Okay, let's clarify the brands first, as there seems to be a slight misunderstanding in the names you provided. The two major top-tier outdoor brands acquired by Chinese capital are:
1. "The North Face (北面)": Known as "火柴棍" (Huǒchái Gùn) among consumers in China, likely due to its long history and association with the iconic red logo on a stick.
2. "Columbia (哥伦比亚)": Known as "土拨鼠" (Tǔbōshǔ) in China, likely referencing the "Swoosh" logo that resembles a woodpecker or groundhog.
Now, comparing The North Face (北面/火柴棍) and Columbia (哥伦比亚/土拨鼠) as acquisitions by Chinese capital, here's a breakdown of who is generally considered "stronger":
"The North Face (北面/火柴棍)"
"Acquisition:" Acquired by Fung Group (方圆集团) in 2014.
"Strengths:"
"Strong Brand Recognition:" It's arguably one of the most recognized outdoor brand names globally, even if its direct sales in China are lower than some domestic competitors. The "火柴棍" nickname shows its deep penetration and iconic status.
"Iconic Imagery:" The goggle logo is instantly recognizable.
"Global Reach:" While focused on China,

再不买,明年同款贵两千!
火柴棍和土拨鼠,两大顶级户外品牌,2025年同一天杀回中国。

瑞典火柴棍,1914年诞生,北欧皇室同款。
李宁花大价钱买下,一口气上线两百多款,最贵冲锋衣标价4999。
可惜线下店还没影,想试穿得先网购再退。

美国土拨鼠,1974年出现,珠峰队员指定。
三夫户外拿下独家代理,五十多款先上架,最火羽绒服1499。
北京三里屯快闪店排队到马路对面,小红书打卡笔记一天涨三万。

我蹲了三天直播间,发现三个真相。
火柴棍用料狠,三层GTX面料连帽款,重量比一瓶矿泉水还轻。
土拨鼠更懂年轻人,把登山扣做成手机链,配色直接抄热门球鞋。

李宁给火柴棍的定位是技术天花板,广告片拍得像科幻片。
三夫让土拨鼠走城市通勤路线,地铁广告直接写“下班去爬山”。
价格差了一倍,销量却反着来。

天猫榜单显示,土拨鼠羽绒服月销八千件,火柴棍冲锋衣只有一千五。
评论区里,有人说火柴棍好但贵,有人说土拨鼠便宜却撞衫。
我算了笔账,同样三件套,火柴棍要花七千八,土拨鼠四千出头。

多花的三千八,能买一张去的机票再加一晚营地住宿。
户外圈老炮告诉我,火柴棍的环保面料能穿十年,土拨鼠的版型三年就过时。
但95后更怕撞衫,不怕穿旧。

一个冷知识,土拨鼠在美国官网常年打折,国内1499那款美国卖99刀。
三夫解释是关税和运费,网友吐槽是智商税。
李宁的算盘是先把线上做爆,明年再开十家直营店。

三夫的打法是先把店开满,再慢慢涨价。
现在买谁最划算?
想要拍照好看,直接抄作业选土拨鼠。

想一件穿十年,闭眼入火柴棍。
明年再看,火柴棍线下店开业,价格可能涨三成。
土拨鼠代理到期,三夫会不会续约还是未知数。
最后提醒一句,户外装备不是理财产品,穿得出去才值回票价。
