The bankruptcy aside, I guess everyone forgets what Go-Lite did to Ray Jardine. Those "innovative designs" weren't theirs. They were de facto stolen and they hosed over one of the pioneers of UL in the process.

My Trail is shutting down. Re-hashed designs didn't make it in a competitive market with new, more efficient designs and materials.

Sell the products Yes, partner with No. Why take that chance and leave Drop open for My Trail Co. going bankrupted and sinking both ships at once, don't pull all your eggs in one basket. Whats the upside of partnering with them? None!

Read the bankruptcy papers from GoLite. A lot of partners got left high and dry. And a lot of warranties got flushed.

I liked Golite stuff and own shelters, quilts garments etc. which were, in the main, excellent quality at approx. 50% £ actual worth as compared to the competition - but they seemed to be a fire sale for a long long time. MyTrail also has what appear to be excellent products, not available in the UK, but as GoLite left a great many people out of pocket while selling stock at too low a cost, I think there has to be a diligent analysis surrounding the structure of MyTrail.

If you watch MTC’s website you can come across some serious bargains. The gear they have list looks really nice. That said, they are still selling 2018 gear despite the fast approaching 2019 season. I’ve had my eye on one of their backpacks but I really don’t need another. Still tempting.

Should Massdrop Partner with My Trail Co?
[image]
My Trail Co is a new company from Colorado, currently selling a few packs, tents and jackets with ambitious plans to expand. MTC emanates from the ashes of Golite, a company that was one of the main catalysts for the ultralight movement in the 2000s. I personally still have and regularly use my Golite Bitterroot down jacket, Jam2 50L pack, Feather 40 degree bag (now converted to a two-person quilt), and a few other things. I am very fond of who Golite was, what they made, and how they helped many of us to lighten up.

So, it seems like it would be a no brainer to partner with a company making items that are essentially updates of the original beloved items, now under a different brand name. However, there is a bit of a darkside in that Golite went bankrupt a few years ago and left debts of more than $3 million to outdoor suppliers, manufacturers, and real estate owners. Many ULers were unhappy with how Golite went out of business. It wasn't illegal, by any means...

[image]
Hey guys,
We want to hear what Outdoors & Ultralight jackets all of you are into. More specifically, what brands, types, and styles.
▶ What type of qualities do you look for in a jacket?
▶ Are there certain materials or designs that make most sense for you?
▶ What companies do you think make the best products?
We’re always looking at posts and polls for suggestions, and we take them into account when we’re looking for products to put on the site. It doesn’t mean we can secure relationships with every brand or company of course, but we do try, and it gives us a better sense of the interests of the community.
We thought the easiest way to round up and talk about what jackets everyone likes is to make a Talk Post so let us know what you think and what suggestions you might have in the discussion. Myself and the buying team will be here to take everything into consideration.
