Why Quality Outdoor Gear Matters – The Fenri™ Philosophy

Your outdoor gear is one of your most important foundations as you pursue a fulfilling, active lifestyle. Without high-quality materials that hold up to the elements, you put yourself in a poor spot to enjoy your passion.

Whether it’s low-quality boots that peel apart after a few months or a thin sleeping bag that doesn’t help you stay warm, lackluster outdoor gear catches up to you eventually.

We don’t want that for you. At Fenri, we believe you deserve apparel and gear that reflects the same determination you give to your traveling adventures. 

The Problem: Low-Quality Gear

Low-quality backpacking gear is a term that immediately brings to mind all sorts of inconveniences. Think about the last time you used some travel gear that didn’t hold up to the demands of your trip.

Did you have to go back to an outdoor gear store to get a replacement for your rain jackets, costing you more money in the long run? Maybe you were traveling in a rural area and didn’t have immediate access to a replacement, leaving you to deal with the situation for days or weeks. No matter your personal preference, it's pretty standard to want to enjoy a comfortable hike, feel ounces lighter, and stay dry.

Cheap gear is usually caused by details like:

• Cheap materials
• Inconsistent construction
• Unreliable marketing 
• Poor assembly instructions

Low-quality gear also involves details surrounding the gear’s creation, such as using unsustainable materials or lacking transparency around sourcing. According to a report by Business Wire, 85% of customers around the world are becoming greener in their buying habits. We hear you loud and clear. 

Poor quality is a red light you should pay close attention to. As passionate travelers, we’re deeply familiar with the frustration of dealing with outdoor gear that suddenly fails on you or wears out faster than expected. 

In fact, this frustration is one of the guiding beacons of our philosophy to make high-quality outdoor gear accessible to all. Let's take a look at what high-quality gear actually looks like.

The Solution: Investing In Quality Gear 

Quality outdoor gear embodies a deeper philosophy that lines up with your passion. Items like trekking poles and a backpacking kit aren't just a means to an end – they’re essential equipment so you can enjoy your passion uninterrupted.

We’re passionate about crafting the good stuff: hardy and long-lasting outdoor gear that works with you, not against you. Our vision is to take lightweight gear a step further by only sourcing ethically made materials and celebrating sustainable practices.
