love of fuck, stop using this meme template with canadian douchebag/pedo
As a Canadian, I agree.
So many different alternatives
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
Drake is a rapist fuck. Use another template.
made in china all over the place
Haix shoes are made in Serbia, iirc. I’m wearing nothing else since years. Once had a problem with the lace holders on a pair, they told me to send them back and actually repaired them. I’m kinda convinced.
Or Taiwan.
Just bought the oldest kid their first sleeping bag: From Nordisk rather than Marmot.
Polish 4F!
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
Congrat on feddit.uk for more than 50 answer to the buy EU group. Is it me or the growth is awesome lately? More people on Lemmy is nice but more like-minded people is even better.
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.
