Anyone tried Forloh clothing?

[EdP]

I wish their website would provide info on the packed size of their products including photos. Raingear is my specific interest but the same info is needed on puffy jackets, etc.

Yeah, I knew y’all would get your panties in a twist. Recco reflectors… at that point someone is looking for my body and I no longer care.

Lol....so people replying to your initial statement that (to me at least) seems pretty uninformed means they have their "panties in a twist"?

Just admit that you hate America and despise FREEDOM!!!!

(last sentence is a joke...I know you have trouble understanding how to interpret other people's words so hopefully this helps).

My panties would not get in a bunch over something as silly as a strangers opinion on clothing lol, i was just throwing that out there in case people didn't know.

Everyone has different priorities when they spend their money, i happen to think its cool that they have the reflectors as i recreate and hunt in areas where it is an actual possibility they could use them to help locate me(people have been rescued with the reflectors they arent just for body recovery). Was not a deciding factor for me tho, the quality and country of origin were. Also, if you just wait for a sale then most of forlohs stuff can be had for the same price or less than other top brands that is made by communists

I do hate freedom.

Nah the way I see it these companies will only come down in cost if you prove it’s not worth your time and money. I am reflecting just that. One could likely add the word “yet”.

I’m a gear head too, but sometimes rokslide is just a bunch people that think they are better than others. Often it’s just chest thumping that you don’t need camo. But Sometimes the USA made hang up just becomes virtue signaling and falls into the noise with wokeness. I’m perfectly fine with this, I’m just not going to foot the bill. Some of the high end hunting outlets pay attention here so I’m shedding some light on my position alone.

I hunt and fish hard and test my gears limits. BUT my style of hunting is a bit exceptional. I don’t expect others views to align, just pointing out that there are more than the two crowds generally catered to.

Got it, so saving a few bucks is more important to you than supporting American business. You do understand that making goods here in the USA costs more than making it in China, right? You understand that labor costs over here are significantly higher than China, right? If you understand those two things than you understand why Forloh gears costs more than (and frankly, not that much more) than comparable gear from a company that makes stuff in China. You complaining about the price isn't going to change the root cause that America made gear costs more....it's simple economics. There are those of us seeing the direction this country is going and don't like what they are seeing, so they are voting with their pocket books and supporting companies that support their values.

You can call it virtue signaling if you want, but you're just trying to troll people. You prefer your gear made in China....thanks for your input on this thread regarding an American company. I'm sure the reps from Kuiu and Sitka really appreciate your support.

So you're basically saying you want American made, high quality gear for cheaper than made in china prices? Lol if you catch the right sale and compare it to the right overseas overpriced clothing its possible, but it'd have to be one hell of a sale!

I think Alone Guy may be back.

Come on. I’m a simple guy and I’m straight forward. So try not to read into stuff too far; I’m certainly not implying anything past the words I type(d). However, some of you fellas are displaying the elitist attitudes I was speaking about.

 

[tobyscreams]

There’s a price you wouldn’t pay for USA made goods also.

Im genuinely not trying to be a jerk, i am curious what price point you would like to see forloh be at tho? I honestly feel like forloh is competitively priced(especially on sale, i dont think ive paid full price for anything from forloh) when you look at what sitka, first lite, kuiu and stone glacier charge for their clothing that is all sourced and made overseas with cheap labor in communist countries

 

[Cameron.25]

Of course, if forloh costed a significant amount more than the stuff i was wearing before, but its really not. I bought most of my forloh at 25-30% off too

I’m by no means singling them out. The prices of the other goods that you mentioned are far too great as well. As a middle class guy I was trying to be heard. I realize most of you guys likely double my income. I guess this is what I get for participating.

I hear ya, was just wondering if you were singling them out thats the reason i asked. Its all expensive!

 

[tobyscreams]

It’s worth mentioning that part of what I was trying to point out is also a product line disconnect. For most companies there’s the head to toe camo, treestand line and the ‘we don’t need camo’ “western” line. What I do is
smack in the middle. I’m the odd ball and I know everyone won’t need what I do. Again, I’m just trying to be heard.

While i have seen guys say that and admit there is probably some truth to it, i think almost all of forlohs clothing comes in solids and camo both, the couple pieces that arent offered in both are actually only available in camo i think and they dont charge any extra for camo or solids over the other unlike some brands. I live and hunt out west and all my hunting stuff except for one pair of pants is camo for instance

I’m sure you are a good guy, but I think you just got a bit of ribbing for the panties comment and saying that members think they are better than others. It’s fine imho to not want to buy Forloh, but no need to make class comments. Maybe you didn’t mean to be. And apologies for the Alone Guy remark - probably not fair (and perhaps before you joined).

I sweated my bal1$ off and got eaten alive by mosquitoes this weekend turkey hunting and my bug proof shirt failed me, so I may need to get some of their stuff and I’d *personally* rather pay a bit more, to a US company, than get bit like this again. YMMV.

 

[Cameron.25]

And also, this forum appears to be full of guys that live and hunt out east and travel to hunt out west too, so you are not alone on that front

 

[tobyscreams]

I’m in the east. I hunt the east but western style. I’ve never been able to afford to go out of state much. I also am not much for online stuff so if I come off wrong that’s usually the problem.

I didn’t figure y’all for the type(s) that would laugh a realtree/ walmart camoed guy out of camp it just can *seem* that way when these topics come up.

 

[406life]

I've been using their gear since last fall and haven't been disappointed in any piece yet. I've worn Sitka for 10 years and really appreciate and understand tech clothing.
I'll be posting more reviews of specific pieces of gear soon. Supporting a brand that is Montana based and US sourced and manufactured hits a core value for me. That's why I choose to work with them. I am excited about new products and a growing line from a company that's less than 2 years old.

Hey man, there are some here that poke fun of others-and it shows how petty they are. Yes, wearing all camo/matching camo has somehow become weird-but again, if another man is worried about what another man is wearing, he’s got bigger problems.

I am all for supporting USA made products and will spend more. I think you can appreciate that sentiment. Where I think you went sideways is with some of your comments made in this thread about the forum as a whole and not pertained to this conversation and seemed argumentative.

Most regulars on here are decent dudes.
