  • How Good Is Rei Brand Equipment/gear?
    • ]]>     I am on a boycott against everything not made in America, and i have been for about 2 months. I really enjoy backpacking and I could use some new gear, but it has to be made in USA. my current mountain hardwear sleeping bag was made in china, and my north face backpack was made in vietnam. i have already determined i am going to buy a western mountaineering sleeping bag, because it is made in America, and my local hiking store employee told me one particular model could pack down into a Nalgene bottle. (nalgene is made in USA!!!) what brand of backpack is made here though? i haven’t looked into them yet because my North Face one is still pretty new. is kelty made here? i have also decided which portable single burner stove i want. i think it is MSR and made in USA, as opposed to the coleman made in china. i would really appreciate a list of brands if you know of one. Thanks and remember to buy American, and Have Fun Out There!!!
