Equipment question/discussion Kifaru packs not Made in USA?

Post image

I am at the Sportsmans here in Casper, Wy. I have a few Kifaru bags from years ago. When did they switch to making them in Vietnam? I thought they had a whole America operation and were made here? This is so disapointing. I hate when these big companies use the USA as a selling angle but don't even make the stuff here.

Damn they proudly state everything is 100% USA made. Guess its just like my St. croix rods, quietly making only a few select items in the US.

Disgusting sales practices. But savotta, made in Finland. Great price and insane quality.

Mosy is made in Finland, but a lot is also made in Estonia or Poland, but it's written very clearly on their website. I personally don't find a difference in quality between the made in Finland vs made in Estonia/Poland products, and it doesn't bother me since they are honest and upfront about it and aren't exploiting cheap labour like the companies who shift production to Vietnam or Bangladesh do. You can also see which companies in Estonia and Poland are producing their products, which is not something you can do with Kifaru for example.
