That was exactly the problem with my bibs I my butt was getting wet

Well if you would stand up and actually ride once in a while, you might not get that wet. Or quit getting stuck so you're not always trenching through the snow.

.... If you're talking apples to apples instead of comparing how cheap the CHEAPEST coat was 5 years ago compared to the most EXPENSIVE ones now... Valdez was $399 5 years ago. Today it is $425.

It is called the cost of production in such a small niche market. Now you know why company's outsource. What is scary is even at that price i am sure their profit margin is still really pretty small.

I highly doubt it. They outsource to other countries for a reason, BECAUSE OF CHEAP LABOR AND MATERIALS. Labor & material costs in other countries are on average 1/5 of their costs in the U.S.
I wouldn't be surprised if a Klim coat cost $20 to make. Their markup is because YOU Klim buyers fall for it, hook/line and sinker.... If YOU, the Klim lover, didn't buy their junk, then THE PRICES WOULDN'T BE GOING UP.
They're in fantasyland if they think I'm going to pay $2k for a full Klim outfit, although I do see suckers out on the hills all Klim'ed out. But you know the funny part? I'm JUST AS WARM and can move as freely in my $200 outfit as they can, HAHAHA, SUCKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You're out of you're ever loving mind if you think it's that cheap to produce

Does anyone know if Motorfist is made in USA? The price is like everything else these days... If I could keep Americans working I would look hard at changing my gear to Motorfist..
