Bean controls the manufacturing for most of their stuff. They only recently started selling other brands in some product categories. They built their business on quality and customer service. I would not hesitate to buy camping equipment from them. I think they're now offereing free shipping on all mail/internet orders, too.

p.s. While you're at Tysons, get pizza from Luciano, next to Lord & Taylor. It's really good, real NY pizza. And the ladies room in L&T (ground floor by the baby clothes) is really nice.
