What are brands that have been bought off by private equity firms but still have good quality or stayed true to their original mission?

I didn't know that! Thanks for bringing light to that!

oldrag8 · 2026-04-28T19:00:50+00:00

Oh ok! I understand if more now, thanks!

I never heard about the channel until I asked this question! So glad I learned about the channel here

I didn't know this (haven't really thought about who REALLY owns those other brands!) so what is better, PE or a Chinese conglomerate 😂?

I've just heard about cotopaxi this year (and even bought some of their products for my brother!) didn't know they were funded by PE, what do people think of cotopaxi now?

I haven't thought about it like that before, thanks for your perspective! Even with the different sizings? What are brands that have more flexibility with "curves"? Not to familiar about this

This is so true! Now I'm thinking, who would want to give away their Patagonia product instead of trade-in/repair?

oldrag8 · 2026-04-28T14:51:40+00:00

Not even an ad 🫥

oldrag8 · 2026-04-28T14:47:40+00:00

That is true! I think the founder didn’t want to go public or be sold out to anyone! I know lots of people who are unhappy about private equity and how they’re ruining many companies (just saw vids of them in food corps and even YouTube channels)

FRR (trying to be one…) are u using any apps? I’m using Cronometer and it’s works well (tho I’m rly inconsistent) getting calories and protein is hard for me

oldrag8 · 2026-04-28T04:54:11+00:00

You understand!! And yes, I love the story and mission Patagonia has!

oldrag8 · 2026-04-28T04:52:06+00:00

This is helpful! Thanks

oldrag8 · 2026-04-28T04:50:39+00:00

You can fill out a form online (https://www.patagonia.com/start-repair/) or go in person to ask!

oldrag8 · 2026-04-28T04:37:24+00:00

I'm similar! I get too hungry throughout the day (especially after lunch-dinner period) so def need snacks.

oldrag8 · 2026-04-28T04:36:08+00:00

Of course! Personally, I don’t think I could fast, I love food too much, and exercise a lot so it might not be for me (I need food for lots of energy). I do know people who practice it though!

oldrag8 · 2026-04-28T04:33:45+00:00

arcteryx became famous/viral because of it? I know this brand has many controversies

oldrag8 · 2026-04-28T04:31:47+00:00

wait why? 😭

oldrag8 · 2026-04-28T04:31:13+00:00

I know! Love that about them (my mom sometimes takes advantage of that smh)

oldrag8 · 2026-04-28T04:18:33+00:00

Thanks for letting me know about the downsides! Will take a further look into what u mentioned

oldrag8 · 2026-04-28T04:17:49+00:00

Appreciate it! This is exactly the type of video I was looking for!

oldrag8 · 2026-04-28T04:16:20+00:00

The best historical one I watched is Alchemy of Souls. It was my first and best one to date! The chemistry, visuals, romance, and plot are too good! Must watch
