They all used to be US made, once the company boomed they flipped where the bags were made without disclosing it. Yeah they have tags saying where, but being a Montana company and advertising Bozeman, MT is slightly misleading. My buddies and I were still buying their stuff and after closer examination realized it was all phillipines made. I take alot of pride in Montana and I think Mystery Ranch uses that as a front to sell cheaply made gear at a higher rate.Did you just say and imply mystery ranch isn't quality because they're built in the Philippines?
First off, I hope you didn't mean that the way you wrote it.
Second, they're made in USA, Vietnam, and the Phillys. They also have tags which say which place each pack was built, they openly disclose that to the public.
Third, I think mystery ranch quality is known world wide and has quite a large amount of positive feedback for being bomb proof and reliable.
And yes I am implying anything made in the phillipines is lesser quality than USA made, except maybe authentic phillipino food. Are you implying that phillipine made gear is better than USA made gear, say like EXO or stone glacier? Because I assure you it's not. I've used sitka, EXO, Kifaru MR, Kuiu, have buddies with stone glaciers and of all of them, the stones, Kifaru, and Exo have the best craftsmanship hands down. You wont find lose stitching and threads hanging out new from the store, not to mention the customer service of these companies is top notch, and gets fixed by US hands on US soil if there is ever a problem. Change my mind.
