I was thinking about buying the Hestra's Ergo Grip Active Wool Terry 5-Finger. What do you think about it? Do you think it is a good model or do you have other to recommend? It would be used during Boston winter

How do they compare to Patagonia, Arc'teryx and TheNorthFace products?

I have never heard about Buff. Looking at their website, the beanies surely look good. Thanks a lot!

Request: BIFL Winter Beanie

I am thinking about purchasing the Carhartt Knit Insulated Logo Graphic Cuffed Beanie. Do you think it is the best option? I heard that Carhartt products have decreased substantially in quality over the last few years.

What's the difference between an Iron Clad Guarantee and a Life Time Guarantee (Sorry, English is not my primary language haha)?

Reply to comment by F-21 in Clothes - What are durable brands? by TheFledge534

Yeah, this is exactly what I was thinking. Buy Carharrt or Wrangler jeans. They will not last forever, but I can buy many of them for the price of 1 par from Filson.
