Brands I'm happy with....at the moment

Gear
1

Following on from yesterday’s moan, what/who are you satisfied with at the moment?

  • Zone3, happy with my wetsuit & trisuit.
  • Aquasphere goggles, they fit my odd shaped head/face.
  • Galibier, not the most exciting in cycle clothing, but solid AF.
  • OXO, really happy with their potato peeler, steel colander & shower squegee among others.
  • Assioma, my power meter has taken some abuse but still seems accurate.

I’d certainly agree with Aquasphere and Favero, don’t really use the others.

I like my Roka wetsuits, pricey but generally good.

Never had many problems with Shimano either and my Wattbike battles on!

There’s been complaints about Rapha recently but they still remain good for me.

Ah yes, another happy Assioma owner here; had them since 2018. To be fair my Power2Max before that was very solid too.

Yep like my Assioma too.
Asics seem pretty solid lately for me.
Finisterre - quality kit, and good credentials
Innov8 has always been good for me
Alpkit - decent stuff at reasonable prices.
Sennheiser - my headphones are ace and years old. Holding strong.
Fat face - not the coolest brand these days, but I have shirts and shorts in particular that are a good decade + old and still holding strong.

My road bike is still very happily running Shimano ultra 10 speed and also a Quark crank based power meter bought in 2010. Very happy with both.

In a random monologue of thought…

I really like..

Concept 2 (their products are affordable, with genuine quality).

Garmin (I’ve had 3 or 4 products, every one has been well built and lasted me years).

Panasonic (this has a sample size of 1… Although my Panasonic tv has lasted for over a decade and counting).

Brooks (bit of an odd one, but I find their shoes just work well for me, although appreciate there are better on the market).

Oakley (see the Garmin point).

200 degrees coffee (great tasting coffee, cool company).

Our Panasonic is probably 18 years old! Might outlive me :face_with_spiral_eyes:

Brooks have been good for me in the past.

Edit: Garmin and Oakley, although my prescription is out of range for some of their frames.

Still like my Huub cycling gear. Not fragile like their wetsuits.

DHB stuff, if only you could still buy it.

Favero great

Shimano ultegra mechanical

I do have a small gripe with mechanical front Shimano mechs, they tend to seize up on me, but in fairness they get some rubbish winter weather and it would probably help if I changed gear now and then, rarely go up anything steep enough to change to the small ring.

Outs might have, if it wasn’t for a negligent BB gun discharge :roll_eyes:

Googled “who brews Fossies” but turns out it’s Heineken. Can’t hand on heart support Heineken, because Heineken :nauseated_face:

Remember, the best Dutch beer is actually called Bavaria, and is alcohol free.

I forgot Toyota! :heart:

That said, I’m amazed you didn’t include Carling. Bud Light. Coors. And any other terrible budget lager.
