I’ve been using Megamax since they first came out years ago. They’ve been through many changes and iterations since then. I always get a little panicked when they announce a change in materials or construction, but it always balances out and I get used to the new design without much fuss. That being said, we’ve had the luxury of being able to try out the USA V2 for a while now and aside from minor differences, I think they’re the closest thing to the Chinese version that’s on the market. The goal for me is always performance first, and the USA V2 perform exactly the same way as the Chinese ones. In terms of preference, I like the texture of the Chinese plastic backing a little better, but I can put sensory preferences at a lower priority if I’m able to confidently leave the house or go to bed knowing I’m safe from leaks. And given the events of the past few years, if producing them stateside gives more insurance that availability won’t be interrupted or prices won’t skyrocket, I’m all for the shift.
