What an insult to compare jiberish with ON3P and Moment. Those skis are made in America by Americans. do you have any idea how rare that is for any product?

Jiberish is no different than the sweatshirts you buy anywhere else, they just cost more

Thanks for all the great companies guys, I really appreciate it.

I'm just looking for some great American made ski companies, softgood companies, and outwear companies. Pretty much anything that caters to the freeskier/freerider community, that doesn't produce shitty stuff.

No. Flylow is made in China last I checked.

Trew was first made in Nepal but they moved manufacturing to Canada.

Pretty sure Trew went:

Canada to Nepal to Vietnam, which is where they are still doing their manufacturing last time I checked.

OP did say America-made in a later post, yeah. IMO local companies also should produce stuff locally, or at least in the same area to support the local economy. I'm not saying companies that make stuff overseas are bad, just not local.

Iggy, you're right. I thought my 09 Trew pants were made in Nepal but I just checked the tags and it says Canada. I thought I read on TGR that they moved production back to Canada though. I guess I'm wrong about that too. Anybody have a piece of last year's clothing to check? They never say online.

Moment

pretty bombproof skis, they ride a little stiff at first, but they wear in nicely at 15-20 days
