Who cares? If the quality is good - and everything WAS I've owned has been - what does it matter? I mean, Nike trainers aren't made in the USA, they are made in Chinese, Vietnamese or Indonesian sweatshops. Doesn't stop people paying top dollar for them.
DerDer Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 Wouldn't be surprised in the least. Some Blackhawk kit was made in Vietnam. Eagle industries kit in the Dominican republic. Keeping the costs down.
Enid_Puceflange Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 Is that you Kicking Mustang? first post under a fresh name & starting to kick up more shit!! ?
Guest DrAlexanderTobacco Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 Having kit made in China is not a particularly huge exposé.
GenuineGerman Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 Most textiles are made in China, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. Doesn’t mean it’s bad quality actually they make some quality textiles just check the designer clothes some might wear
Chev Chelios Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 Dam they should make stuff in the US like they do with Airsoft guns!

hitmanNo2 Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 Unless they claim to otherwise, who cares?
Oneshotscott Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 @morcam99 why don't you contact UK Tactical and find out if it is real? At the end of the day it is only an invoice. EDIT - I have emailed them regarding it as they should be aware of their information potentially being leaked.
Albiscuit Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 People always incorrectly assume ‘made in China’ = Chinese clone crap. Why can’t they build something of quality? Doesn’t bother me in the slightest tbh
AlphaBear Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 If I’m reading this right the cost price of a Warrior DCS plate carrier is $40!!! Retail is about £140!! Hmmmm

Hmmmm Yeh, but they ain't selling tens of thousands of them. Sports Direct they are not. Gotta keep the lights on and the staff paid somehow.
AlphaBear Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 I’m not knocking the modest markup it’s only 250% Besides, we all know Warrior kit is good. Let’s face it’s the next best thing to Crye in terms of quality and durability. Who cares where it’s made.
Albiscuit Posted February 24, 2021 Posted February 24, 2021 Capitalism... a markup is not all profit though, there’s a lot of other costs involved. But cmon, they have to make money and it’s still a (relatively) value for money product
lukeB Posted February 24, 2021 Posted February 24, 2021 Take off the usual uktactical discount of 10%, postage and vat and that DCS is really selling for just over £100. Uktactical probably buys from WAS for around £75 and sells for a typical 30% retail markup. WAS pays £40 but has to cover shippping from china, import tax?, r&d, design, testing, storage etc. Both have overheads and profit to make. I'd imagine it's those juicy contracts that pay full rrp that drive the profits tho.

If it comes as a surprise that it is made in China it's because WAS gear is a bit overhyped. Its good stuff, don't get me wrong, but its certainly not "bomb proof" as I like to bore people with, the only bit of tactical nylon i've actually managed to break was a WAS pouch. I put it on par with other chinese brands be it TMC or flyye or whatever, (but not like 8fields or w/e). Some WAS stuff is well priced - some of their stuff seems to have a massive mark up. I'd buy WAS stuff again sure but you can do cheaper, you can do better, and for some stuff you can do both... just imo.

"remember the equipment you are using was designed by some of the finest minds our nation has to offer, and then outsourced to the cheapest bidder" which applies to militaries and space programs alike
