Super great options for those who have dietary restrictions. Highly recommend including this brand too.

What a thorough and informative article on Canadian (and other) outdoor gear companies!!
So often we don’t know the history behind very familiar brands and companies. Now we do.
À very interesting read.

Yes, I saw that news. There’s a note in the Helly Hansen section of this article about the sale.

Been prefering them to Arcteryx equivalent even. Plus it’s often cheaper for the same quality. 🙂 Definitely recommend having a look:

I see that you have indicated these sales, but to avoid confusion you should delete logos and listing American and other non-Canadian brands.

They produce high quality backcountry skiing gear and products aimed at summer hikers. They also take their ecological responsibility seriously.
