Cabela's had a branded Danner hunting boot that was amazing. They looked similar to the Danner Canadians. I was going to send them in to get rebuilt, but it would cost twice as much as I bought the boots for.

Those were some good boots.

Bought my first "expensive" set of boots from Cabelas. Cabela branded but partnered with Meindl, the Perfect Hiker model. They were great, loved them. Love them so much I bought a second pair from Meindl 8 years later since cabelas stopped making them. Same model but way different fit. Was quite disappointed. Still have the old ones, maybe I should get new soles installed.

Had a few pairs of unlined lightweight camo cloth gloves made by Gates about 25 years ago. They were short cuffed and had a nice pleat going across the knuckles. When I found out how comfortable they were, I bought about 5 pairs. But have recently wore out my last pair. They’ve since been discontinued for either cheaper crap or ridiculously expensive over thought garbage.

The Pocket Fisherman Spin Casting Outfit, circa 1972.

You know you are over the hill if you remember these television ads from the mid-1970s.

I never owned one but I probably saw them advertised about 500 times. Old school…

I have one of these lol. It belonged to my grandma.

THIS!!! And the ball chiller/warmer vent on my Gen 3 4Runner!!

Why they don’t bring these back in every vehicle today is a mystery to me. It’s one of my favorite things about my ‘91 4Runner.

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?

this. I just sold my old one two months ago and wished I had one to replace it.

Sitka hanger gloves. Best there ever was. Any body got a medium pair!?

The key pad on F150 trucks, I believe this is gone on 25 forward models. Man I loved that feature. Going got miss is when it is time to get a new ride.

First generation Toyota Sequoia/Tundra/Land Cruiser with the 4.7 2UZ-FE V8........sigh.
