Found this on the Icarex spec sheet. They could have multiple plants. Teijin also has a partnership with Dupont so they could make some in the US. Manufacturer Teijin is the manufacturer of Icarex. Tejin is a very large manufacturer of all kinds of synthetic fibers and fabric (mainly polyester based fabrics), with offices around the world and a workforce of more than 20,000 people.

I'm also interested in knowing the answer since I do get asked a lot about fabrics..

Agreed about the lack of drama. I wasn't trying to start a "thing". If production had moved to China, I was legitimately curious as to when. No biggy.

I like popcorn also but I really don't feel there is any drama here; just me being wrong.. I've been wrong before..

I like popcorn.

There have been many kites offered with different sail cloths over the years, mostly dual liners....ikky vs poly versions for example. There were slight differences in performance.....at least given manufacturers specs...ikky versions usually had a lower wind range. Some Skyburner/Premier kites, Jam Session, Stranger and more. iirc PBSK offered up a few sail options for his line of kites.... Some sails just feel different in the air. I have a couple old "soft cloth" Rev 2's and a couple of newer "crispy cloth" 2's, and the soft cloth ones feel "smoother" in flight. Same with a new 1.5 sail vs an old 1.5 w/mylar....the mylar one feels "slicker". bt

Thanks for all of the input, I have decided to get a Vertigo Max.
