalog and did not see one item made in the USA. Everything in the catalog is made in China, Vietnam, Taiwan, and Thailand. I think there might have be one item made in Canada/Mexico (NAFTA - the closest to being a product made in the USA). I'm not saying the products in the Pantagonia catalog are not quality items, I'm just saying they're not made in the USA.

I hope some of you can come up with some American made products we normally use to hike or climb.

If someone wants to start a thread for Made in the UK, Germany, Australia, France or some other country, that would be great too, but this thread is for USA made products.

Thank you for listening,
L-A-R
