U.S. Equipment Manufacturers? (Dream to Reality?)

[SirSkankin DBA]

Hey Everyone,

So, I am finding that it is time to put up or shut up. As some of you may remember, I was working on two different prototypes and they are both functioning (one rack ready) and it is time to move it or attempt to move it to the next step.

I am compiling a list of U.S. based equipment companies. Primarily, companies that have armor in their line like the armored compression shirts and the like. Since, I realize that I do not know all of the manufacturers in general, I thought BARF may be able to help out. So far, I have:


Icon
EVS
Kali Protectives
Joe Rocket
Scorpion
Cycle Gear (though, they are not a "manufacturer, they have Bilt and Sedici)

Can you think of anyone I may be missing? Also, it does not have to be exclusively motorcycle. Could be opened to Mountain Bikes, Snowboarding and the like...the more extreme type sports.

Thanks in advance

But you could put down Vanson and Bates as American companies.

I think people are mistaking "US based companies", vs "Made in the USA". Most of Cycle Gears product lines they carry as "house brand" are made outside of the US.

You're saying OP meant gear companies that have a presence in the US?

It seemed OP wanted to know "Murikan companies. :dunno
