Discontinued Products you wish were still available

So….I had a camo beanie made by Under Armour that was micro fleece with a silky smooth spandex type of liner on the inside. This made it so you could layer it under another hat without ever feeling a burning hot spot sensation from your hair getting all mashed in one spot. I used to play football (long before owning this beanie), and honestly, this would’ve been great for cold weather games. It was tight and low profile enough to be worn under a football helmet if need be.

It also fit my dome perfectly (maybe because I just wore it so much). It wasn’t one of those “not nearly deep enough” types of beanies that feels like it was made for a child- I didn’t have to keep yanking it down to cover my ears, but it also didn’t cover any part of my eyes at full deployment either. It was thin enough to fit comfortably inside a hard hat during a cold day at work, and still warm enough that I rarely needed any additional hat to stay warm.

I believe I have lost it for good now, and all the current products are shaped much differently, made of a thicker fleece material, none have the nice spandex liner material on the inside. They are always either so loose that they allow a draft around my ears, or so small that I feel like I’m wearing one of those stupid rainbow skull cap thingy’s from the movie UP with the little propeller on the top.

JUST wondering…
A) if anyone knows of a comparable product to replace my beloved UA beanie as described above
…and
B) What is your most-missed discontinued hunting/outdoor product that you wish was still available?
What made it so much better than the current alternatives?

The Phelps Red AMP call. It was like they made it for me. I loved it.After they stopped making it and before Meateater bought them they "custom" made me a few but now I'm left to find a new call.

Core-4-Element Assault shirt. This was a mainstay in my pack for 12 years...the microfleece interior is really micro now. Pretty much worn down. Actually I miss the whole Core-4 line. Still have and use the element jacket and pants.

I miss the Leupold custom shop because now I cant get rid of these damn M1 turrets I ended up not ever using.

I also miss the Leupold 1.75 x 6 which was about the perfect scope for 95% of the guns I own. Longer mounting area, 32mm objective…just perfect.

I've had a dozen pairs of the same Redwing shoe model that fit my feet perfectly.
I got my last pair shipped from another store on the far side of the country to my local store.
They've discontinued that model. Probably have to go barefoot now.

I still use my Element pants every year as well.

Sitka 90% jacket. If I knew how much I would love it, I would have bought three.

I feel you on the under armour beanie. I have one that I have been using for at least 15 years. I would be extremely disappointed if I lost it. It's easily the best fitting piece of headwear I own. It's a unique stick pattern. Again, I should have bought several.
