Also situated on the outdoor-store-strip of West Broadway, Taiga has everything you need for an expedition into the great outdoors. Known for their factory-direct apparel for men, women and kids, the locally made Polartec fleece jackets, vests and pullovers are a more affordable alternative to some of the big name active wear brands. The shop also stocks plenty of camping gear and accessories. If you’re heading out on a winter camping expedition, invest in a good goosedown sleeping bag that is lightweight, water repellent and perfect for retaining heat on those colder nights.
This is a very special brand of outdoor products for Vancouverites. While German owned and engineered, Taiga’s innovative and reputable gear is all proudly designed and manufactured in Vancouver. In fact the Taiga jacket was an iconic piece of clothing in this city for several decades before the boom of bigger business models. Thankfully, Taiga has weathered the retail storm and is still alive and well — their great outdoor wear speaks to why.
