Lands End clothing has gone way downhill in recent years, but it is still generally more durable than typical stuff you'd get at places like Target. I can typically wear their items for five years or more. My experience is with the men's side.

Mountain Equipment Coop. They stand behind everything and it's all lasted me decades.

Decathlon brands are pretty much it with me, quechua and the assorted brands they make themselves or allow in store.

whether shoes, rucksacks, hammocks, running shorts, I'm consistently blown away by their extreme comfort and durability, especially for the price.

Wouldn't a general location be important here?

Like if I said that I trust X toilet paper brand that only exists in the US, how would I know that it helped in any way? Maybe you live in Ireland?

Ogio. I have 5 or 6 bags including some luggage. All have held up for 10s of years. Recently the luggage (7 years old) had a zipper break and Ogio just replaced it no questions asked.

Costco. And if they suck, never a question returning.

Flowfold makes great, long-lasting products from recycled materials. I’ve got a few of their products and continue to be impressed.

Lush, specifically their shampoo. I would use other stuff of theirs but I live in a country which they do not sell in, so the shampoo (which lasts for ages) is something I buy a lot of when I can get it.

Apple I generally trust (computers, not phones, those are too expensive and limited).

Hottest take on this site: Apple.

I use my 2011 MacBook Pro to manage my 80k photos. My phone is six years old. My iPad Pro is five? (Edit: I lied, it’s a 2017 model) Years old.

I don’t use their desktops, I use Linux for my servers and windows for playing games. But my Apple shit for casual use has all lasted me an insane amount of time.

My 13 year old MacBook Pro still gets through 1.75 playthroughs of Beetlejuice on max brightness! Full disclaimer, I originally bought it for games and used Windows 7 always plugged in, and only now it has an SSD and OSX and the battery has 30 cycles. BUT STILL

Until you realize you can't replace ram or batteries...
