tvashtarkatena Posted December 4, 2007 Posted December 4, 2007 Let's do the time warp again. Awesome. Quote
billcoe Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 Wow, they were so far ahead of their time, and made great stuff. Then they just disappeared ...till now. Wow Quote
111 Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 as much as I appreciate the hott 70s folks, where is the NSFW!!! I am on a work puter! (.pdf should make the images undetectable to company, but still!) Quote
Dechristo Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 The Early Winters Catalogs from the late 70's had some tasteful photos, too. I have a couple of their stuff sacks still. Quote
Dechristo Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 Wiki says Early Winters was "the first company to create and sell a consumer product made of Gore-Tex laminates made by W.L. Gore & Associates in Elkton, Maryland." Quote
mccallboater Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 Warmlite never went out of business. I don't get what you are trying to say. Their tents are strong, light, and have a devoted following. Ditto the bags, especially in AK and the Yukon. Quote
AlpineK Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 Early Winters copied the exact Stephenson tent design. I'm not sure if I would give Early Winters that much credit for anything. My buddies and me used a Stephenson tent in AK back in the 80s. It worked great. Quote
Fairweather Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 Are you trying to tell me that the Lady Schick wasn't invented until 1980? Quote
Dechristo Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 My point was simply that Early Winters had some skin shots in their catalogs in the late 70's... nothing more. I found it interesting that they're given credit for first incorporating Gore-Tex into consumer products. Quote
Off_White Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 I'm not sure if I would give Early Winters that much credit for anything. Well, they sure had a kick ass pair of spires named after the company. I've still got an old 2R tent, but the lightweight coating on the floor looks like skin a week after a bad sunburn. Quote
mattp Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 The gold plated Sierra Club cup was pretty sweet. Quote
Dechristo Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 perhaps that post belongs in the "Confident Consumers" thread. Quote
