Andrew Skurka reported GoLite has reemergenced as mytrailco.com "GoLite 2.0 is live and taking orders, mytrailco.com/. Congrats to Coup for hustling and making it happen -- there were a lot of doubters, and probably still are. I hope he can restore trust, redevelop his reputation, and be successful this time." |

I hope they make it. I've got a few of Golite's pieces of equipment and clothing equipment and really like them.
What lead to their demise in the first place? Anyone know?

What lead to their demise in the first place? Anyone know? From what I read - They put out retail stores and grew too fast for their britches and didn't pull back in time. I also hope they make it. They made my favorite shelter and I want to buy a new one. |

My only piece of GoLite gear is my 20F quilt but I love it. Good to see this.

I invited them to come to the forum and answer questions and give an introduction. I hope they come to share what's new!

They were probably forced to do so. Windows 10 and all that. <snark>
I have none of their gear, but have heard nothing but praise for them. Hopefully they'll work things out better this time.

My Trail is looking forward to reconnecting with the backpacking community through GoLite followers. We are starting out small, and look to grow slow and smart with business and demands. How many founders get a second chance to do it over, better?

I wish them the best of luck. There's a lot of competition in the lightweight market and I don't know how anyone can generate enough sales at enough margin to stay healthy.
