Tariffs: Defining The Impossible Choices Facing Outdoor Brands

Today on the show Colin is joined by outdoor industry insider Eoin Comerford to check in on Eoin's 2025 predictions for the outdoor industry given how things have gone off of the trails over the past month (05:56).

Then Eoin walks us through the model he put together to demonstrate the impacts the current tariffs that are in place are having on a small outdoor brand(16:15). That leads to Colin & Eoin talking about the amount of brands that are publicly addressing the tariff situation, searching for signs of hope, and what kind of timeline we are on (26:42).

Lastly it's a very lighthearted edition of The Parting Shot as Colin & Eoin remember why they are in the outdoor industry to begin with (39:34).
