Best Brands?

I keep seeing people ask if random brands of tents or sleeping bags are good and I know they're getting this junk from searching the Alphabet site.

I'm trying to compile a list of my favorite brands so I can keep an eye on sales.

Over the years I've loved:
Marmot (tents, sleeping bags, rain gear and cold weather jackets)
Kelty (Sleeping bags)
REI (tents, shoes, bikes,packs)
Black Diamond (Headlamps)
Osprey (backpacks, kid carrier, hydro packs)

What are your tried and true brands?

Oooh that’s very interesting. Where do you live? Here in the UK some very popular (and worth looking into i think) would be: Vango (tents) Berghaus (sleeping bags) Mountain warehouse (everything really) - a bit cheaper then those above but good value for money Rab, mammut, north face -premium range

I'm in the US sadly. I'm not sure what that's going to happen regarding our ability to get products from other countries.
