>>1128616>>1128628Yes, I'm serious. People always say that Chinese stuff is garbage but they most likely have poor experiences because they buy a pack of 10 USB cords for a dollar. The truth is, there are some very high quality Chinese brands that Westerners really don't know about.
Pic related is the pack and trekking poles, and tent (not seen inside) I bought laat season for $200 Canadian. The backpack alone is way better quality than any Osprey or REI stuff that I've seen in the $200 range.
Be warned though: A lot of people on this forum will hate on you whilst they ironically buy products that are 10x the cost and are still made in Asia.
