I bought one of these to replace a lost Alpha SV that I bought in 2005.. it came and I was excited to open it and wear it.  However, upon looking at the tag inside and reading the words "Made in China" I imedatly contacted Amazon and arranged to return it.  I could almost live with it being made in China like the rest of the crap you can buy at REI or Dicks if the price was $200.. but for $600 I expect much more, and Western made.

I subsequently ordered a Westcomb Mirage and find it to be even better, especially with the superior eVent material that keeps me cooler in warmer water or when I'm working hard physically.
