USA Gear Companies

[Logan80]

I try to buy American made whenever possible. Below are some companies I've done business with.

American Veteran owned and American Made hunting gear.

T & K Hunting Gear

Veteran owned company that specializes in manufacturing nylon hunting gear in the United States

www.tandkhunting.com

American Veteran owned and made by mostly women in disadvantaged countries. Lots of money donated to educating those women and children and trying to change their lives through education.

Combat Flip Flops - We Don't Pull Out.

All flip flops and shoes come with a LIFETIME WARRANTY. Our flip flops and sandals are made from leather, tubular nylon, and proprietary rubber to increase traction across any terrain. Lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects.

I've worn these boots for a long time for hunting. In my experience they are great for the price point. They have a few USA made options.

Berry Compliant Boots | Rocky Boots | Rocky

Berry Compliant Boots made for our military customers requiring USA Made boots. Get your Berry Compliant shoes with rugged durability. Free shipping.

www.rockyboots.com

These are made right here in Washington State. They can get pricey but they will make custom fitted boots for work or field use. Unfortunately their new line of "hunting" style boots are made in Europe, but I'm sure they are still quite good.

This company just makes general clothing items for the most part, but they are American Made. I've bought a couple items and the quality seems pretty good. The prices aren't bad either.

What defines a USA Gear Company?
Made in the USA, but with foreign "components"?
Or 100% American made with American Components?

Personally, I am ok with a mix, as I would like to see American manufacturing capacity grow.

I added the companies discussed below; please fact check the list as needed. I might have missed one or two.

Qualifications: How about: Majority of products (not just one or two) are American Manufactured?
In other words list companies that are focused on this, not just a product or two. ??

List of Companies:
Kifaru
FHF
Spott Hogg

Here on Rokslide, I highly recommend:
Pods8 for making custom stuff, he does stitch work, look him up or send a PM. I’ve purchased a couple nalgene pockets for mine and a buddy’s packs. Top quality work and good price.
LivetohundID makes custom rails and ARCA plates. I have one of his titanium plates, top notch and priced right.

Thanks for the info, really appreciate this

SPEC-OPS BRAND.
Extremely well made, fully USA made and sourced. There stuff has been in the sandbox since 2003, in most cases they survive several deployments and then get carried every day afterward.

sandals for my wife as a substitute for Crocs. So far we are very impressed and I’m ordering some more pair for the kids and to use as backpacking camp shoes. They are very light and comfortable.

Might not be what you were thinking or asking for but kong coolers and grizzly coolers are both made in the Midwest! I think pelican is made in the us as well but can’t confirm right now.

I discovered Loco Libre Gear today. They appear to be another source for quality quilts. Dutchware Gear just announced Loco Libre will be using a new lightweight fabric supplied by Dutch.
