Uh, Coosa, you answered your own question. TNF has made heavy and bullet 
proof equipment, although the past few years suggests that durability has 
deteriorated. They no longer have the hiker-chic fashion market. Employees 
have left to make good gear at Mountain Hardware and other places.

In summary, a company loses it's focus and business model, and goes 
downhill. Nothing is particularly unique to this, even if you are only 
selling TP.
