Golite 2.0??

Wierd, I know about the original owner's new company "My Trail Co." but I thought the Golite brand was dead.Dogs are excellent judges of character, this fact goes a long way toward explaining why some people don't like being around them.

Hopefully they will have picked up some lessons on inventory control before they officially start up again.The road to glory cannot be followed with much baggage.

My guess is that My Trail is a temporary company until Golite fully get's out of Bankruptcy. The Golite brand is so much better then My Trail.Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.
Dr. Seuss -
this is somewhat confusing; i'm sure google can tell ya the whole story if interested. i think my memory is correct...
golite was liquidated in bankruptcy. it's gone, kaput, finished.
here's the weird part -- when golite was a viable company they sold the name "golite" to timberland and then bought a license from timberland to use the name golite. so coup has absolutely no right to use the name golite (except as follows below).
coup purchased the "patterns" (don't know the technical term) to the old golite gear. so he can make the old stuff; just can't call it golite.
rasty found a golite website that is getting ready to go active. this tells me (speculating) that timberland is either going to start a line of products under the golite name -- or they sold the name to another company that is going to sell "golite" gear.
of course -- if another company bought the name -- that other company could just as well be my trail as anyone else.2,000 miler -
It will be interesting to see how this actually turns out.The road to glory cannot be followed with much baggage.

I suppose Golite could have bought the name back...Gofigure.

A WHOIS lookup of GOLITE is interesting:
whois.icann.org/en/lookup?name=golite.com
Name: Domain R Administrator
Organization: TBL Licensing LLC
Mailing Address: 200 Domain Drive,, Stratham New Hampshire 03885 US
Phone: +1.6037729500

And TBL Licensing? Why that is Timberland:
timberland.com/customer-service/legal/trademarks.html
VFC is their parent company.
So, the person above who speculated Timberland is reviving the name gets a cigar. More than likely. -

The founder did a recent interview on the cascade hiker podcast. Their current business plan is to reintroduce products as the company had the capital to and the release order is based on their previous profitiability/popularity of the items. Hopefully the pack in question is high on the list

I got the feeling they lost almost all the money on clothing.

been a while, but i recall him saying that my trail wasn't going to do "casual clothing" as that wasn't successful the first time around.
and i'm waiting for the 30L myself.2,000 miler -
According to the interview the biggest problem was their venture into opening multiple retail stores. The clothing line certainly didn't help, but it was the commerical rents that really sank them.

It's a niche market, they'd have been better off going mail order.

I know Campmor used to carry Go-Lite packs, so they don't have to open their own retail stores.
