Volcom
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- My wife’s Volcom bibs and jacket are extremely nice. Have heard no complaints of cold.
- I'm a fan of Volcom and 686 personally.
- I’ve been rocking Volcom since my early-20s and I’m 45 now. I still have clothes from back then because they used to be quality, even the t-shirts. It was such a different brand before it sold out.
- Oof rough loss here especially for Volcom, their outerwear is quality stuff.
- Volcom has a similar line. I fuggin love the shit out of them. But yea, they will soak through if it's dumping.
Cons
- There are some companies like Volcom that are going bankrupt, and you can get some sweet deals on stuff at 60% off right now.
- It was only a matter of time, and I kinda wish it folded before it went critical mass and saturated the market with cheap fast fashion.
- My understanding is that Volcom has become nothing more than a licensing brand -no R&D of their own, just licensing their logo out to various apparel companies.
- They were acquired in 2019 by Authentic Brands, then BlackRock purchased a 30% stake in the same year. Shit doesn’t stay quality after that.
- What happened to Volcom? They once had some decent product. I noticed their quality of everything was heading downhill.

Volcom is no longer one of them.
