I want the quality and craftsmanship that comes with "made in the USA" gear, but that means paying more at checkout. FORLOH outdoor clothing has a sale going on that gives you a chance to purchase quality, made-in-the-USA gear at affordable prices.

100% Made in the USA

When FORLOH says 'made in the USA,' they mean 100% of everything is done here in the U.S. They are one of the only hunting, fishing, and outdoor apparel brands that are genuinely 100% American-designed, sourced, and stitched in the United States. Every step—from fabric and thread sourcing to cutting, sewing, and distribution—all of it.

Proven On the Water

Being made in the USA translates to high-quality craftsmanship and superior products. I have several pieces of FORLOH tech clothing, and time on the water has convinced me that it's some of the best-made outdoor clothing on the market.

My "Everything" Base Layer

The Men’s Deep Space Shirt is the most comfortable and versatile base layer I wear.

I've worn it while wade fishing the salt in Cape Cod to guiding in Alaska. It is constructed with four-way stretch material, making it easy to move in. It keeps the chill out and wicks moisture away when I become overheated from climbing steep banks or bushwhacking. It's exceptionally comfortable next to the skin and features built-in scent control. I can wear it for a couple of days straight without smelling up the joint. It is my Swiss Army knife of base layers.

This is the FORLOH Men’s Deep Space LS Shirt. Cold or hot outside, I wear this as a base layer. If it's cold outside, I mix it with a Nuyarn wool t-shirt. If it's going to be hot, I wear it as the only base layer. | Photo by Geof Garth

When Down is Fly Fishing Gold

FORLOH has down vests and jackets that wear like pure luxury out in the field. You’ve heard the saying, “There’s no such thing as bad weather, just bad gear.” It’s a cliché—but it’s the truth. I’ve counted on a good down jacket to keep me warm while standing in a river on cold Alaska mornings. When it comes to down, you can’t beat what nature built.

Extra Protection While Fly Fishing

In other fishing locations, you have to contend with extreme heat. My wife will tell you I'm not the best at wearing sunscreen. When fishing in my backyard in the Low Country for redfish, it gets hot, stupid hot. I use the FORLOH sun hoodie to keep me protected. It doesn't replace sunscreen, but when I'm a bonehead and leave the sunscreen at home, it helps, and it definitely keeps me cooler than I would be without it.

I could go on and on about how FORLOH has come through for me in the field under real conditions. You can't beat made-in-the-USA quality gear – and that usually means it's expensive. This sale reduces the price to make it all more affordable, and I would jump on it before most sizes are gone. That down vest in FORLOH Green I wanted is already out of my size. Seize the day. KB
