DryVent™ vs Gore-Tex® Technology: Which One is Better?

DryVent vs Gore-Tex Technology: Which One is Better?

Welcome back to a comparison review! In this one, as you saw in the title, we will not be looking at two jackets versus each other, but instead, we will be focusing on fabric technologies.

Gore-Tex® and DryVent™ are two of the most popular fabrics used in modern outdoor apparel, especially jackets. They come with many specifics and features that have given them their well-deserved reputation, as we will see in this review.

The reason why we chose to do a comparison between two fabrics rather than jackets that might have either of these as part of their material, is because both of them come up quite often in our reviews and especially in our selections.

Because of that, we thought it would be best to have a separate piece for them both, so you will not only have a better understanding of what they are best for but also know how they compare to each other.

Besides, they are also the two most used fabrics in The North Face‘s jackets, a brand that we have reviewed extensively before.

Once again, we will be following the usual structure of looking at each separately and then comparing their different aspects and features to see how they fare. With that being said, let’s get started right away with Gore-Tex.

Best Fjällräven Alternatives: 8 Cheaper Jackets Reviewed

Best Fjällräven Alternatives - 8 Cheaper Jackets Reviewed

May brought with it some very strange weather this past week, making some of us bring out the raincoats that we thought weren’t needed any longer. Summer seems to be taking its time, so we thought it would be a good idea for us to take a look at some more jackets together.

In today’s selection of 8 jackets, we have picked some great options for you that are good alternatives to some of Fjällräven’s best jackets.

For those unfamiliar with the brand, Fjällräven is a Swedish company which sells outdoor gear and apparel. It’s one of the most featured brands in our selections because of how well-designed their jackets are.

However, it still remains a pricey brand, with barely any jacket cheaper than $100, which is not a price many people can easily shell out. Because of that, we picked some jackets that offer almost similar performance but at a lower price.

Why Is Canada Goose So Expensive? Are Their Jackets Worth The Price?

Why Is Canada Goose So Expensive? Are Their Jackets Worth The Price?

With summer quickly approaching as we leave the month of April behind, winter jackets, especially down ones, is the farthest thing from our minds. And we completely understand, but being well-prepared is something we deem to be the most important aspect of life.

Summer is quite short, however and autumn usually hits hard and quick, with winter following right behind. So, planning on buying a winter jacket is never a bad thing, nor is it a waste of time. Especially the kind of jackets we will be discussing today.

As you have seen from the title, we will be looking at why Canada Goose is such an expensive brand and ultimately settle the matter of whether their jackets are worth the price.

Not everyone can shell out at least $500 to buy anything, let alone a winter jacket. But is this such a crazy thing to do when you really think about it?

Yes, there are more affordable options in the market, both locally and online, and yes, you can get quality for a reasonable price, but few of those jackets will really cut it, especially if you go through harsh winters, such as in Canada, for example.

So let’s get down to it then and go through not only bloggers’ experience with Canada Goose jackets, but also people like you, who have shared their opinions on this brand.

the north face carto triclimate vs columbia bugaboo interchange jacket

Welcome back to our newest comparison review! Today’s chosen jackets are by The North Face and Columbia, respectively the Carto Triclimate jacket and Bugaboo Interchange for men.

We selected these two particular jackets to compare, as they fall in the same category, that of being 3-in-1 jackets. What 3-in-1 refers to is a jacket that comes in layers, which can be removed or put together in order to make it adaptable to different weather conditions.

Both brands are previously featured in our selections and taking into account that both are quality brands and come with some of the best reviews and impressions by customers, this is bound to be an interesting comparison.

Another thing they have in common is that they are American brands, which is a first for our comparison reviews.

Let’s get started with their short introductions and move on right away to each jacket.

The North Face is probably one of the most renowned US brands when it comes to outdoors clothing. They are always coming up with new designs and their products are reliable and high quality.

Columbia is also a very reputable brand that has provided us with some of the best jackets that we have come across, be it in quality or performance. All of their designs are tried and tested in the harshest conditions in order to guarantee that only the best of the best make it into the stores.
