Poster: A snowHead
|
I believe it's a Swiss engineered clothing line. Sold as full bells and whistles type of cutting edge innovation.
Has anyone here used it / is using it? - Is it worth the cost (!), or is it no better than any other line?
Example specs:
Four way full stretch; 900 goose down fill; sonic welding; ceramic laminate; one square metre of high performance membrane redistributes up to 27 litres of moisture; etc.
I ask as I've seen a Mountain Force Sonic Down Jacket in my size, for a reasonable price.
Cheers!

Never used it but I use hestra gloves and Swedish motorbike pants... fantastic quality. Most of the Swedish outdoor gear is very highly rated.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I can find only two references to the brand:
One is their main website - but it's limited to a list of stockists and a fairly brief marketing piece on each bit of kit. The kit looks high spec and very worthwhile, but unsuprisingly there's an absence of customer feedback.
The other web page was an old discussion (2008) on Epic. It was comparing the high quality of the Kjus range, and how it's expensive but for many it's a more worthwhile range than Spider etc. Someone posted a quick reference to Mountain Force and compared it to the Kjus high end kit.
It all sounds positive, but there's no user reviews which is making me a little hesitant. I have used Kjus, and while I think it's a ridiculous price to pay for outdoor clothing, it is effective kit.

The label on my Mountain Force fleece states 'Swiss Engineered', 'Made in China'.
It’s certainly a very nice piece of clothing.

Swiss apparently!
It appears to be one of those brands that is priced high and then sold 40-70% off to make it seem like a bargain... Personally I'm always wary of over-hyped or heavy marketing and would want to touch the thing before considering parting with any cash. Can you get free returns on it?

MF is a budget brand which is (was?) part of the Kjus group. May have sold it on. Not sure if Kjus exists still, not seen if for years.
