I vote no. I have to agree with others who have said that the designs are nothing new, none of it is particularly UL, and the way they went out of business left a bad taste in my mouth. But, from a pure gear aspect, they don't really have all that much to offer. Two down puffies, a pair of shoes and a pair of overpriced sandals, no 1 person tent option, and the tents they do offer are heavier than many other cottage manufacturers. The packs are just versions of the Jam or Pinnacle in new colors and are no lighter than one from ULA, or even Osprey.
That said, in the end, you're still dealing with the same owner of GoLite, so that tiger hasn't changed it's stripes. EDIT: I'm adding this in as food for thought for others who are maybe reading these comments like I am. A lot of folks voting yes are saying how much they liked/loved GoLite gear. The problem is the only similarity (other than the designs) to GoLite by MTC is the founder/owner. MTC is NOT GoLite. The current products are heavier than those offered by GoLite, are only vaguely similar, and may not be coming from the same place. Some commenting have said they want to support a Colorado company. While that's admirable, that's a bit like buying a Ford because you want to support a Michigan company. In fact nowhere on the product page does it say that anything is actually made in Colorado, just that it was "born" there. My biggest concern of all is whether or not they'll actually be able to fulfill a large order. And if they can, how long will it take them to do so? It's one thing to ask for at least, say, 20 orders to get the lowest price for a jacket, it's another thing altogether if they're going to take 2 months to fulfill the order. Unfortunately for MTC, they're now just another outdoors gear company with a limited selection of gear that isn't particularly innovative, and as such my not be around 2 years from now and the former owner burned a lot of bridges when GoLite went down. Given it's the same owner at a different company, I'm not sure how negatively that's going to impact the overall longevity of MyTrail.
