It is also my opinion Salomon is underrated, even if the product comes

from a country whose government I disagree with.

Wha? Firstly, that seems a pretty bizarre way to chose kit - based on
the country where the manufacturer is based. I mean, the
manufacturer's staff may disagree with their government just as much
as you do.

And secondly, I can't recall the French government doing much that has
invited international criticism for quite a while. Not since the
Rainbow Warrior, at least

A lot of Americans are in a snit over lack of French support for the
Iraq war.
