Outdoor describe and compare

Hardshell ( Emergency underwear )

Top : Mammut elephant ] , peakperformance ( now fake too much, genuine usually ¥ 8000 +.), Norrnoa [ Norway elderly head ( one word: expensive ; words: domineering ) .
Class : MHW large nut ] ( This is a pretty hard to do equipment brand ), arc'teryx [ Archaeopteryx , eider
Second-rate : VAUDE, karrimor, berghaus, Marmot marmot ] ( U.S. Pathfinder ), LL bean, millet, OR, rab, mont bell, OR, haglofs, Montane, patagonia [ Patagonia ] , The North Face [ North face ( on north face: manufacturers, there are good things there are bad things )
Of course, with the second-rate calculation , wearing patagonia, haglofs Mensao TNF levels nor is able to match. Even if you are wearing Archaeopteryx is not OK. These brands represent your brand awareness for outdoor . The so-called do not know do not know, know surprised. Moreover, this area is only in Jackets , others such as fleece , etc., etc. are still gorgeous photo of your dog blind eye ~

ps: patagonia cut in the current view is the best. OR something really good, but ugly, ugly !

Three streams: many domestic brands, such as KAILAS, K2summit, shehe etc.
Mediocre : columbia Columbia , nikko, Jackwolfskin wolf claws , etc., write here is not to say they are not mediocre stuff sucks ( although some really pretty bad ) , but the industry specializing in surgery , these are leisure brands . So, do not think it very NB these brands in the United States and China, Columbia Baleno almost.
Of course, some are below mediocre thorough cups or cottage brand , such as the American camels .

Climbing Footwear (backpacking, hiking, trekking)
Top : scarpa, La Sportiva

Most cost-effective : HBN rare step .
Class : kayland, asolo
Second-rate : lowa, mammut, garmont, crispi, AKU, vasque, gronell, Salomon, montrail ( cups ah , completely fallen )
Three streams: many domestic brands.
Mediocre : Columbia ...... Jackwolfskin ......
Altitude boots li , la Sportiva is the undisputed king. Do not you see above 8,000 meters are basically Olympus evo. Can do better also that several brands of high altitude boots , la sportiva, scarpa, millet, kayland, lowa , etc., etc.

Backpack
Legend : dana design
Top : gregory Gregory , osprey
Class : Vaude, karrimor, Granite granite , kelty ( which makes the pity )
Second-rate : arc'teryx Archaeopteryx ( even if it is in the clothing so NB, backpack prosperous class is simply a disaster ), MHW ( and Archaeopteryx as a big cup ), berghaus, MAMMUT ( and Archaeopteryx similar nature , I'm sorry many as nose mussels , but really is so spread ) , etc., etc. .
Three streams : deuter, marmot
Mediocre : the northface, many domestic brands and columbia
In fact, many Zoupian every package, such as cilogear ( lightweight model ), BD ( technology package large cattle ) , etc. is quite the same as the NB package . And I personally like the ortlieb, grivel, timbuk2 , etc., etc. .

Soft-shell
Top : norrona, stoic, peakperformance
Class : arc'teryx, patagonia, MHW, westcomb, MAMMUT
Second-rate : marmot, TNF , etc., etc. ......
Three streams: I will not say.
Look this stuff is pretty soft shell fabric, it really depends on workmanship ...... pole star better than the marmot , the domestic kroceus comparable to Archaeopteryx .

Underwear
Nothing to say, on those few brands icebreaker, patagonia, smartwool, terramar ......

Down category
Look down this stuff is too raw , and remove the legendary 900 bulkiness (900 fill) goose down , most to 800 degrees fluffy feather products is considered a top- up . Of course , the price is astronomical .

Of course, the fabric is also very important. Few fabrics can guarantee not to drill velvet . The market capacity is usually normal jacket containing only 50 % of the starting price is outdoor jacket 80%.

Say brand, I hesitated to compare small factory to put down three come . feathered friends, western mountaineering, nunatak, to be honest , it is difficult to buy , the influence is too low.

Common good example MAMMUT, marmot, MHW, in addition made ​​shehe also very good.

Tent
Tent with the same top three small factories , hillberg, stephenson's and bibler ( but was BD acquired )

stephenson's purely family workshop Well, usually it can not find this stuff , want to buy but also to build.

Personally think that a good tent or manufacturers , high-tech , warranty Han is also convenient.

There are currently able rafts : nemo, big anges, MSR ( fame greater than actual , of course, is a good thing ), BD, vaude, marmot, TNF ( rafts can finally have a world-class stuff )

Most make do with homemade tents , Mobi , kailas, luxe, K2 ...... you know, this stuff is expensive tents , but discount less . The price of a few hundred dollars to buy a tent is actually quite good.

You do not and I Ti Dika Lennon , that is the park level .

Alpenstock
Money to buy leki, BD, masters, no money to buy 30 one 's .

Water bag / cup
platypus platypus ] , MSR, source, camelbak [ hump , nalgene.

There are several in this election it. Which do cups best known camelbak, and nalgene are the same as manufacturers.







============================ Very thirty-eight dividing line ================ ======================



Grading is very subjective and not very accepted , tentatively to see it. . .





Outdoor brand classification roughly like this :
Top brands

1 Archaeopteryx (ARC 'TERYX): recognized as a top , its hard wear series has supreme supreme position. The brand is only the production of clothing and backpacks , whether it is the choice of materials or workmanship techniques are No.1. Jackets GTX XCR its three-layer adhesive , adhesive strip width is only 13 mm ( the industry standard 22 mm); stitch per inch to 16-pin ( pin industry standard is 6-8 ) . Industry standards are even subversive , you can only say : That is not a product , but " works ."

2 Groundhog (MARMOT): alpine equipment, top brands. It uses the best materials and technology, only high-end products , the quality is absolutely first class ! Down series its reputation ; its wholly seamless technology Jackets for climbers is a great choice.

3. MOUNTAIN HARD WARE: Short MHW. Needless to say this brand , top . Mainly in clothing and tents for the strength , especially clothing . Some people think that it is in research and development and work with Archaeopteryx par.

4. PATAGONIA: American brand, only the production of garments. Although there are plenty of leisure series, but also produces specialty gourmet outdoor clothing . Its design is very fit , fine workmanship. Fleece and Emergency underwear its every detail has carefully considered.

Premium brands

1 north (THE NORTH FACE): in China the most widespread impact of international brands. Although being fake ( Beijing migrant workers lack the wearer ) and some negative news , but the style and quality of genuine , did not lose maker style . Worth buying.

2 Colombian (COLUMBIA): U.S. manufacturers have their own design fabrics. Now more popular leisure products, and more focus on style and colors , their professionalism is not very strong . Product line is very wide, to garments .

3 Black Ark (BLACK YAK, black yak ) : known South Korean brand , one of the top three lines Korea , is a high-end brand. Product line is very wide, covering almost all types of equipment , mainly garments. Solid materials, the quality is quite good, the price is not cheap . To enter China after local design and production.

4 Sand Leroy (Salewa): German brand . In Europe , it belongs in the luxury brand , complete product line , from clothing , backpacks climbing equipment has been sold to a higher visibility . In China, it is the main push of a range of apparel products using better materials and processes, but the price is slightly higher , with a lot of people do not understand their products , so it has not made the appropriate visibility.

5 Eagle (AIGLE): French outdoor brand , innovative design , simple, mixed with a lot of fashion elements, looks better. Its style is somewhat casual , with a romantic French style , is a senior brand alternative .

6 Yue Fei Ye (LAFUMA): French brand, is the world's three largest outdoor groups. Both casual and professional outdoor products , the strength. Under which there are many well-known brands , BP backpack was eating it . Because the main products sold to be casual , coupled with a slightly higher price , so in China is unlikely to be accepted as a professional outdoor market .

7 mammoths (MAMMUT): the main clothes , especially the alpine equipment, first-class quality . In the domestic market had a big move .

8 Ward (VAUDE): German brand , famous for the production of bags ; their unique fabric jacket , top quality !

9. Lowe Alphine: This company produces backpacks for the strength , but it's functional outerwear high quality. Mainly for mountain adventure , highlighting the lightweight, wear-resistant features. Suitable for hiking, climbing high intensity outdoor activities .

10. Bergans: Norwegian brand. Not for the people familiar with the brand , but the country has agents . Strength lies in backpacks and clothing. Clothing is a typical European style , very fancy and pretty , technology is also very good , but the price is quite expensive.


Mid-range brand

1 Ozark (OZARK): Although its quality and functionality no qualifications and above par with foreign brands , and not even a lot of mid-range products , but its location and price is really the only domestic brand can be considered world-class . A lot of people dismissed it , thinking it price quality time . But relying on the nation's largest garment manufacturing plant Caulking is one advantage of years of experience working outside the single , some of its apparel products or worthy of recognition . Its early entry into the outdoor sports industry , sponsoring many domestic competitions and mountaineering outdoor sports, outdoor sports on the Chinese contribution to the development of their own strength. Compare all its product lines , to garments , both functional and fashionable .

2 kanamycin Adams (KAILAS): Guangzhou Nima products trading company , one of the best brands in the mid-range . Relying on outside for many years for a single processing advantages, to develop products for the Chinese market , and soon opened the market in a very short period of time for everyone to accept. From its technology ( heat seamless adhesive , only Archaeopteryx , MHW and KAILAS use ) , quality and price, well deserved for the mid-range brand leader. It can often be launched some innovative products , such as to adhere to the development , will be promising a brand.
3 pole star (SHEHE): ​​pole star workmanship is the most top-notch domestic brands . MARMOT done before the OEM, has accumulated a wealth of experience , work is relatively fine . Plus the convenience of material procurement , and soon in the country had made good sales performance and visibility. And two of its three layer laminated plastic jacket provides good waterproof and breathable function ; Unfortunately, breathable fabric at low temperature performance is not satisfactory . If only the general walk through , SHEHE is a good choice.

4 Snow Wolf (SNOW WOLF): Chinese brand , positioned in the mid-range. The main production Jackets and tents, take low-cost competitive strategy , and soon earned himself at an early stage of the market ; and spread through the network achieved a certain reputation. It has prohibitively company 's full support in technology , coupled with reasonable prices and excellent workmanship , the market has now become the preferred brand of fabric products DENTIK .

5 Kaetu peak (K2 summit): This is the brand, not the foreign K2. It is a product manager for mountain climbers , out of the things that are designed for the players . The main products are clothing, backpacks, tents . Solid workmanship , very good reputation , is a good choice.

6 Animaqing (ANEMAQEN): Beijing Mitsuo company's own brand. From retail channels to brand production, gathering house director , and can develop products for the market . It focuses on credibility. In the outdoor industry and the fashion industry , it is the only one who had to recall the entire batch product brand ; and has its own club personnel to provide testing for improvement. Its product line is very complete , including even the noose has produced .

7 Northland (NORTHLAND): Austrian brand. In China the clothing , supplemented by other equipment products. Clothing styles and colors with good reason and occupied a certain market , mid-range price. It is now in outdoor stores and shopping malls have sales, and gradually move toward casual fashion styles .

8 Kay dream come (CAMPLAND): This company has long made international brand OEM, so the fine workmanship, product maturity . In the Mix has a very good reputation !

9 Dragon Bird (SinTeryx): This company is also a long-term do OEM , and accumulated a lot of experience . It is claimed to be " China 's Archaeopteryx ." Products to clothing and sleeping bags , mainly in materials and workmanship have sought high-end , the price close to the mid-range, not the pursuit of too many styles and colors . For the pursuit of cost friends , this is a good choice .

10 Yamagami (Moundety or Mountain deity): Italian brand , but the product did not see how the international brand presence. Soft and comfortable fabric used in strong waterproof , using the Velcro is also a major feature of very fine workmanship . But old-fashioned exterior design , people do not like to discuss . But its relatively low price , in the mid-range products where there are highly competitive.

11 Colombo (Kolumbo): German brands, products suitable for the new entry- ALICE use .

12 Europe are that (Atunas): Taiwan brand . Located in the leisure products, beautiful appearance , workmanship is very good , the price is not cheap. There are some good products, but in mainland awareness is not high .

13 cheerful (Krantz): in the domestic brands , with their workmanship and materials are first-rate , coupled with imitation Archaeopteryx Jackets style design, many ALICE it like a plus .

14 Ata (Muztaga): Chinese brand , positioned in the mid-range. The main products are clothing, attention to detail in the design and improvement.

15 Adams High Star (SKOGSTAD): Select Adams High Star is mainly choose a new Sympatex (Sympatex) fabric quality .

16 Pathfinder (Toread): domestic brands. This brand is really hard to say, its online comments were "junk ." Its early products to basic equipment, mainly because of the price factor can not be compared with the high-end products , product quality checks can not be too strict . However, its sales channels shop well, I believe many of my friends are beginning to understand from this brand outdoor clothing . Yield and high-grade materials after the big co ( including GTX), the production of high -priced products , slowly raise the brand image. Even in advertising on CCTV , which was the first outdoor brands . For Pathfinder , both products go in , no matter how ALICE comment , and ultimately also need time to explain everything .

17. Millet: French brand, the main clothes , backpacks . To see the products from the domestic perspective, be regarded as well-crafted, high-end goods .

Low-end brands

1 Wolf Claw (JACK WOLFSKIN): from Germany . In Europe, it is a high-end brand , good quality, some products are also quite characteristic . People be more familiar with it , but come into contact with are fakes , regular product does not enter China . Domestic fake doing mess , low quality .

Two iron Shi (TTISS): German brand , design and production are carried out in China . Although it is world famous, but that is the foundation laid ski series , the Jackets only be counted as its low-end products , for beginners to use .

3 Health (KING CAMP): relatively fast progress in recent years domestic brands , the low-end products. Product line is very wide, covering almost all outdoor products . Company from the early trade , retail to do the brand, has grown in the field of professional outdoor place . Products acceptable, ie not too fancy stuff , no bad thing , walking moderation .

4 Pureland (PURELAND): British brands . In China, by the agents own design, production and sales. Its flagship product for sleeping bags and backpacks, sleeping bags of cotton in the country with its very strong strength. But it can only be regarded as entry Jackets series or general travel choices.

5 Walker (BACK PACKERS): domestic brands. Strictly speaking, it can not be regarded as low-end brands, but according to their market price point of view , let us put it on the low bar introduction. Walker has its own fabric, its improvement, renovation is also very fast , can be used as low-end brand of choice ! Product design more consideration to wear , durable , and many more thick style appears.

6 Hidaka (Nikko): low-end products , mid-range price , not recommended to buy , rough , crude materials .

7 Flying Fox (Alpex): entry-level product , the higher cost , features a more comprehensive, is the entry of new low-intensity donkey and on foot, traveling a good choice.
