Learn More About Alpine Design And If It's The Right Brand For You

- Identifying the right brand

Alright, before I start my review on Alpine Design products, I want to be sure that we're both on the same page on what company we're talking about. Alpine design is a clothing company that's privately owned by the sports chain Sports Authority. They mainly sell outdoor activity products such as tents, jackets, shoes.. etc. Now, Alpine Design isn't the same as Alpine Designs, with an ("S"). Alpine Designs was apparently a separate clothing company that existed in the 1960's, and sold basically the same products. The products I will be talking about in this article are manufactured by Alpine Design of Sports Authority, not Alpine Designs.

- Alpine Design products

Alpine design makes clothing for both genders, mainly aimed towards outdoor activities and sports. They are also commonly known as a "budget brand," as their products are fairly priced and made from budget material. I once owned a pair of Alpine design slippers, they were comfortable and useful while they were in tact. Unfortunately, they didn't last me longer than a few months. The sole slowly started to flop and tear away from the rest of the slipper, and there was no stopping it once it started to tear. I would guess their products varied based on their purpose. Their clothing pieces like shorts and jackets seem to last for a very long time as long as they aren't abused. Their jackets are made from 100% polyester and do a decent job of providing you with shelter from the elements.

- Impressive products

Though they're considered a budget brand, they certainly have their own strengths in superior product design. In my opinion, their backpacks have always held true. From their various varieties of backpacks, they are constructed with the outdoors-man in mind. The featured Alpine design ruck sack backpack features padded shoulder straps for elevated comfort while on long hikes. It also includes a main compartment with hydration sleeve for a fast and convenient use of your water. This backpack is on the lighter side when it comes to hiking backpacks, and I'll be putting it to the real test and take it on a backpacking trip with me. The backpack isn't really deigned to hold several weeks worth of things for you, but you might be able to carry a weeks worth of essentials. Either way, this is this next Alpine Design product on my list.

- Final thoughts

Overall, Alpine design delivers what they claim in their advertisements. Their budget material brand products serve their purpose for the time period that they are taken care of. Some products (like pieces of clothing) will last longer than others due to their material design. Either way, if you're heading into the great outdoors and don't have too much to spend on gear, Alpine design could be just the solution for you.
