My team kit (not pro replica) is manufactured in St Paul, Minnesota, USA ...
Podiumwear (
reference my post earlier in this thread) ... and it is much better material, manufacturing, and design than the mass-produced pro replica kits ... or the freebee charity ride kit for that matter.
Reading some of your other posts in this thread, I think you understand the differences between entry level (low $) and quality kit (higher $$$). And I will say that there are diminishing returns as you spend more-and-more. Therefore, for a recreational rider, there's no real value in spending top $$$ on a kit (except possibly the logos on the kit).
