Hey guys, I'm working on my master's degree and would really appreciate it if any members could take the time to fill out a brief survey about outerwear and social media. Replies are anonymized. Thanks in advance.

Filled out the survey but I do think it would be a lot more helpful if some sort of definition of sustainability was given. Does it mean having a particular certification, or just a brand claiming to be sustainable, or is it just based on my personal perception of whether or not they're sustainable? Seems like almost every larger brand talks about their products being sustainable but at this point I'm very skeptical.

I feel like that was part of the survey. trying to see what people personally think "sustainable" is

Brands need to stop making shit that encourages us to replace replace replace and start building shit that lasts. That's half the sustainability battle.

Sustainability is a blown out over used word that doesn't mean anything, especially when its coming from a brand trying to sell something

Goodwill or anything used will always be the most sustainable option in case anyone is wondering

the first parts of the survey *should* have a description of what the parameters of sustainability are defined by. Gah.

the first page of questions mentions sustainable materials and processes but I couldn't see any more of a description. Might have missed it though. A lot of good questions on the survey, I was just confused about that particular aspect

Done! (You should technically add an "I'm not sure" option on question 12 tho as it applies to personal knowledge)

runforlove2024Brands need to stop making shit that encourages us to replace replace replace and start building shit that lasts.

There are some companies that make more expensive gear that lasts but for a lot of companies (ex. montec) they have zero incentive to build something that lasts more than a few seasons at most.
