All that fell on "deaf ears" at the company level & they suggested I use a "third party" repair service at my own cost? No Thanks.
So circling back, I'm looking for some opinions/experience with the VIKTOS brand product, the company is veteran owned and the prices are modest. How's sizing? fit & finish and of course quality? I tend to like to layer my jackets due to the extreme cold here up north. Thanks troops and any/all suggestions are appreciated or other options?
So Viktos is pretty much down the road from me. I have been in the same circles as the people working there, and while I have a hoodie and a few t-shirts, I would put them more as a lifestyle brand vs hard-use gear outfitter. Their quality is decent and I have actually heard a good amount of people who love their training/ tennis shoes, but I don't know if I would call them a Arcteryx replacement. I do a good amount of hunting and most of my camo, layering gear is hunting brands, Kuiu, Sitka, Duck Camp or just Cabelas, which for the money is actually pretty decent, but they can certainly get pricy, I like a lot of what Beyond offers however, I really never find what I'm looking for instock. I'm sure that their are others I am missing. I really like my Kuiu jackets as they deal with 20 degree hikes quite often and really do a great job of warmth, mobility and weight. Over all, I guess I don't know if I would point you to Viktos, but there is so much out there now, I'm sure you can find what your looking for.
