Mountain Hardwear: Richmond-based Mountain Hardware
has been my go-to supplier for camping-and-backpacking clothing and gear for
more than a decade. They make vests
suitable for any outdoor activity, including vest-daypack hybrids that they
call “racing vests.”
North Face: Alameda-based North Face makes
pretty much everything an outdoors-enthusiast could want. And – judging by everything I’ve bought from
them so far – they make all if it really really well. Fifteen years ago, I bought a North Face
backpack. Thousands of backpacking miles
later, not a stitch has popped, not a buckle has broken –the thing doesn’t even
smell bad. I do not yet own a North Face
vest. But I will.
