Mammut is top notch. I love their gear. I never see them in the US.

Mammut is fairly common in shops catering to non-tourists. Some of the American brands listed (Mountain Hardware and Columbia) are not brands people entrust their lives to.

SOURCE: I live in Wyoming. Only tourists wear Columbia.

PS: My wife should be sponsored by Rab. It's all she wears in the winter.

Agree, I'm in Colorado and Mammut is well loved here (I own a Mammut jacket myself). Haglรถfs makes top-notch backpacks and I wore exclusively Salomon shoes for over a decade before switching to zero-drop.

Most of these European brands are pretty easily found here if you know where to look. As for the American brands, Columbia is utter trash and Marmot isn't much better.

I'm switching a lot to mammut. Their clothes are like nothing i have ever worn before. Their ultralight clothing line is like wearing nothing.
