Descente Allterrain Jacket

Aitor Throup iirc

One of my favourite all time fits

y or n?

Adidas White Mountaineering?

No idea - anyone here read The Supermodern Wardrobe?

>>10770945

Glanced at it, too much emphasis on design, little emphasis on function.

>>10770941
Suede is the least technical material ever. To quote someone on sufu or whatever "I love suede because it is resistant to a light breeze and literally nothing else"

>>10770960
Whoever wrote it absolutely adores Osti as well, would be interesting to see a vol.2 including Acronym, Veilance etc

>>10770918
> posts techwear pic
> doesn't name jacket

fag.

>>10770962

I get that. It's white mountaineering and the look is pretty tight.

Techware is mixing style and function as you require it. You don't need to go all out and wear synthetics. Mix that shit up and be original.

Wear what provides the best function and best style for your environment.

>>10770972
You could have just asked, it's BBS11 'technical parka' - might still be on grailed if you're lucky

>>10770918

what are some brands in the US that are similar to maharishi in price/style?

>>10770933
lol this looks like shit. doesnt this dude post on sufu? embarrassing at his old age

>>10770918

Basic questions:
List of brands/lines?

Give us high end, mid-tier and cheap-tier options.

>>10771380

Highend: Arcteryx Veilance, White Mountaineering

Mid-tier: Maharishi

Shit tier: Outlier (also known as reddit MFA tier)

>>10771440
Thanks, are the Outlier OG pants really shit-tier? I was thinking about picking up a pair to see. How's fit, any idea?

Also, fuck le reddit fags.

>>10771440
>>10771502
openly shitting on mfa is so passe

Passe the fuck outta here please.

>>10771502

It's a pretty shit pair of slacks. Check out Veilance pants or White Mountaineering's stuff.

>>10771523
wow you're so cool i wish i could be like you ^.^

>>10771533
>>10771523

stay on topic, /fa/gs

>>10770960
funny how you say this when the real reason ppl wear techwear is because of the aesthetics

>>10770960
welcome to techwear

>>10770945
Undercover FW 07-08, the first "Earmuff Maniac" collection. The second, in FW 09-10, is better but it's still amazing.

That particular jacket is legendary, usually just called the "Undercover Diaplex Parka" after the membrane used, although Jun's done other stuff with Diaplex.

>>10770960
Also Supermodern Wardrobe is a book of cultural crit, not a field manual for physical survival or a textbook for outdoor wear designers.

>>10770962
Suede, used right, can be pretty damn durable, since it doesn't scuff and is unlikely to crack. It can certainly be more durable than a lot of synthetics. That's pretty tech. As for resistance, there's nothing stopping a company from adding a membrane.

>>10770933
the fuck lmao

>>10771380
i copped a killtech jacket in Montana for 100 bucks
windproof,waterproof, and breathable didnt take it off the whole trip
sorry for the shitty pic

>>10770933
>shirt
>completely shit cuffing
>meme shoes
why

>>10772074
And also like the idea that "tech" is all about being this untouchable, impervious thing closed off from the world is as shitty as it gets.

Clothing, certainly clothing like this, should be to take you more fully into the world, to engage with it and live in it.

More practically, since when is breathability not important? I sure as hell don't want a membrane put under suede in the summer.

>>10771096
what pants/shoes are those?

>>10771440
Do you own a pair of Outlier pants?

There is a reason they are so popular dude.

>>10772320

Easy now Mr. Reddit.

Do you own a pair of Veilance trousers? They're clutch.

>>10772074
>>10772228
>>10770994
tech to me is about practicality. Style meets function.

>>10772387
No I don't, but I'll believe you because Veilance has a good reputation...like Outlier does.

thinkin about copping the Y-3 QR Boosts. anyone own and pair and want to convince me to drop on a pair?

also, what is the consensus on sweat pants/track pants here? I often wear sweat pants or a pair of track pants with different outfits and like the result, usually. is that a techwear no-no?

one of them are considered 'windproof' sweat pants, and I will admit, although little testing with wind, they do seem to be very warm.

>>10772259
Maharishi Snopants, Svensson Classic High

>>10772676
lol it doesn't matter what you wear
there are no 'techwear rules'
wear what you like and what you think looks good
not everything needs to be 'muh technical windproof piss recycling base jumper pants'

>>10772676
Make your own style, genre is bullshit, at best just a way of getting people in one thread to talk about similar clothes. And don't care about anything but your own experience with the clothes.

Do you like the way the windproof sweats feel on your body? The particular kind of warmth? The way they move with you? The feel of the fabric? Do you think they suit you, in terms of how they look and fit with what you're wearing and who you are?

>>10772854
I feel the same. I know very little about techwear in general, although I do like it very much, though. I'm hoping not everyones one of those 'muh technical windproof piss recycling base jumper pants' people, as you eloquently put it.

>>10772892
There will always be some people like that, especially in techwear because most of the coolest stuff is very expensive. Shitting on cheaper gear and less technical fabrics is a way for them to feel validated.

I'm sure half of the haters on /fa/ don't even own the stuff they're pretending to be intimately familiar with.

Most people are nice though and recognize that you gotta start somewhere when building a wardrobe.

>>10771523
>It's a pretty shit pair of slacks. Check out Veilance pants or White Mountaineering's stuff.

Jesus what dreadful suggestions

OP Here, posting more inspo

>>10772938
I don't think some QR Boosts are a great start for starting to build a wardrobe honestly. You can get cheaper shoes which fit the aesthetic and there are more important things to spend the money on like a shell or good bag.

Picked up the SISP comfort gabardine cargos today. Fucking amazing. Several UK stores have em on sale.

>>10773020
Nice trouser. How much did you get 'em for?

>>10773027
Flannels had em at 40% off on Christmas day at £173 (£10 more than ACGs).
Triads and Aphrodite also have them. Guessing they'll sit for a while until final sale since cargos aren't all that popular over here whereas they sold out pretty quick in the US.

>>10772228
>I sure as hell don't want a membrane put under suede in the summer.

What about
a) wearing shoes with a membrane when it is rainy (no need to put suede on top of fit, i will get fucked
b) wearing lightweight mesh/canvas shoes when it hot
?

This way you can get rid of suede which is unpractical, useless shit.

>>10772854
>>10772938
Fucking this.
I wear Uniqlo/North Face items all the time and they're fine as fuck, despite not being approved by memesters who only swear by acronym.

>>10773088
This

just remember a lot of /fa/ are actually (like, in real life) autistic children

>>10773056
Nice, enjoy them dude

>>10773075
Suede is no more or less practical than canvas for footwear, really. Certainly more durable. I've never owned a pair of canvas shoes that didn't wind up with holes in them inside a year.

But again, there's no reason to be purist about this shit. One fit idea I'm digging now?

Cotton jacket with leather sleeves and pony fur on the pocket, boo hoo, it looks cool.

>>10773125
Correction, cow hair, not pony fur.

>>10773010
honestly, I've just got a soft spot for Y-3s in general. Bag is covered as of recently (DSPTCH shoulder bag).

I do wear most of the cheaper stuff, but what I like about other brands are the lack of labeling. I just recently got an anorak from 4dimension and there's no branding, as far as I can see. I really like that. I own a North Face jacket as well, its just.. idk overwhelming to an outfit having that big, white 'North Face' signature popping off the jacket, for me at least.

I haven't looked back since buying the anorak. Really satisfied with it.

>>10773258
Fair enough then, if you think QR Boosts will fit with the style you see yourself wearing and you have the money, go for it.

This is what my wardrobe consists of so far, I've been building it as kind of a compact travel system.

- Outlier Slim Dungarees, light but the stitching is poor and they're not very water resistant, probably wouldn't get them again

- Finisterre merino shirts, they're awesome, they can go for days between washing and they're releasing them in more colours and styles.

- Uniqlo Airism underwear, I've worn these for a week straight, they weigh nothing and feel silken

- Sherpa Adventure Gear Kailash, 80gsm Primaloft gold insulated so even though it has great water resistance it doesn't matter if it gets wet, the hood has a framework inside so it stays on your head when you wear it, no matter the wind. Slim fit too.

- John Smedley pullover, it's Merino, nice and light and I wanted something English

- Pantharella socks because nobody else makes Merino wool socks in Fairisle

All I need to finish it is a set of shoes or boots, I've been using a pair of New Balance 577 but they're starting to fall apart after barely a year.

>>10773322
Very practical, nice.

>>10773322
If you don't mind buying from Nike, I'd recommend the Field General Free QS. They're super comfy with the free sole, incredibly light, and surprisingly durable. I've had mine for over a year and the only sign of wear is the dirt I get on them.

>>10773394
kill yoursself

>>10770933
w2c pants? Like this a lot.

>>10774065

details on this great fit, vests are wicked

>>10770918
todays fit, was cold so i got crazy with the layers

>>10774595
wich isnt noticeable in this picture, i sure am special

Why is it called techwear? Nerds don't wear this shit, it should be called something like Synthwear, since it's all synthetic

anyone own this? i've been thinking about getting it but the sleeves look really tight

>>10774595
id on pants?

>>10774625
its named that way because of the use of "technical" fabrics
synthwear maybe makes more sense but sounds worse imo

>>10774040
Are those even still for sale anywhere?

What sort of shorts are the ones in pic related based off?

>>10774659
Qasa

Adidas make a cheap version of them now

>>10774669
The shorts, right, not the shoes?

>>10774628
north face diablo, theyre great for runing around when its cold

is the jacket goretex? or just overpriced hipster trash?

Goretex = shit

Ventile = unreal tier

oh you mean all designer clothing?

>>10776328
Overpriced trash. It's just cotton.

>>10777242
you're right but the rest of the time you are a wearing a crispy and noisy jacket

they came in today :D

>>10778006
man they must be moving super fast wow look at them go :^]

>>10777898
not entirely just wishful thinking.

sick of sweating my white ass all year round and only being remotely comfortable in shorts

I'm not a robot

>>10777981

Works well in the rain. Fucking reddit doesn't realize it was designed to impede rain.

/fa/ get more like mfa everyday.

>>10778006
my negev!

>>10778006
like fucking gold dust

I came across this jacket today. Immediately thought of this thread... should i cop?

>>10779023
pretty sick jacket.
Looks different and dont have bait branding all over it. id say cop

Can we talk about fabric
Polartec, Ripstop, Cordura, GoreTex, what else is out there, what's the lowdown on each one, what's coming next?

>>10779038
Silnylon, schoeller, sunbrella, supplex

>>10779035
LuLuLemon, so I guess technical enough... lack of branding makes me happy.

I do have a line on a cheap Veilance Field Jacket though. Might just say fuck it and grab both.

>>10779038
HyVent is good, not goretex teir tho ofc.
Its what north face give you after there shit stuff, but not quiet at there goretex level kit.

Its worth remembering as well that you can get cheap goretex with just splits on your within a year, its all down the seems with that stuff. It makes or breaks it, literally.

>>10777928
I like it save for the shoes. It's just a bit off imo but I'm sure some would like it, and I'd understand why.

ID on the jacket? And nice Asuka charm ;3

>>10779048
Forgot about all of the new fleece alternatives. Any idea if there are any to avoid? Patagonia is using vegan fleece now (and so is topo designs) so I'm assuming the quality is pretty good

New belt :)

Got this yesterday
Best tech fits/new brands I've ever seen (except in Out Standing)....buy it if you live near a Japanese bookstore

>>10779081
>>10779089
that's cool

Just ordered.
Been looking at jackets and midlayers for a few days now, can't make up my mind.

>>10779163
Congrats hope it's nice
Get a white mountaineering jacket or anything from visvim

>>10779081
it's this right? https://www.bagjackshop.com/en/apparel/next-level-belt-25/a-1196/

seems fuckin dope is it worth it? wouldn't mind more pics also.

I should really stop going on Nike when I'm wasted

In other news, these things are tyte.

>>10779191
YEAH MAN THAT IS ONE TYTE BOX

>>10779205

>>10779211
Not bad. Lunarfresh are more "tyte" tho

>>10779231

Well I didn't really want the all black ones- I think the shoes provide decent contrast to whatever you're wearing as far as bottoms and tops go. Assuming it's all black of course

>>10770941
They look a lot like CRT300's
Take a look at those too, if you like color maybe
Those are awesome tho.

>>10779183
http://www.body-armour-protection.co.uk/lightweight-combat-belt-cobra-buckle.html
Way cheaper

>>10779048
Hyvent is on most of North Faces top of the line shit too, the fuck you talking about.

>>10779638
HyVent is a brand, not an actual material with distinct characteristics. TNF slaps it on all their waterproof-breathable stuff that isn't Gore-Tex.

I don't pay much attention to TNF because their stuff is generally a few notches below other companies', so I can't speak to all the variations, but I imagine that like most in-house WP/B brands it has everything ranging from shitty coatings to actual quality three-layer membrane fabrics.

http://www.rei.com/learn/expert-advice/rainwear.html
http://www.rei.com/learn/expert-advice/rainwear-how-it-works.html

These two articles by REI are good introductions, some stuff is slightly out of date and it's focused almost exclusively on Gore and eVent, but you'll understand what's going on with things after reading them.

>>10779600
>implying a cheap belt is worth buying, ever

>>10779734
> implying that garbage from Berlin isn't exactly the same belt but at a 1000% markup

>>10779734
>>10779738
They are absolutely identical.

>>10779734
>>10779738

HFS, come on, they're both nylon belts with Cobra buckles, but they look pretty different if you actually pay attention. There's nothing wrong with either, and there's good reasons to get either one depending on what you're going for. Personally, the more elegant, less tactical look of the Bagjack suits my style better.

The Bagjack one costs more almost certainly mostly because it's made by a smaller company without ginormous defense contracts.

>>10779734
>9

Would you buy my effayyy branded garbage bags?

>>10779732
Like not even lying my 3/1 north face has almost all the shit that the first link talks about down to the little hood thing for the zippers.

An you can just reapply that rain repellent to make sure it's still waterproof

Where is it a "Few notches," Below other companies? Or is it just because it's not in the 500$+ range?

>>10779734
SHIT UR RIGHT I'm gonna pay 3X the price for an extra piece of plastic.

>>10777242
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IurjDMuC12U
Ventile is fine. I much prefer it over standard Gore-tex outside of the winter months. Pro is more bearable.

What are some good ladies pants?

>>10779638
>>10779738
>>10779771
hello, guy with the belt here
Its the cobra buckle yes, and it cost me £20 from someone that makes them on ebay.
There all the same apart from mine is unbranded and cost half the price.
I fully recommend getting one tho, one of the only techwear belts i know of.
Pic related, check the belt hes using ;)

>>10780283
didnt mean to tag one of the replys there, woops

>>10779771
>The Bagjack one costs more almost certainly mostly because it's made by a smaller company without ginormous defense contracts.

No it's pure prestige pricing. "Intelligent Armour" isn't a defense contractor. The only difference is they aren't selling the belts for fashion.

>>10770941

Ye

>>10774659
just get techy lookin adidas shorts imo

>>10779211
these are fresh

>>10778503
No, it wasn't. It was designed for immersion suits, and it only needed to keep out water for 20 minutes or so. That was like 80 years ago. Ventile is reasonably breathable and good for snow, but it gets waterlogged in rain. If you didn't realize that, you've clearly never worn it.

>>10779792

I'll try to respond better later, but generally it's not as well tuned for performance and IMO the aesthetic isn't as good as some other companies.

Don't get me wrong, they do make legit gear, but a lot of their range is just geared towards a casual market without the functional and often aesthetic refinement you see with other brands. It's like comparing, say, Apple and HP.

One quick example is that their basic cheap $100 hardshell, the Venture, is probably the least breathable and least well patterned in the class.

>>10780113
Will respond to this later.

>>10780325
You can visibly see the workmanship is much nicer on the Bagjack, the webbing is smoother looking (and I'd guess better), and it has a D ring on it for a carabiner.

Whether that's worth the money to you or not is a personal decision.

>>10777928
Thank you, not a huge fan of the shoes as far as aesthetic cohesion but they are good for walking all day.

Jacket is Nike White Label goretex.

>>10771502
Don't know about the OG's, but I picked up a pair of the slim dungarees a week ago and they're fucking great

coutryside take

>>10778006

>>10782122
shoes are really good as is the fit of the pants but needs more black imo

>>10779600
thanks bro i'm gonna get one of these. I feel like these should be the standard techwear belts they look awesome.

>>10781156
Always wear it in the rain. It takes a few continues hours of rain to wet out. Even then it still performs well. Never feel clammy in it.

The pros out weigh the cons compared to gore or other synthetics.

Hey techweenies:

I need a jacket that can pull double duty on the slopes for snowboarding and can be used in everyday inclement conditions as well.

You think the Beta AR would work well? It's a hard shell, so I assume you can always level up the heat factor with some layering.

>>10783354
I've been looking at Arc'Teryx jackets for about a week now. A video I found that does a pretty good job of explaining differences of jackets up the AT line is this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGTh1ieUeWU

Beta AR is very near to the top of their product line, which means more durability. In my opinion for a first hardshell something like the Beta LT (~220-250 on ebay) may be a better choice. That being said I don't own one of these jackets yet.

>>10782001
Would someone with thicker legs from working out look fine with the slim dungarees?

>>10784056
if you've got huge legs size up on jeans then get them tapered.

>>10779236
>>10779191
>>10779211
Can you post fit pics?

I've been tossing up on whether to cop these for the last couple weeks.

>>10783354
I own a beta ar and can confirm it is good for outdoor activities in cold weather. With good layering I've worn it while hiking ridgelines with temps at -20/-30f and been perfectly comfortable. It has a nice cut for wearing casually too, but you might find it's too lightweight to wear in the cold if you arent doing something active, since getting layered as fuck to go to the store is annoying.

i have this exact jacket but in a much darker gray
anyone else use killtec?

>>10783151
Where do you live?

>>10785182

Portland

>>10781314
They're the exact same buckle. You can see the branding on both of them. The only difference is that the nylon belt, which is exactly the same material on both of them, has a D-ring on the Bagjack, which is not worth £60 more.

That's why it's prestige pricing.

>>10785950
still looking for this grail(pic related)

>>10785954
Holy shit that's nice

Do you think Veilance will put out anything like it eventually?

>>10785963
idk, im 100% posotive this is like 2007 or something. I hope they do tho.

ill probs end up buying this tho. Vets get 15% off too. TAD is a good company.

>>10785969
Also, this jacket is a grail, but its so expensive.

>>10785972
this fit isnt super tech, but i think he managed to put together a really decent silhouette, and it reminds me of tech wear.

>>10785974
>no tech at all
>techwear

The head on that negro is bizarrely disproportionate. He has the body and body to face ratio of a five year old.

>>10784056
>>10784369
What this guy said, they used to have keirin cut, which had bigger thighs, but they're discontinued. You might be able to find some on grailed though.

Honestly just find a pair of pants that fits how you want, then take measurements and compare them to the measurements on Outlier's website, they're really useful and that's how I sized for mine. Worked perfectly.

>>10785974
sorry bro, nice fit, but not tech at all :(

>>10784369
>>10786123
How's the durability on Outlier pants? Would they be fine with constant running around everyday, being on knees, and sitting on dirty surfaces?

If not, are there any alternatives around the same price point?

>>10786685
Durability of their workcloth is great. Strongcloth is supposedly even more durable but I haven't tried it. OG and Ultralight are pretty delicate.
My pet peeve with Outlier is that their stitching can be really shoddy.

>>10774656
Not sure. I got mine new on eBay a couple years ago. It's possible they're not available anymore.

>>10785954
why not just buy it?
http://veilance.arcteryx.com/product.aspx?language=EN&gender=mens&model=Align-Shell-Jacket

are you particularly in love with the white colorway or something?

>>10785832
Well that explains it

>>10786735
Is it shoddy enough to cause issues down the line or does it just look bad?

>>10787110
Implying?

>>10787122
A bit of both, depends on how it happens.

>>10785982
1) You don't know what any piece in that is. The shirt and pants could easily be a wool tee and softshell pants or something. They're probably not, but who cares, because
2) Inspo.
3) It's an sharp casual fit but not really anything remarkable.

>>10785854
Where did I say anything about seeing branding?

The stitching is better and less obvious on the Bagjack, the design is different, the nylon is a different weave and I think a different kind of thread.

>>10780113
Outlier used to make some womenswear OGs and Slim Dungarees, but they shut down their womenswear side. You can still probably find some used.

Check Nau and Aether. Other than that you're left to pick stuff out of athletic, outdoor, and fashion lines. I might be able to go through some stuff and post some standout pieces.

>>10779106
Source on this?

Like, fuck, also, "prestige pricing," why do you care? Things cost what they cost and it's almost never worth talking about.

>>10787996
>Like, fuck, also, "prestige pricing," why do you care? Things cost what they cost and it's almost never worth talking about.

Supposed to go to the dude whining about the price of an 84€ belt.

My leather wallet is falling apart so I need a new one.

What do you guys use? Are there any "tech" wallets?

>>10788005
Velcro senpai

>>10788014
yeah but any specific wallet?

>>10788029
velcro sucks for wallets. really loud, slow and annoying. get a zip wallet in nylon. something like Porter maybe

>>10788461
yeah I wasn't actually going to get a velcro wallet I was just seeing if he had any legitimate suggestions.

Think I might just get a bellroy note sleeve. Not very techy.

>>10778140

Is cycling stuff techwear? Because I just got a whole ton of Rapha clothes at 60% off and every item is amazingly nice and and off a bike.

Jesus you might as well be arguing about the shoelaces on a pair of $500 shoes compared to a pair of $70 shoes. The fact remains that it's overpriced and something stupid like "the belt looks different in the photograph" doesn't change that.

>>10788029

j/k of course. I have a bellroy personally, which I quite like. If you want something techy looking though, maybe consider DOSH:

Veilance?

Out of curiosity while I was in Montreal, I checked out the stuff. It was really disappointing.

Put on a jacket, tried getting my hands into the pockets only to get tangled by a big loose thread on the right side. Seemed like every piece had similar issue with poor stitching in multiple places.

Overall it really didn't inspire confidence in the least.

>>10788611
They do look nice but I like that the note sleeve has a little pocket for change just in case I need to pay for something with cash. Thanks for pointing those out though they actually look nice.

Looks like a cheap backpack strap

>>10788002
what the hell is your problem, no one is been a dick in this thread till you turned up

>>10788710
>>10788002
look at the strap on the expensive one, there exactly the same, yes the strap is cheap, and your only paying for the buckle, but its still strong enough to hold your entire weight.
This strap is used on lots of expedition, out doorsy belts.
Remember you have to have the strap around 1" for it to fit in most fashion belt loops ok.
tactical ones are 1.75" and are a lot more beefy, but wont fit in your normal trousers.

Go ahead tho, and play 3 times more for the exact same thing. be a mug.

>>10788905
then see the one i got for £20 in the UK.

well tech/fa/gs, I did it. Pulled out the wallet and bought me the Veilance Field Jacket.

It is so much nicer in person than the pics make it look. The fabric is really slick.

Also bought the LEAF covert case as a travel carryon.

a naylon strap like that costs somwhere around 1,50 eur per meter if you want the "high quality" one, not sure what the buckle costs but it cant be more then 5, i think a belt like that would be pretty cheap and easy to make.

>>10789293

You're fucking retarded.

>>10788609
I'm arguing that those, or shoelaces, or whatever are a perfectly fine reason to want something and that "overpriced" is a dull ass concept used by people trying to get moralistic about money.

Things cost what they cost, for a number of reasons, most of them fucked, because capitalism. This is hardly the most serious or salient thing to be upset with capitalism about. Either you want something or you don't, and you afford it or you can't. Stop whinging.

>>10788905
Are you looking? The Bagjack is a plain weave and the other one is a twill.

And please, stop talking at me like I don't know what nylon webbing is or about belt loop sizing, especially when you either don't know or can't attention to two different weaves.

>>10790335
Fuck yes.

>>10789293
you must not live in Portland

>>10779000
What shoes are you wearing?

>>10790553
Can you compare it to regular arcteryx jackets? How does it perform in the rain?
Thinking about buying that jacket but I have no idea how the fabric behaves

What are some tech-ish leather items? Besides, of course, the two leather jackets Acronym has done.

Any leather tech belts?

>>10791138
yeah the buckles on there own are close to £20

well fuck me sideways, then by all means just buy the one from the tactical company

>>10793672
good question. I'm not a fan of the tactical style belts, but want a slick modern-looking belt like a seamless leather belt, but with something more futuristic than the classic buckle

>>10779023
I just saw this but in black, really like it. The khaki color was on sale for $179 vs $300 for the black...

If anyone wants to cop this pair let me know (I'll drop $15 for /fa/ggots). Tried to incorporate into my techwear cosplay but the color clashed with most of my fits.

They're nice if you have the right body frames/lines for them. Super bulky contour that isn't depicted in their from-the-shins-down photo shoot shots.

Hmu if you wanna cop tho ;)

Anyone have experience with base layers? I'm talking purely in terms of tech, not style. I don't really know anything besides uniqlo undershirts and cotton boxers. About to get some UA stuff probably.

>>10791031

>>10799994
id say colour is fine, although black/gray is best.

Anyone have any experience with White Mountaineering? I'm looking at a jacket on sale in a size 2 that looks great but I'm worried about sizing. I've got pretty broad shoulders from sports and i'm afraid it might be too tight. Should I go with a norse projects shell instead?

Ur right bruh, I'll go back to using an umbrella.

Questions from a newbie here. I honestly hate the solid black fits and was wondering opinions on going for more of a light grey route with white and splashes of color. Noticing a lot of pieces don't come in white and I know it's not the exact "techninja" that's hype. What do you think?

So, anyone here in the Acronym Whatsapp group chat?

Any tech wear that doesn't involve cold weather ?

>>10803877
Check out athletic companies running lines. Normally can top out at a light windbreaker and have tech colorways.

>>10803925
Ion want fuccin jackets or sweatpants mang it's not even cold in Texas

>>10803818
The white arcteryx vielance and acg jackets looked pretty cool. Not for me, but i could see someone pulling them off.

>>10771508
Literally just read all five of these, pretty solid

>>10782122
I laughed out loud

What jacket is this?

nike 2012 olympics flash jacket

>>10803844
What is that? What do they discuss there? Techwear?
