If you really want to get aggravated, review their Terms of Use. For the privilege of buying from them, they impose mandatory arbitration with a class action waiver, albeit you may opt out within 30 days by writing to their legal counsel, and limit your damage claims to $100 or the price of your purchase. Of course, since mandatory arbitration is so wonderful they have carved out their own trademark claims from being subject to arbitration. Way to stick it to your customers!

On that note, EVO.com is run by a diehard former pro skier (Bryce Phillips), has three brick and mortar locations that are basically community hubs by themselves, and is a rad company all the way around.
Unless they trademark EVO and start going after extra virgin olive oil makers the world over....they'll be getting my money. Way smaller selection than BC.com, but a good online biz to support.
Great sale on skis going on right now too - ends in a few hours.

In case anyone's wondering and it hasn't been posted (didn't wade through this whole thread), here are the brands owned by TSG. I'm not going to shop any of these companies so long as this ridiculousness continues.

Please be respectful to the gearheads and CSRs and let them know it’s nothing personal at all, you just want their boss’s boss’s boss’s boss’s IP firm and brand advisors to fuck off because they are going after their very own customers, people who help make the outdoors recreation ecosystem meaningful with valuable services and goods not offered by a mega conglomerate like TSG Consumer Group, so the overlords not need prey on every single company that potentially maybe just a little bit threatens the monolithic brand value of a single fucking word.

Really Backcountry.com??
I have not shopped at backcountry dot com for years. I always find better deals elsewhere. I get pro deals mostly and I’m quite selective in what I buy retail. I don’t buy anything from any company in the corporate profile. Not on purpose, I looked through the profile and I don’t see anything I ever buy.

Canyon bikes really screwed over a friend of mine, and it wasn't about a bike or warranty issue, but something that truly affected his/her life. Can't go into details, but Canyon can seriously F-off.
Anyhow, haven't really bought anything from BC since I found out Moosejaw has an everyday 20% discount for military and first responders, plus their awesome 50% rewards around Black Friday. Score some major deals if you plan ahead.

Haha. I learned about Flylow sitting at a bar while Dan poured the drinks. The hookup code he gave me for his site was 666. I went and picked up my jacket from a box under his front porch. Dude is legit!
And tbh, I was like “I don’t know man, a telemark specific clothing company? People still do that?” I’m glad it all worked out.
