just to hard to decide

>>7527193
get the arcteryx, the other one looks quite heavy and less flexable I guess

Watch out, the arc teryx is a soft shell, it will not keep you dry if there's rain.
If I were you I'd spend my money on a patagonia like this one, they're good hard shell jackets

Since we're talking techwear, anyone has a good pair of sneaker to recommend ?

>>7529499

Penfield clarksdale... LOL

>>7529540

>>7527193
What's the name of the northface in this picture?

>>7529438
A high-quality softshell can protect you for an hour or two in light to moderate rain. Downpours, you’re gonna get wet.

why do you fuccbois buy cheap $100 TNF hard shells? it's like buying H&M jeans or something and thinking they'll last. at least invest your money into Goretex Paclite if you're on a a budget. I recommend Marmot minimalist and Arcteryx Beta SL.
>>7525185
this nigga gets it. the beta series from arcteryx has more of an athletic fits and they actually care about the cut of their clothing.
also every TNF shell you see is most likely going to be the resolve or the venture jesus christ.

>>7532483
>Beta SL

perfect for anon

More seriously, I think the marmot minimalist is better designed than the beta sl.

A bit offtopic, but anyone checked out the new H&M athletic collection, including an "outdoor" jacket with taped seams etc. I'm assuming the quality is not worth it but it still seem kind of interesting to see them get into low-tier techwear.

>>7532538
>not breathable
>no pit zip
>not based gore-tex

>>7532523
marmot minimalist is pretty much the perfect budget shell

review is long but entertaining

>>7532638
besides that those wont keep you warm so youll most likely also need a warm midlayer to go with

>>7532483
North Face's stuff is pretty damn durable, man. Anything gore-tex is going to cost you through the roof, that's basically what you're paying for with the arcteryx jackets. NF is by no means a bad brand.

>>7532483
what do ya think of patagonia torrentshell 4 a cheap jack?

>>7532697
did you check out the shells I recommended? goretex paclite is pretty affordable.
>$200 for Marmot minimalist
>$300 for Beta SL
both of which can be found for 50-100 cheaper on eBay
I'm not saying TNF is a bad brand, I'm just saying the go to $100 venture and resolve shells are bad buys. the DWR won't hold up as well and you'll probably end up replacing it in 1-2 years. and I'm not even sure those jackets have cinched hoods, which are essential.
>>7532707
it's bretty good but step up and cop the torrentshell stretch instead. gussetted underarms make a world of difference, and are as important as cinched hoods, and the thing I like most about arcteryx is all their shells come with both features for extra comfy.

i need a ski mask and i like the one worn by the guy on the right
any ideas?

This is top-tier if you've got £200 to spend.

Gore-tex pro shell and designed for climbing so is fitted and has a dynamic hood.

pls why is nobody posting fits /w jackets

>>7532944
Not the one on the right but I have a Raised By Wolves ski mask which has worked quite well for me

>>7532973
>not even once

>>7532483
you know goretex paclite has the lowest durability of all goretex? It also feels like a very thin plastic bag and sucks if you're not really layering something long-sleeved under it

>>7533069

>beaver snake
>what is a troll review.

I'm /out/core and that is a load of shit.

>>7533040
w2c

>>7533127
of course it's gonna have the lowest durability if it's gonna be the most affordable/lightweight/packable. doesn't change the fact that you can save up another $100 for a better product than the hyvent resolve/venture.

>>7525185
tfw when i get 50% off discounts on arc'teryx with my job :)

>>7532538
dont. save up a bit

>>7524952
I got a venture . I researched both and the resolve doesn't have pit Zips and apparently gets really hot because it's not breathable. Also it looks dumb when not done all the way up. Also the cuffs on venture are adjustable

>>7524997
>>7525013
I'm definitely picking up a North Face Jacket but i was looking at this one over the resolve because of the different material but the zipper being grey and not covered has me unsure.
What do you guys think?

>>7533151
Got it from their website but it has been sold out for about half a year now I think

>>7533390
can you post fit pics of the venture? also does it have pockets on the inside of the jacket? pls respond

>>7533398
Man, we told you what we thought about it, now if you want to give it a go, be my guest.

>>7532982
because nobody posts new fit

>>7536589
That was the first post i made in this thread and you're the first to reply so i don't understand how you've previously told me.

I just want to know if the grey zips make it look too shitty.

>>7536596
read the thread then. Basically, it's breathable and you will sweat, it's like a plastic bag, read the thread

>>7536601
Yeah i know all that shit about the Resolve but nobody has said anything about the Stratos jacket i posted that fixes all the problems but all the zips are grey instead of black.

Looking to find this jacket. The website is sold out and i can't find any other retailer.

>w2c

what shoes for nightly thugging?
light black runners without 3m parts?

>>7533398
i have this and i quite like it..

>>7529438
>soft shell, it will not keep you dry if there's rain.

And the hardshell won't keep you dry if you're active, in addition to feeling less comfortable normally, looking less /fa/, and probably being harder to move in!

Except that statement is actually true.

Softshells are better than hardshells for the vast majority of real world uses. I'm not really up to writing a detailed, entry level explanation of why, but think about it: when was the last time you, in an urban area, spent more than an hour so so outside in the rain? Unless you're working as a security guard or street vendor, you just don't stand out in downpours for hours at a time. You go from one building to another via enclosed transit methods.

>>7532483
I am pro cheap hard shell, though. If you understand their limitations, there's nothing wrong with most of the crop of entry-level ~$100 hardshells. I like Marmot's PreCip in that base level, and its Oracle is really nice for just a little more.

I will say don't get TNF, though - at least the cheap HyVents (TNF's brand name for its waterproofs) use coatings instead of membranes, which is all of my what.

There's nothing special about PacLite, and Gore's even replacing it with Active now, and IIRC everything with the Active membrane is a 3L.

Also, I'm going to put in a word for Nixwax Analogy. It runs hotter than conventional WP/B fabrics, so it's not really for the summer, but otherwise it's more breathable and durable (the two main problems with full waterproofs) than anything else out there.

Anyway, the OP pretty much wants a softshell, and I'll make some suggestions tomorrow.

>when was the last time you, in an urban area, spent more than an hour so so outside in the rain?

>Implying I'll wear it only in urban area
>implying mid priced hardshell aren't better than soft shell
>implying you know shit about outdoor clothing

Any good recommendations for shoes and pants that fit into the techwear classification?

H-hey, I'm pretty new to tech wear, what you guis think about Isaora Riding Shell and Isaora itself?
T-thanks.

>>7545800

>>7529540
>>7545259
and y-3 qasas

Or military boots

>>7545847
I'm sad to say that qasas are one of my grails. I slept on them an now the only way I could cop them is from ebay where everyone is selling them for double the price. i do love the trainerendors though so I'll probably cop them.

Still gotta look around for pants though, then find a good hard shell.

>>7545879
I would rather do the other way around. The shell is the most important piece as it regulates your body tempurature, moisture, etc.

>>7545929
A shell was what I was going to cop first, just didn't want to ask for suggestions as I felt that the thread already had a lot of discussion about them.

>>7545941
go on, it is here for that, post your budget, and your requirements

>>7545955
Alright then, I'm willing to drop around 250$ for a hard shell. Want something that's not extremely puffy in it's cut. I think water and wind resistant is already implied... Something that's minimalistic, I would prefer no obvious branding (like with TNF jackets) but I wont really mind it.

I'm trying to develop a personal style that is sort of blend of both street and techwear. I feel like pieces that can be classified under both styles can work very well together.

>>7545981
at this price, the marmot minimalist is what you're looking for

>>7545995
Yeah I saw it linked earlier in the thread and was considering copping it. I guess I will now. Thanks!

>>7524952
what would you guys say is the best one to look like a late night goon/terrorist?

I'm selling this one.

It's very light though.
