YETI makes jackets now. And apparently, everyone else wants in on the apparel business, too.
On this week's Parting Shot, Colin welcomes Gear Abby host Shawnté Salabert to ask a simple question: Does the outdoor industry really need more clothes?
First, Shawnté takes aim at YETI's new technical apparel collection and the suggestion that a cooler and drinkware company is suddenly coming for Patagonia and The North Face.
Then Colin expands the conversation to NNormal and MiiR, two more brands making moves into technical apparel.
More jackets. More brands. More stuff. Do we really need any of it? That's this weeks parting shot.
