I still wear a North Face Denali jacket and goretex shell that I bought 23 years ago from their outlet stores. They both still look practically new and have had no issues with zippers, threads fraying, holes etc.

I remember exactly because it's the first expensive things I bought after getting my first job.

The “before year 2000” stuff was legit because the company hadn’t been bought out yet. The current higher-end apparel and gear may still be some of the best, but the “mostly streetwear camouflaged as outdoor wear” is garbage.

ETA: OR, Cotopaxi, some Mammut, Enlightened Equipment, some Kavu for streetwear, and Icebreaker have been the brands I’ve regretted purchasing least. All have some hit or miss, except Enlightened Equipment, because they only offer 2 jackets and 1 pant.
