The only snow peak thing I own is a blanket but its really nice. More graphic heavy than most outdoorsy brands but a lot of stuff to like.
My white whale is a Snow Peak coverall I found on Grailed that sold before I could afford it. Which now that I think about it is a pretty perfect summary of my relationship to the brand.
Snow Peak is one of my favorite stores to feel poor in
really liked their yak pile layers especially guy https://www.grailed.com/listings/26299011-snow-peak-snow-peak-yak-pile-fleece-shirt

i’d really like some of their titanium mugs with the folding handle, flasks, or sake sets but hard to justify the price when i’d just use it at home and not for camping 😂
their stuff is so beautiful and well designed imo
I have a set of plates, some cutlery, bowls and stuff I use pretty regularly out camping. I'm on the upper extreme of their sizing for clothes so its just not gonna happen even though I love the way it looks.
Recently bought this takibi down coat (either FW20 or 21) by Japanese proxy. Even after Canada's extortionist customs charges and shipping, was $200 cheaper than what it'd cost to buy something comparable locally. Just took it out for a walk in -12 windchill with just a tee underneath. Lightweight and not too warm (good thing -- I used to get dizzy wearing my old parka, which felt like wearing a blast furnace)
I like snow peak and their lookbooks. Sometimes I do wonder if my interest is partly "outdoor brand, japan" but the cuts and fabrics are different enough from patagonia or north face or something to be interesting to me on its own.
The only item that I actually own is this grey jacket that I mainly wear when it rains or when it is very windy, that is functional but that I have a hard time styling. In fact I think I'll make a styling-suggestions thread on it soon

Takibi Down Vest
The Takibi Down Vest is an insulated and fire-resistant utility vest. The fabric is aramid and cotton for water repellency and fire resistance. The vest features adjustable straps, a zip front, dual oversized pouch pockets with snap-secured envelope flaps, dual side loops, oversized back storage pouches, and an additional utility loop at the cur...
I saw this and thought "budget plate carrier"
I'm a big fan and see them as Arcteryx meets Sassafras. Simple designs with cool details and quality materials, lots of recycled materials and use very subtle branding
I've had a handful of things from them and currently have a bd shirt with weird pockets and a pair of down coats, including this one that I picked up this winter that I love
Being a camping company first, it's fire-resistant for use around campfires, but since I haven't winter camped in years, it's perfect for dog walks and leisurely winter strolls to visit squirrel friends
