The Tip is 'Before You Buy' Made in America Secrets tries to send you to internet stores that sell the Made In USA products you searched for. We try to link you directly to only Made In USA products, however sometimes this does not happen. When you click our banner / link ads the store we link you to may show you products that are imported alongside those that are Made In USA. We all know most retailers sell products that are made and come from all over the world including the USA. Therefore, our tip is look at the details before you buy the product. This is true for both brick and mortar stores and internet retailers. Any Made in America store that represents selling only Made in USA products can be believed but check them anyway. They will appreciate your help. Here is a great example of a very reputable Made in America Store. Our site is similar to a few others that I call "Indexers". These sites offer lists like an index. These indexes relate companies to the products they sell. There are a few, like this site, that provide an index of Made in America companies and their products. You can use the indexes (like I have done at times) to find a particular product and the companies that make it. Our site has many features like our buy tips that are unique and valuable. We add buying tips regularly so don't forget to check them out, as they will help you find and buy great Made In America products. Some of these sites are a good resource if you are looking for the manufacturer of a specific product. However you should first check their accuracy because some are not maintained as well as others. Some allow inaccurate and inappropriate ads, others like Made In America Secrets maintain the accuracy of their indexes and do not allow inappropriate advertisements. We continually try to improve our links and we solicit your help and ideas to make our site even better. You can contact us by email, mail, or phone and we will try our very best to respond promptly. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Batwaves We were started by a group of snowboarders back in the 80's in Sandpoint, Idaho. Nothing on the market was able to take a beating and still keep people's hands warm and dry. The result of a lot of research and development was a mitt with a solid design and necessary features called the Batmitt. The design became popular with snowboarders all up and down the west coast (for more on Batmitts, click here) Later, the design evolved into several different mitt designs including the Winger, Half Pipe, Split Finger (Lobster Claw), & Trigger Finger models. Batmitts were worn by some of snowboarding's greatest legends including Tex Davenport & Jeff Fulton, both members of the famed Baker Hardcore. Other huge names in the industry that played a role in research & development on the Batmitt include Anton Pogue, Jay Liska and Nate Holland. Batwaves stopped production for a time, but we have been back in production since 2007. We currently manufacture Batmitts and Wingers, as well as a new Park Model mitt. These are the same mitts that the early legendary riders and countless others developed over a period of 20 years. Del Sanborn, one of the people responsible for the original design and manufacturing of the Batmitt, has played an integral role in getting these mitts back into production. Del has assisted in ensuring that our mitts surpass the standards set by Batwaves during the 80's & 90's. Our mitts are made in Sandpoint, Idaho with materials that are entirely made in the USA. Manufacturing the mitt locally allows us to ensure quality and consistency. Purchasing our materials from US manufacturers ensures we are putting the best quality materials into our product. |
