>>2514376Having something reliable that can take a brush with the bush means you can't constantly buy, and sell then repost for leddit gold as nu material brand loyalist shit takes over. Having reliable gear is the antithesis of consuming. Worst is the people shilling overhyped cottage made shit that only does what chinkshit already handles for the most marginal of benefits for often up to 70 percent extra cost. Then via warranty abuse and offshoring to new makers the more established brands get fucked, overpriced and sink. Osprey for example is a great metaphor for everything that fucked up since 2008. The fact is a lot of external frames lost the fashion appeal because function isn't the chief concen. Most internal frames were born out of utility and nessesary use via mountains. It's the trail groomers that show up because they've got a park to wreck that buy most of the ucyled plastic shit.
You get weird exceptions to this like Wilderness Equipment making a normal bag that happens to be canvas for example. But that's Australia so you can't fuck around if you intend to live out of the bag.
