Hi guys, 
  
I was readng this  chat for a while but now it's time to say a word here. 
  
I do use Bask equipment for years and I am desagreed with this felow Miloshk. I am former Russian and know this company for years. 6 years ago I've bouhjt a bag Trekking and was very heppy with it. Now my 3-year-old use it - piing, spiling water on it, but it stil is a usful sliping bag. May be they had problems few years ago, when they were srating, but by now I would say it's a very reliable brand with very good prices for it's quolity. After they came to American market I do not doubt where to buy things. I've got a bounch of stuff just recenly , the service is nice as well. 
  
I can give you a list of equipment I have. My feedback for every item is positive. 
  
Sleeping bags: Trekking   Spantik   ( combined together they make a good winter bag) 
  
Jackets: 
Khan Tengry   
Rishikesh shell with flece liner ( do not remember the name )   I also have waterproof pants   
down sweater   
  
Back packs: 
big one for 80 liters   
Back country 30 liters snowboarding pack  
Yocksport 14 liters for city use   
  
I also use their underwear, down mitts and hats and my husband just got Valdez parka for this winter. 
  
I won't recommend  tents - they are pretty havy and pricy - or boots . But I think for down they are the best on the morket for the moment. 
  
Sorry for being agressive, but Russa has not much to be proud of now days and I don't like to see when people don't want to acsept what is good.
