Buying from MTB companies that don’t support anti hunting

[Trial153]

Take this how ever you want it. But things arent as black and white as we would like them to be. The grey outweighs them both.
I think long term out best interest is served better by building on commonality then forcing everyone into all or nothing camps.

I have a pair of Fox shorts and the outer shorts aren’t bad, but the liner padding completely got destroyed after a few years. Not worth it, especially when I can get a higher end pair for same price. Based on what I’ve seen, sounds like Patagonia isn’t as bad as the people were making them out to be on the articles I read. Their customer service is really good and they will replace and destroyed items for a small fraction of the price. I’ll go with them

Given my post above regarding Patagonia, I find it very ironic that BHA just posted this:

Backcountry Hunters & Anglers on Instagram: “@patagonia founder Yvon Chouinard is a fly fisherman, alpinist and surfer who’s travelled the world experiencing the outdoors. Yvon will…”

He WAS a bird hunter. As far as hunting they made a public statement a few years ago. They are big supporters of Buffalo Field Campaign and encourage anti to apply for tag and Patagonia would reimburse if they drew.

Patagonia is a snake, the blatantly lied about bears ears. They blantently Said the boycott of OR was about Bears Ears even though they previously are on record saying they where thinking about pulling out of OR because dates where past their order deadlines,

No different then the support REI crap,

If we are going to reach across the isle for public lands, we atleast need to do it with a bull snake and not a busted rattle rattlesnake

Is that them lying or is that just the tipping point they saw. In my mind they drew attention to Bears Ears and that was/is a good thing.

Patagonia is pro-environment, access, and lands so they my support.

They blantently lied about Bears Ears. Straight up non-factual lies. Why would OR be any different? But yes the are very pro National Park.

I’ll save my money And give it to a less hunting controversial company.

I think the OR protest was the fact that the UT legislators were and are against many things we hold dear.

As for Bears Ears, I think that the reports and leaks we have seen have shown that Patagonia's protest was pretty accurate.

Just my two pennies, not going to dig in on this...

yea lets just sell it all and go to the Texas model.

Brilliant reply about a lie about how reducing Bears Ears stole our land.

As long as its about public land it ok to lie? Sound about right for yankee.

What a joke

You can’t apparently support public land, the 2nd or hunting all together any more...

No they couldnt force date changes, where it made financial sense.

What was accurate? By Reducing size of a monument did it infact take place public land away from the public, it turned National Forrest or BLM into private land?

I do.

Last I will say: there are leaks and reports out there that show Bears Ears was reduced due to the interests of developers. There is also the probable fact that The Donald was inclined to do it just because it would reverse an Obama decision. Bears Ears has significant cultural importance to a lot of Native Americans and such a drastic move was inappropriate. Last I'll say to this point.

Well is it being developed? It could be argued that it didn’t need to be 1.3 million acres also. NPS has never been hunting friendly I would rather see National Forrest stay National forest instead of another Dinosaur National Monument. Like I said it was public land and still is public land.

Patagonia doesn’t make MTB shorts that I am aware of. I like padded liners by Dakine, Club Ride, and others to go under my favorite lightweight shorts.

I stand corrected. Hang Tight! Routing to checkout...
