@JensHannemann@mastodon.online @pluralistic@mamot.fr I went the same way with Timbuk2 bags. Have had many over the years, and never really switched them because they wore out...just because there was a better model. I've had good luck with my Osprey hydration packs too. One nice thing about consumer products is that the only lock-in they can get is in (a) distribution or (b) brand awareness. And we still have ways of discovering good products and buying directly from the manufacturer. But as Amazon, Google, and others tighten their chokehold over the digital end of our economy, we risk losing that too.

  • @ildiavolorosso@sfba.social @pluralistic@mamot.fr We have a wonderful independent outdoor store here in Lexington that really helps with discovery of this stuff. They really know what they’re talking about. I buy from them as much as I possibly can, which, given the quality of the stuff they sell, unfortunately isn’t that often. https://jhoutdoors.com
