How do they compare to Patagonia, Arc'teryx and TheNorthFace products?

Patagonia is imo in the hall of fame of bifl, good quality and they repair what's broken

The north face is basically the same quality as Columbia but more expensive they have shifted their focus from solid reliable outdoors gear to more streetwear products so it's not really worth it I'd say

Never tried arc'teryx

Yup I agree my 2¢ you don’t need to pay the extra $ for arc’teryx because unless you are mountaineering or doing a lot of skiing it’s not gonna be used up to it’s potential

Struggling with choice paralysis over brands here, as those mentioned + Fjallraven, Eddie Bauer, and Carharrt are the top ones mentioned in this subreddit
