I'm assuming it's something political or Sitka had some business agreement with EuroOptic and fucked them over

They are owned by WL Gore and its still a privately held company (Goretex), and Bob Gore died in 2020, maybe its something to do with changes in ownership/management?

Sitka is owned by WL Gore. May or may not have anything to do with EuroOptic’s decision.

Several years ago they came out against drilling in ANWR, but I'm curious as to what's happened more recently. Probably some woke/DEI bullshit they've tried to push on their dealers/distributors if I had to guess.

I like EO and I prefer Kuiu anyway.
Eberlestock pack Wasn't impressed with mine, they went a little too crazy on the internal storage pockets, which takes up a lot of useable space. Their range bag is really nice. |

Sitka makes good stuff. Expensive no doubt but for people who seriously hunt it’s worth the investment.
I mix it with first lite. I know first lite also had issues with some political opinions. It’s a shame seems the last of the right is going down in the outdoor community |

Over $500 dollars for a Made in China hunting parka that probably costs $5 to make. LMAO.
I gladly pay more, when I can, for items that are made in the US, Canada, or Europe. I refuse to pay more just because a brand puts their name on it. More for you guys I guess. |

Yeah, we had a customer company pull that "use minority owned businesses" BS with us. We buy from vendors based on cost and quality, I don't give a shit about what color or gender they are. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By turbobrick: Their packs, or at least the two J34s I had, would really start to fold or crumple with weight in them, plus they are stupid heavy empty, damn near twice the other leading packs. The internal stays were designed to bend to match your back for fit, but that bend made them not nearly rigid enough once you got meat in the bag. The design doesn't allow the pack to lift the weight off your shoulders and onto your hips. I was also surprised to find that the opening at the top of the bag wasn't big enough to stick a cow elk rear quarter inside, and without a load shelf, you're going to need to bone the meat out to make it fit. The next year I bought a SG Sky Talus and never looked back, it (and the Mystery Ranch I had in between) make the Eberlestock look like a Jansport. I have a SG 2200 that I liked so much I bought a Kiowa 3200 for this year. |
