A pile of dedicated, hard workers were displaced the day they closed the doors of that factory. The only thing that went down with that business move was the quality of their product, the price sure didn't! LaCrosse waders used to be top of the line stuff, now I might as well buy a pair of Gander Mt waders. They are made in essentially the same place and the quality is the same now as well, I save about $50 buying the G Mt brand.
