Teton Sports sells canvas tents, including bell tents and a cabin tent called the Teton Sports Mesa (hands-on review).

Because many companies have headquarters in the U.S., there is often confusion on where their products are actually made (in the USA or overseas).

I edited out the carton and PO# in case that was sensitive information.

This applies to many canvas tent sellers, including Kodiak (China) and White Duck Outdoors (Pakistan). Springbar is the only springbar-style tent made in the U.S. (they also have an imported line).

The TETON Sports line of tents includes a10x10 and 10x14 canvas tent. Features a D-shaped door, but no real other differentiators.

Teton Sports Alternative Made in the USA?

Springbar is the original Springbar-style tent (hence the name), and they have a line of tents (Springbar USA) that are made in the U.S).

They also have a Chinese-manufactured line, but with better materials (metal stake loops) compared to the Teton Sports Mesa.

I wrote about the best canvas tents where I compare several brands of tents.

Does it Matter Where the Tent is Manufactured?

How and where a tent is manufactured can impact quality and design.

For example, here are the tent stakes provided by Teton Sports after 1 use. On the other hand, I have Springbar stakes that have 3+ years on them and look in better condition.

In addition, quality control will be much different in the U.S. factory vs a Chinese factory.

However, in reality, not everyone can afford a tent 3x the cost to support American manufacturing.

In addition, some imported tents can be better or better than some U.S.-made products. Experience over years of manufacturing may be more important in some cases than where it’s made.

Kodiak is a great alternative to Teton Sports with a few upgrades in quality (metal stake loops) at a similar price.
