    I ended getting my suit from Seaskin, for less than $1000, custom fit, including shipping and import taxes. If you do get one of those, specify SiTech valves, as it is hard to get hoses to fit Apex in the US. http://www.seaskin.co.uk/

    Aside from a few odds and ends, Halcyon gear is.

    James,
    "H" is an American company, that is true. However they carry European made LED lights. At least know your facts a bit.

    Where are their scooters made? Or their regs?

    (I believe it's Italy and Italy.)

    I am doubting there are any companies that are 100% american and not using Chinese or Asian components especially electronics. even spring straps on my old fins were made no where near north america. Please correct me if i am wrong on the electronics.

    Having a 100% made in US product to include all components is rare with today's global market. The more complex the product the less likely to be all US as well. As an example our drivers are made in the US however the components to make the drivers I know some of them can't be sourced from a US manufacturer because there aren't any. So I guess it is a matter of how someone defines it and to what detail.
