Discontinued Products you wish were still available

I miss the old first lite Labrador sweater, I wish I bought a few back when they had them.

Ha! I am still driving my first generation Toyota Tundra with the 4.7 2UZ-FE V8.
I also have the Loggy Bayou Climber pictured above, but I haven't used it in years. I got it in the early 1990s and yes, at the time, it was expensive and considered state of the art. A huge step up from dad's Baker. I don't remember it being that dangerous. Should have been using a harness or life line while ascending and descending trees.

The original superx2. There was no better shotgun ever made. I’m glad I have 2 of them.

Haha I’ve had about 5 of these. Still have 1 that I use occasionally and my wife also uses one when she shoots

I have 3, the 1 I shoot regularly is getting in pretty bad shape and is borderline scary to shoot but since they don't make it anymore I'm trying to get a lot of use with it

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?

Had a brown beanie same way loved that thing. Seems like the beanies they make now don’t fit the same way. That was the nicest beanie I’ve ever seen.

For me, almost any of the Cabela's branded clothing and boots. The Bass Pro stuff is a step down in every regard.

As a fellow Pennsylvanian, I can't agree more. The last thing I bought from the old Cabela's was a pair of insulated pants in 2017 and I think about the company's demise every time I put them on.

Toyota 5.7 V8. If they would have kept that engine in the Gen 3s with a more efficient transmission and tune, they would have sold like hot cakes.

Cabelas had a Fish Eagle brand fishing rod that was killed by the merger. It’s a perfect do all rod that I can use for smallmouth and bass with spinner baits, cranks, or soft plastics but also sensitive enough to use for crappie in a pinch.

Strike King Bitsy Tubes in Mustard. This is my smallmouth fishing crew’s go to lure and has been for almost two decades. They stopped making the color. That said, I bought up all the inventory I could find and probably have a lifetime supply.

I literally flung mine into a lake.
The jamming that gun produced saved hundreds of Canada geese. Hundreds.

Wisconsin "Hunters Choice " tags...if that counts.
The original Gander Mountain half-zip fleece.

I wouldn’t mind Gander Mountain stores, just not the ones leading up to bankruptcy

Interesting.

I could say the same thing about that hunk of garbage Benelli super black eagle 2 I owned. lol

The one i went to early 20's had a fantastic fly fishing section and guys you would share spots with.

CJ-5. I love my Wrangler but C.W. McCall didn’t write songs about a Wrangler.
