Like Ole 270 I've had mine since spring 2005-I knew they were Chinese said so on the label in the tongue. I've used them turkey, deer hunting every year since then and the're still waterproof. My White's smokejumpers didn't even seal against dirt around the sole until I had them rebuildt and the're a 400 dollar made in the USA product. I think the Pronghorns are a fair buy for the money.
