I was recently in the market for my first wetsuit. I decided to first check out your manufacturing plant (or so I thought) in the industrial park off of south second street. I quickly realized that it looked more like a storage warehouse than a manufacturing plant, but what do I know?
I trusted the reputation that the Henderson brand has and I felt that I was purchasing a locally manufactured product as per your website :
"Since every Henderson wetsuit is originally designed and manufactured at its USA factory, Henderson can provide warranty and repair services, unlike other brands that simply resell wetsuits designed and manufactured by companies outside the USA."
I got my suit, gloves, boots and hood and was very happy with the quality and fit of them, they seem to be everything I was looking for, but..... I wasn't as pleased to find the "made in china" label on everything. I feel like at the very least the wording on your website is misleading to your consumers. I don't think that knowing beforehand that they were made in china would have changed my decision to buy Henderson products, but I wouldn't have felt that I was misled by your website as I do now.
Either way, I do believe you sell a great product, I only wish I could say that you make a great product as well.
