It's interesting to me that if you're a "sportsman" in the classic sense, ie hunting, fishing, hiking, then you can buy gear from companies like Filson that brag about longevity and warranty; if you do a sport, like cycling or skiing, or motocross, (or any sort of speed-sport) well, technology marches on unchecked and pretty soon your expensive gear that has lots of life left will be obsolete, until it's rediscovered by the vintage crowd.
