Current model ABC 10 made in USA?

[Dr. Lecter]

I've recently purchased a new Halcyon ABC weight system, and while I understand things change, the stitching and materials just feel off to me compared to my other H wings and weight systems. On the inside of one of the pockets is a "MADE IN CHINA" tag; before I go bust my dealer's balls...is it possible this is legit? I thought all H gear was USA made, but I don't want to start throwing around counterfeit accusations without good cause. Thanks much for any help.

I also recently purchased a pair of these and found the same, well-hidden tag inside the pocket, so it's not just yours.

Thanks for being a Halcyon customer. Your support is truly valued. While all our systems, wings, marker buoys and most of our products are manufactured in our North Florida factory, a few accessory items are produced overseas by our USA based vendors. While not 100% made in America, please be assured most of the parts, assemblies and the systems are made by our team of professionals in Florida. Thanks again for choosing Halcyon.

If somewhere in there was an answer to the question I actually posed, I missed it. Am I correct in assuming the ABC 10 system is among those "few accessory items . . . produced overseas"? If so, cool, but a straight answer rather than a piece of defensive waffling would be nice.

I apologize if my answer was not clear or direct enough for you. I thought you might be interested to learn more about Halcyon and our Florida manufacturing facility. So to be crystal, yes some of the ABC pockets are manufactured overseas.

Have fun diving.
