CLAM ICE SHELTER QUALITY

Guys have you noticed that Clam's quality control has fallen by the way side . I bought a Jason Mitchell 5000 Thermal last week. Ive used it once. Theres not one panel on the tent that matches up sewing wise. Some of the seams are half an inch below where they should be. When I asked Clam they told me that was within tolerance. I found that strange.  Ive also broken two zipper handles so far. One from the door and one off of the carrying bag. The metal the zipper handles are made of ,are like tin. They bend very easily. Sure miss when products were made in the good old United States .And not in China

I looked at several Clams this year and noticed some flaws on the display models.  I know what you are talking about and I read about stories saying Clam is in a decline.  So I saved up more and bought an Otter.  I haven't looked back since.

Im starting to think the same. The Ottor look real nice
