Mine would be the berghaus lightning coat, just above knee length, had one for 20 plus years. Could make it short if you wanted too but full length was always dry in the worst of weather without the need for waterproof trousers.
If there is one piece of kit that’s gone, you could bring back what is it ?

Proper Karimor KSBs, before they were bought by Lonsdale (or whoever owns Sports Direct)
Had the KSB “outback” desert boots. Probably the best boots I’ve owned, great fit and solid.
New KSBs aren’t the same

Berghaus Extrem insulated and very water resistant coat. Can't find reference to it in any of their back catalogues, with all the coats called the same thing looking completely different. Packs down small, synthetic insulation, extremely comfortable.
Triple Point ceramic, so much better than goretex in our sodden wet.

Sold my ventile SASS and bought a Snowsled then later found a gaberdine SAS smock cheap, so I am fine with that. But ...
One thing I miss is Gene Ingram's knives ... just knowing he was still making was a comfort. But he's stopped now. Banged himself up in the workshop, then retired.
The other thing I miss is those plain green Aussie tarps. Why did I let mine go? ... I will never understand it ... unless I was flat broke and just can't recall.

That was a great company. Think he retired on the money I spent there. So many choices in their smocks.SASS Ventile smocks. Mine is hanging by a thread!
Anything sold by Survival Aids (old shop)!
Outwell stainless steel kettle, a solid bit of kit.
Swedish snow smocks, especially the button fronted jacket version
Bulldog cookset (not the miltec clone)

I think there's also the kit that was a sensible price but has now gone silly that I wish I'd bought or not sold on...RM Wilkinson Sword (paid £95 new) , Swedish army cookset (especially the stainless version), CWC G10 watches (they're not even that good!! controversial, I know
) ....the list could go on but it'd depress me
