love of fuck, stop using this meme template with canadian douchebag/pedo
As a Canadian, I agree.
So many different alternatives
Drake is a rapist fuck. Use another template.
Just bought the oldest kid their first sleeping bag: From Nordisk rather than Marmot.
I thought the north face was a niche podcast group when I first saw the logo (I live outside of USA and EU) and was REALLY disappointed when I learned it’s just the same thing as Gucci or something
North Face used to have good products, then got big and especially during COVID when a lot of middle class took up outdoor activities during travel restrictions it went the way of patagucci
Orthovox is missing as well. They are German.
I can only recommend La Sportiva hiking, trekking and mountains shoes. Great quality.
Vaude is missing too.
My Swedish Didriksons jacket is still holding strong since I bought it in 2016
My kids Didriksons winter suit lasted two long seasons (6 months of snow) of constant abuse until she grew out of it.
Also if you’re in the market for a new tent, Bergans makes a decent one
As a Norwegian, it hurts to say this but Hilleberg also make excellent tents.
Pricey buy you buy once and cry once.
Jesus 10000,- for a 3 person tent? Bit rich for my blood. I can recommend the one i linked to. It weighs very little and has served us well on several camping holidays in Denmark, Hordaland and Sogn og Fjordane. Equally good for wild camping as campsites and easily put up by one person. There’s also enough room in the bag to just stuff it in if you’re in a rush.
Idk about their new stuff but I can say my dad’s 30+ years old mammut jacket is absolutely unkillable. Really well made with some kevlar pads on the shoulders, elbows etc. It did lose some insulation over time though
Love my Norrøna jacket. Very comfy and well made.
Although quite expensive, I like Jack Wolfskin. Or how I prefer to call it Jacque Peaudeloup.
Petzl is missing, they are French.
To be fair, Patagonia is more ethical than some of the EU ones, all things considered.
(Although it’s absolutely ridiculously expensive)
Its not any more expensive than some of the European stuff haha
Scarpa is another good euro outdoor equipment brand
I absolutely love Scarpa. They make the only footwear that really, really, fits my weird feet off the shelf. I just wish they made ski boots for the sane.
The last time I needed to get a jacket, I did some Internet searches and asked in three different stores, one name kept popping up every single time: Vaude seems to take this whole sustainability thing quite serious, manufactures part of their collection in Germany and guarantees fair conditions for work they outsourced.
What’s with Vaude?
