Arc'teryx
Arc'teryx
Arc'teryx are a shining light in the outdoor world, consistently innovating in form and color rather than imitating like most others. They have incredible 3D patterning, beautiful make quality, and some very clean aesthetics. They also helped invent the modern roll-top backpack, and are currently undergoing a renaissance in their carry and tactical. Much respect.
