Just my 2 cents

I just looked up the Revoke Pros and you're totally right about them being made off-shore. I could've sworn they were Canadian-made because of the high price tag. Then again I was making a comparison to an off-shore Vaughn pad that costs several hundred dollars less.
As for the North American-made equipment, even though they're more expensive and harder to find, I still prefer to buy them. I started out cheap with a $99 special Brian's DX5 (Made in Thailand) Catcher from The Hockey Shop and I couldn't catch anything. I upgraded to a Brian's Focus and I've had fewer problems snagging pucks and I don't get as many stingers.
