Anyone dealt with this company? I don’t know much about them except they’re sort of a European REI that have recently moved into the American market on a limited scale. From what I’ve read, it appears to be a pretty good company with quality gear at competitive prices. Anyone had personal experience with them.

No personal experience but heard they’ve been almost on par with, say, REI branded gear. See some of their mostly insulated pieces on lighterpacks gear lists from time to time (user generated gear lists for the UL crowd to share). It’s not bad stuff.
They had a storefront in San Francisco I visited on Market St., but they didn’t have my size that day. Kinda comparable (hiking and skiing clothes to packs to scuba gear) but the showroom floor was a bit more “basic”. Think COVID shut it down.

A French based company that dominates the outdoor gear/sport gear market in Europe. Over 1,600 stores around the world. (as a comparison REI has about 160) Made some noise here in Australia about 5 years ago but sort of fizzled out. Lost a lot of money in the meantime. From comments on the UK sites I see that the cater mostly for entry level/value for money gear.
