>>2437273>>2437230the outdoors to you is the zoomer version of lumbersexuality. social media and reddit normies are worse than you but you're doing the same thing -- attaching your personal identity and making political statements with your backpacking gear. when i choose backpacking gear i think about what is best suited for the trip i am planning. i don't know about you but fashion statements aren't high on my list of priorities and that sounds like something only a faggot would do.
just look at the last thread about trailrunners. spergs like you, maybe one of you argued for hours and hours on end with me about how trailrunners will cause you to slip and die and all these bizzare hypothetical situations. that anon said the highest peak in his state is 2200ft and he hasn't walked up it yet. point is your attitude comes from youth and inexperience.
also all the brands you posted use metal frames in almost all their packs and the ultralighter turbo gearfags you guys are complaining about would never buy anything from an outfitter store. most ultralight gear is made in usa by small cottage brands with some chinese.
