Manufacturing

No page on garneau.com states current manufacturing countries; the about-us and FAQ pages only say the company 'engineers products in Canada', which describes design rather than where garments are sewn. Estimated split assumes most jerseys, shells, shoes and helmets are made in Asia, consistent with the technical cycling apparel industry, with a smaller share of Quebec-based production; could not confirm whether the historical Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures sewing operation survived the 2022-2023 CCAA restructuring.
- About Us · the vendor's own site “We engineer products in Canada and create initiative through innovations that encourage new riders to join our community.”

No sourcing breakdown is published for the Garneau line itself. The Sugoi brand's own history, told on the same site, describes researching technical fabric in Japan, and high-performance cycling textiles are predominantly sourced from Asian mills industry-wide, so the estimate weights inputs toward OTHER with small allowances for Canadian and European materials.
- About Sugoi · the vendor's own site “It was in Japan, while researching the most incredible fabric available, that they learned that the word "incredible" translates to "sugoi" in Japanese.”
