I recently purchased the Women's Alpha Core SL Base Layer, Women's Thermoregulator LS Base Layer, and Women's Alpine Thermal Bibs. While the quality of the garments seems decent, and I appreciate the unique features like the thermal bib shorts with cargo pockets (not readily available from other brands), I was disappointed to find that all three items were made in the Philippines.
Given Pactimo's strong emphasis on sustainability and ethical practices on their website, I expected a higher level of transparency regarding manufacturing locations. This lack of disclosure feels like a form of greenwashing.
I understand that many cycling apparel brands utilize overseas manufacturing. However, I believe consumers should have the right to make informed decisions about where their products are made. For reference, I own higher-quality cycling kits from another brand that are manufactured in the USA at a similar price point.
I hope Pactimo will consider improving their transparency regarding manufacturing locations in the future.
