Or, to be politically correct, of a different level of quality. Not better or worse, just different. I can see how that would automatically turn off consumers. As with any product, if its bad quality, consumers would take their business to competitors. That doesn't mean that the other products of that unfortunate company are bad however...

elevation 1 Report post Posted March 27, 2010 exactly what I wanted to say...it's the DESIGN...I don't care about them being made in China...what interests me more is, what will happen to the pro style RBKs/Jofas...??? Will RBK produce them now (in China ;-)...will we then be able to buy RBK pro stuff easier than Jofas or are pros all going Warrior..? Will there be a sellout on Jofa pads in Sweden now (I HOPE!!!!)...But it's so sad to see them going down...I still have Jofa shins and elbows at my parents house...they are 30 years old...I really grew up with Jofa :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
