Dont forget EE sale starts today

[Rex Clifton]

You’re not going to like what I’m about to say. Katabatic Gear JUST announced they are outsourcing overseas as well. They are following EE’s model and having the shells made overseas and the stuffing and closing will be done in Colorado. Nunatak and Underground Quilt are the last remaining premium quilt makers for made in the USA.

Don't sweat the China thing. The most expensive component in a quilt is the down, and that all comes from China. Peking duck, anyone?

"The China thing" is real. A lot of down comes from eastern Europe.

Thanks for the follow up.
Chevron baffles just like Mr. Fletcher’s Trailwise sleeping bags from the late 60s.

I ordered a Torrid Apex jacket the morning of the 17th and tracking shows it in my local post office about 1.5 hr ago so it may be delivered tomorrow. I was expecting it sometime in mid December but apparently I beat the rush.

You are right. Anyone can buy down anyway.
Real value added was design and sewing. Guess US workers will still be able to use the vacuum to pour the China down in the China shell.
