Most of them are made in Asia now. Eureka Backpaking 1-person, for example (I think all Eurekas). Vietnamese tents without brand names are much worse, even though sometimes look decent and cost accordingly (from $90 up). Fragile plastic clips, regular steel sleeves on fiberglass poles, zippers that stop working due to dust and salt deposits and so on. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
