Website says that their online store is no longer operational. Any idea what happened?

Have a jacket on the way from them right now and am worried I fucked up. I've always heard they made good gear, did that change?

Yes, FW is dead. FSSC (Full Stack Supply Co.) pulled the plug last spring with virtually no messaging. This is likely to focus on their snowboard brand (United Shapes) and the new Phaenom boot brand. And, of course, Faction

I'm not worried about being screwed, just wondering if their gear went downhill and I'm gonna have to deal with returns or something

It was likely a funding and long-term P&L reason, not a quality issue. Your jacket/ FW product should be just fine.

Their collection was far too big and too expensive to support their small scope as a company. We cut ties with them last year and glad we did I suppose. For us it was mostly that they kept saying they're a ski and snowboard brand, but only ever posted snowboarding on the social media and the only skier on their team was Pollard.
