Replying to Companies re-branding product. Happens all the time.

As I said I would in the CoreUPT Q&A article I would make a list of companies that rebrand everyone elses product. Just to show you how common it is.

Note that: CoreUPT is using Dynastar molds but changing the flex, bases, and graphics, then coming out with their own molds next year. Just so that doesn't start again.

OK

BOOTS:

1. Lange makes Rossignol and Roxy.

-The vast majority of Rossignol's and Roxy's boots. Notice the Banshee and Bsquads similarities. Identical, except for a piece of carbon fibre Rossi puts in and the Booster strap Lange uses. All the gear guides BS about Rossi creating this vibram sole for hiking? BS.

2. Nordica makes Head Mojo JO Pro.

-The Head Mojo boot with the crazy graphics? Noridca Dobermann. As well the Dobermann designer makes the Atomic Race boots (and the Nuke). While I can't say for sure they are from the same mold, definitely the same designer.

Boot molds cost $300,000 each to make. Very costly. Makes sense with all the research put it too.

BINDINGS:

1. Naxo makes Dynastar's touring binding.

2. Salomon makes Atomic's freestyle bindings. Atomic used to use the old P18s for their team and rebrand them.

3. Look and Rossignol's are identical, now so are CoreUPT's.

4. Tyrolia makes Fischer's and 4FRNT's bindings. It seems like Tyrolia changed names to Head, but same shit. I think Movement uses it as well. This one confuses me that so many people would want to use this binding.

Bindings as well take a lot of development and I am sure are costly to produce. Make's sense.

GOGGLES:

1. Scott makes Atomic's and Peak Performance's goggles.

2. A lot of companies have their lenses made by Smith and Oakley.


None of this is secret. It's quite obvious if you even look at the products. Just putting it out there because people seem to be freaking about it like it's never happened before. This list was made in 5 minutes, I am quite sure there are a lot more boots too.
