Guess they want to make people boycott the store with products they actually use when there are limited to no other quality brands doing the same products. Or is there an alternative people can offer instead of saying, yep patagonia sucks, the North face sucks, yeti sucks. Ok... which ones are reliable??
Reliability is easy to search up; many people who are enthusiasts in any given hobby or require for their jobs don't even use major brand stuff because major brand stuff tends to cheap out a lot more.
Example would be heavy duty carabiners. You can get some heavy ass duty reinforced steel carabiners with locks for close to the same prices as major brand equivalents.
It just takes time to search for reviews, impressions and expertise.
