Great list, especially about the clothing. I'm in the process of replacing all of my synthetic clothing, I absolutely hate that crap. The only thing I can see myself wearing tech material again is when run. If i can wear Merino wool to run in the summer then I will, synthetic clothes just radiate odors like crazy
I didn't really learn the difference until I had to be out in the field for 15+ hours a day, at which point I discovered the limitations of synthetic fibers. The marketing is insanely effective on the masses.
Yeah for real. I guess it's way cheaper to make that crap than natural fibers. Under Armor has done a fantastic job of making us believe this is some magic material
If we're talking about shitty materials and effective marketing, I think Lululemon takes the absolute cake. I'm shocked that the company hails from hippy dippy Vancouver, which is supposedly full of eco-warriors (it is, I've been to Vancouver, and those people are awesome, but Lululemon is just full of shit).
My brother swears by their ABC pants, but I have some similar ones from Costco that cost $15 and are just as good. My wife loves their yoga pants too, but they're so overpriced it's ridiculous.
