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.

I got a few Rab down jackets. When something damaged them I could send them over and for 20-30 euro including shipping back&forth they fixed them!

I really like this instead of buying a new one.

Are there other brands who do the same I wonder?

Haix did for my shoes.

Patagonia does. But it is American.

What happened to Trangia? I never see them anymore, its all gas stoves now in outdoor shops in the UK.

I normally use a kelly kettle, but those are quite large.

Husky is missing on that list

For hiking boots, I cannot recommend Hanwag enough. I've had their Alaska model for years and I'm very happy with them.

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 Norrรธna jacket. Very comfy and well made.

Although quite expensive, I like Jack Wolfskin. Or how I prefer to call it Jacque Peaudeloup.

Also, Huppa is Estonian and makes good jackets.
