I have a hard time with it being a Puerto Rico company. Not that I have anything against Puerto Rico, I just don't like that they evade federal taxes -- and I think it's very shady that they claim to be a Montana company but they are definitely a Puerto Rico company. I'm not sure if it even matters smh I attached their corporate docs from Puerto Rico

What’s the downside of Puerto Rico? That is America right?

My wife bought me a full First Light set of rain gear that was made in China (I returned it all), does Chinese made First Light contribute more to the US economy than Forlough?

Did you just sign up to whine about FORLOH?

Just to clarify Forloh is a 100% Montana born and operated corporation. I’m sure Babybear is just one of the competition out there trying to hurt the only true 100% Made in USA technical outdoor brand. Forloh Inc. Is registered in the state of Montana, Its headquarter is in Whitefish Montana, Its customer service center is in Whitefish Montana, Its retail store is in Whitefish Montana, and its Warehouse is in Columbia Falls Montana. Forloh Inc. pays Montana state and Federal corporate taxes and utilizes a supply chain that is around 2000 USA workers, touching and making our products in one way or form. Not to mention though folks, Puerto Rico is part of the USA, so even if Forloh manufacturing was doing anything down there, which they are not, then it would still be supporting USA jobs both on island and on the mainland USA. Buy USA!!!
I’ve seen several people talking Forloh down. The ones that have either don’t own a single piece of their gear or have just flat out lied. The only thing I don’t own is the rain gear and I’ll have that too soon enough. I’m in no way “against“ the other brands. But it is actually made and every piece sourced in America. They even developed processes new to the industry. They are having a hard time bringing some products to market because they have to do things differently since they refuse to go outside the US. I am proud to support this company and can tell you first hand their products are absolutely top shelf.

We have got some great innovative Brands in NZ but cant bring myself to buy any more Communist Chinese made products. Have purchased and received the The new Clima Rain Jacket, looks good. Waiting to get out of lock down to put it through its paces. looks like a USA made 800+ down jackets maybe on there way from Forloh which i will be eyeing up when they come out.

This is my first year hunting since I was a youngster with my pops. I live in Idaho and had no hunting gear at all. I did alot of research and decided to buy Forloh. I went all out and bought a set of rain gear, the long johns regular pants and jacket, and the nice thermo jacket. Not only is it made in the USA but I can honestly say I don't regret dropping that kind of coin. The stuff is very very well made and thought out. I can see this gear lasting a lifetime and it has a lifetime garuntee. I bought the wrong size jacket and they returned it after the 30 days were up when I first purchased. Customer service is awesome also. Just my 2 cents

Forloh is 100% USA made, and based in Montana. HQ is in MT, incorporated in MT, customer service is in MT, warehouse MT, Founder MT, flag ship store MT. So…

You won’t be disappointed. Full of technology to make your warm weather adventure more comfortable. Brrr Pro, with cooling minerals built into the fiber, that keep your skin temperature 3.5F cooler, and also expand the wicking ability of the fabric by 700%. And our staple base layer scent control system if Polygiene anti microbial and Odor Crunch which attacks odor molecules and turns them into Carbon Dioxide, expelling them from the fabric. You can buy the shirt with or without InsectShield, which creates a zone around your body keeping ticks, mosquitoes and other insects away. We have all this same tech in the lightweight pants that pairs with the shirt. Hope this helps.

Well, I looked. It’ll be good while before I own anything. Sure is expensive to not really add anything others can’t. Combine that with too dark and too green camo (for my applications) and no used market to test out before dropping $xxx Not saying it’s bad, just that you have a few hurdles to jump.

Really? What 100% made in the USA technical hunting clothing is significantly less expensive? If you don't care about supporting American businesses that's fine, but there is a specific reason their gear is more expensive... it's not made in sweatshops overseas.

Interesting documents, but also proof of nothing. A lot of strong words for a keyboard warrior. Why dont you state your knowledge/proof of their supposed “evasion” and relation to the business??

Also, there are plenty of ways to run a business without paying taxes while being domiciled in the good old USA. I help companies set up those plans so its nothing new, and taxes will always be paid in the end at some point. There are no “endless loopholes”, so your point is mute there too.

Yeah, I knew y’all would get your panties in a twist. Recco reflectors… at that point someone is looking for my body and I no longer care.
