      Mammut is fairly common in shops catering to non-tourists. Some of the American brands listed (Mountain Hardware and Columbia) are not brands people entrust their lives to.

      SOURCE: I live in Wyoming. Only tourists wear Columbia.

      PS: My wife should be sponsored by Rab. It’s all she wears in the winter.

      I’m switching a lot to mammut. Their clothes are like nothing i have ever worn before. Their ultralight clothing line is like wearing nothing.

    Don’t get anything made of GoreTex as that is produced by American company W. L. Gore & Associates. Fjellräven has decent cotton products that lasts. Personally I prefer Norwegian brand Bergans. You also have Härkila (finish) and Klättermusen (Swedish) last one primally focuses on light weight climbing gear

      Don’t get GoreTex because it’s using PFAS chemicals which are harmful to the nature we’re out there to enjoy.
