Good that you didn't include Jack Wolfskin. Had a few things, really shitty quality.

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.

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

Orthovox is missing as well. They are German.

I can only recommend La Sportiva hiking, trekking and mountains shoes. Great quality.

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?

Husky is missing on that list

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.

My Swedish Didriksons jacket is still holding strong since I bought it in 2016

Also, Huppa is Estonian and makes good jackets.

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

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

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Love my Norrรธna jacket. Very comfy and well made.
