Reply to comment by curiosity_abounds in Which of the international clothing brands have durable quality? by _SlowRain_

I'd argue their quality has notably improved in the last 6 or so years

Glad you’ve had success. I’ve spent a lot of money on Mountain Hardware over the past two years because I’ve got a warehouse near me and I have to say I have become very disappointed. I decided I’d rather just spend the money and add to my small but ever growing Arc’Teryx collection. I’ve never tossed out anything from them. They are way more expensive though

I've stopped buying Mountain Hardware. Had two ill-fitting shirts that wore out quickly, while fading. And a pair of pants - ditto. Don't know how MH got into good outfitter stores.

Patagonia all the way. They have a used website as well and you can trade stuff in.

Mountain Hardware is a branch of the same company as Columbia and Prana. They’re all about the same quality and they all made a turn towards being trendy a few years back. I only buy them when they’re on severe discount, and still consider if I should just save up and get something more durable. They’re like the trendy fast fashion I can throw in with my 10 year old durable gear to be more up to date in colors and cuts
