ST, I found that out the hard way a couple years back!  Name brand boots were Chinese knock-offs that fell apart after a couple days in the park. Never again! Jimbo  8-)

I knew you'd know what I was referencing  ;D
I've done it too. I bought a "wool" anorak for a price that was to good too.

The pictures/description made it sound like a steal.
Turned out it was made in China. The "wool" was actually just some-kind of synthetic they "fuzzed" up.

I actually was pretty well made and looked fit well.
But it was just a glorified hooded sweatshirt.
Gave it to a lady friend who is always cold.
