Only a loser cares about brand reputation.

its probably not worth paying 10x the price for 10% better performance unless you are some ultra hardcore retard nigger

The best brand is the one you can afford

Anon12/29/25, 09:55No.2855652

Overpriced and Gore-Tex is debatable depending on the context. I stopped using them for shoes.

Arcteryx is super overpriced, and if you hadn't noticed they literally started a line of super expensive urban street wear, like Balenciaga-level bizarre fashion shit.Most of the legit stuff is little cottage brands you might find on Garage Grown Gear or even Etsy.Mountain Hardwear is still pretty legit, they never sold out and switched to street wear like half the other major brands, and aren't stupid expensive. Like, North Face petty much just sells to college girls now. Arc'teryx is trying to go the other way to maintain a "premium" imprint by chasing fashion fags and crazy rich asians. Ultimately the actual outdoor climbing and trekking scene is a limited market and to keep growing you have to start selling to domestic normies eventually or you'll reach market saturation. Marmot is owned by a private equity firm now and their quality has since been trashed. Patagonia is hit or miss: the quality is the same as the other major brands but you pay extra to say it's "fair trade" or something. The REI and MEC store-brands are actually pretty good value for money. I hear Mountain Hardwear dodged a bullet by getting acquired by Columbia, which is an outdoor clothing brand which already catered to normies - so they left Mountain Hardware alone to focus on the premium "alpine athlete" market. Black Diamond and Mammut are pretty good. Outdoor Research is hit or miss but can be good value.

Arcteryx is vastly overpriced but it’s very high quality. It’s a cheap ticket for the rich to into high quality gear without really knowing anything about it. You don’t need to have friends recommending something, you just spend hundreds of dollars more for a brand name that is also performant.It’s also a nice gift for the rich to give their poor /out/ friends. Or occasionally for the poor /out/ to find as something on sale

>dirtbagging brands? Pull your lip over your head and swallow you retard gorilla nigger. Ask your mother for a 99th trimester abortion; play IRL Frogger; do a flip, faggot; take a long walk off a short pier; toaster bath, take 100 Tylenol; drink bleach; rip a gasoline bong; stick a fork in an outlet; suck start a shotgun.Jesus Christ, stop this retard gorilla nigger from stealing oxygen that the rest of us could use.

Lol I just found my 13-14 year old saga jacket and a level 1 crew neck in my basement. If the saga still had any shred of waterproofing left I’d still wear it

>tr00 kvlt core dirtbagging brands i don't know what that means, but i just buy helikon tex

Real dirtbaggers lurk thrift stores. I got a decent Kelty 1P tent for $10, an Outdoor Research rain jacket for like $6, an M1949 sleeping bag for $10, and a UL inflatable sleeping pad for $3. My greatest score was probably my Dana Designs Arcflex Terraplane for $10.

Does their stuff actually work when properly uses? Yes Is it expensive? Fuck yesIf you understand how materials work for their given environment/layer you can find cheaper alternatives. I would suggest looking at Military gear (material wise) as there's lots of research as to what materials work and don't work and then you work your way backwards.

>tr00 kvlt core dirtbagging Someone explain to me what any of this means

If I had limitless cash to spend on gear I'd probably be wearing head to toe Outdoor Research, Patagonia and MSR. Osprey backpack, La Sportiva shoes and Darn Tough socks

>what are some tr00 kvlt core dirtbagging brands? The Chinese-made fake milsurp sold at your local Milsurp Store that's about 2 weeks away from going out of business, owned by an obese racist boomer woman wearing a Chinese-made MAGA hat.
