Orthovox is missing as well. They are German.

I can only recommend La Sportiva hiking, trekking and mountains shoes. Great quality.

I got a few Rab down jackets. When something damaged them I could send them over and for 20-30 euro including shipping back&forth they fixed them!

I really like this instead of buying a new one.

Are there other brands who do the same I wonder?

Patagonia does. But it is American.

Haix did for my shoes.

Just bought the oldest kid their first sleeping bag: From Nordisk rather than Marmot.

Also, Huppa is Estonian and makes good jackets.

Although quite expensive, I like Jack Wolfskin. Or how I prefer to call it Jacque Peaudeloup.

Love my Norrรธna jacket. Very comfy and well made.

Idk about their new stuff but I can say my dad's 30+ years old mammut jacket is absolutely unkillable. Really well made with some kevlar pads on the shoulders, elbows etc. It did lose some insulation over time though

Also if you're in the market for a new tent, Bergans makes a decent one

As a Norwegian, it hurts to say this but Hilleberg also make excellent tents.

Pricey buy you buy once and cry once.

Jesus 10000,- for a 3 person tent? Bit rich for my blood. I can recommend the one i linked to. It weighs very little and has served us well on several camping holidays in Denmark, Hordaland and Sogn og Fjordane. Equally good for wild camping as campsites and easily put up by one person. There's also enough room in the bag to just stuff it in if you're in a rush.
