Is ALPS a good outdoor gear brand?
Question by : Is ALPS a good outdoor gear brand?
I know REI sells this brand but I have read mixed reviews about this manufacturer. Anyone know how it compares to REI branded stuff? I know it’s not going to be as good as North Face, Marmot, MSR, etc. but was wondering how it compared to other outdoor gear companies. Thanks!

Alps is a good brand and a good value and the reviews say the same thing . My friend has the three man tent and he loves it.
I own their self inflating mattress and it is fantastic.
They’re a smaller company but they get it right and one of the few that actually still gives more than
they have to for the price.
As far as REI branded gears, they’re probably a bit below that but REI gear is up there with the other high end gear you mentioned as well and the price reflects that .
And the fact it isn’t sold at kmart and target or Walmart like Coleman does now is a good sign as well .
It’s not cheap but it’s a good value .

I consider them along the same level and quality of Coleman, Kelty and Eureka products. A mid to low price range of products made in China or Pakistan. The trick to choosing these over a higher end product is where you buy it, make sure they got a good return policy should you decide it’s not worth the price you paid for it.
