Interesting.

Letting go of Camelback and those other brands is not going to have a huge impact on MEC as other companies can and are filling that void easily. Letting go of Black Diamond (isn't Scarpa a connected brand?) would actually threaten their competitive ability to offer a comprehensive range of climbing and ski touring gear.
