Is this considered as techwear ?

>>8162154
In a way yes, but more in a heritage type. It definitely has aspects of techwear in functionality, yet I generally consider techwear to learn more towards modern fabrics and cuts.

Looks great, can i get an id on some of these items?

Does anyone know who makes a water-resistant merino jacket? I'd like one for spring/summer that I can layer with a down jacket and a waterproof shell in winter.

Howies made a lovely schoeller merino jacket a few years ago but it's been discontinued for some reason.

My Bagjack finally arrived. Taking an interest check if people would like me to a thread on a break down of the bag.

>>8164880
which model is that m7

>>8164889
Just mainline bagjack. Would've loved to get a nxtlvl one but 3x the price for a cooler finish and better looking magnetic hardware hardly seems worth it. I got the little-jack size. It's a bit bigger than I expected but I'm still really happy with it.

>>8164889
I also partial got a bagjack mainline because I had heard a rumor that acrnm's 3rd arm was discontinued... 2 weeks later they had a full restock - lol.

Oreo is sold out, should I cop the glow in the dark ones or the 36" Roshe Run ones

>>8165173
take a look at >>8164924, because you can cinch it higher + use a shoulder pad + use the underarm strap a lot of the stain is alleviated, although not completely.
I bought this to replace my leather messenger that was giving me shoulder pains, so we'll see how it goes.

It's worth keeping in mind that bagjack specifically makes these for cyclist, so they are very secure and ergonomic to use.

Is this EVA jacket /techboi/ enough

>>8165187
yeah because I didn't try googling that before asking faggot

i was asking if they are available for purchasing in the US, but thanks for your awesome help cuntface

>>8165218
if u have enough money to buy from bagjack u should have enough money 4 shipping
Companies like Bagjack usually don't have resellers outside of their country

>>8165218
If you clicked the second link you go to their online store. You could've simply tried adding a bag to your cart and going to the checkout to see if US was a shipping option.

It is, also price is 19% lower than marked value because you're not in a VAT zone.

You're welcome.

teku, these pants are AMAZING
http://blackdiamondequipment.com/en/mens-pants-shorts/b.d.v.-pants-APL561_cfg.html?dwvar_APL561__cfg_color=Granite#start=1

Worth every cent.

P.S. I'm on the hunt for a mid layer jacket.
-No hood (hoods don't look classy, I've looked).
-Looks good enough to 'go out' in (nothing super fancy, but, you know, out).
-Comfy enough to wear all day, maybe even sleep in.

Man, that cross-body strap + underarm strap combo looks really comfortable, but I just realized it'd look really stupid if you have boobs.

Not too technical in it's manufacturing, but the geometric look and the sleek overall shape makes it a good choice for footwear. Too bad they all got bought up

Will post more later, but I'm seconding this. All the Black Diamond BDV pieces (there's a jacket, 1/4 zip hoody, a buttonup shirt in the same fabric, shorts, and I think pants) are awesome. It's this great 93/7 nylon/elastene twill from Schoeller that has a better handfeel than anything I've found on a non-merino performance fabric before.

Until you read this:
http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disintegrating-designs

"U.E.G. is an interesting company, and an existentialist statement about the temporal nature of life is nice and all, but how about some durable clothing? Disintegrating designs actually seem to be anti-eco clothing. Instead of a piece that will hold up to the test of time, U.E.G. has created clothing that guarantees a need for replacement. Interesting as an art statement, not so interesting for buyers."

>>8164516
w2c bike

>>8169249
still cool :'(

>>8169249
what exactly does their clothing entail?

like if it gets wet it falls apart? rips easily? how does it just fall apart?

>>8169485
have you ever held or felt tyvek before? its the stuff used in construction when siding something like a garage or shed

its paper thin and somewhat glossy, theres some durability but not much really.

its not exactly a new concept to make items out of tyvek, people make things like wallets and bowls out of it all the time. but with clothing its definitely has a more futuristic vibe to it, i personally don't believe a tyvek windbreaker is worth $170~ since it would begin to wear out quite fast, but UEG is one of the only companies if not the only one making that sort of stuff.

>>8169299
Looks like a fixie, tbh

>>8169299
its a chinese carbon frame. google it.

>>8169093
This is fashion, not real techy stuff for urbex, hiking or anything, you retarded.

>>8170467
>>8169093
Both of you are off. Leaving aside pinning down an exact definition of something like "techwear," it's fairly obvious that whatever we're talking about involves functionality, garments as tools. And, usually, functionality in the modern urban jungle, which does not have ticks except in woodsy parks.

Capris found their way into the mix because of bike chains.

>>8166625
http://en.muroexe.com/sensor.html

>>8168320
Anyone know the gloves the guy is wearing in this vid?

What's with all these flyknits and roshes? Those aren't even close to techwear. They're shit for running/hiking/anything, not water proof, not wind resistant, don't provide ankle support. I mean they're just shit shoes in general.

>>8168625
look around
http://ueg-store.com/en/all.html

>>8171740

1) "Techwear" and "waterproof" aren't the same thing. God, I hate that sort of thinking. Leaving aside that it's not always raining, or something like the fact that *Outlier* has not once in its history produced a waterproof garment, I hate the way it reduces technicality down to toughness, and toughness to the garment and not the person - the way it assumes everything, all function that's important, is about comfort and personal climate control. You see it in a lot of stuff around techwear, but especially in the obsession with hardshells.

Hardshells are great for low exertion activity, but a softshell is going to be better for most high exertion activity and it's all you really need in a city, hopping between buildings and transit. You'll probably be at least as physically comfortable in a softshell.

What hardshells *do* give you is this feeling of invulnerability, feeling like you're as impenetrable as the membrane, like nothing can touch you, because it can't, unlike those saps clutching umbrellas. And do you really want that? Do you really want to be out of touch with the world, with sensations that are available to you, with the ability of the world to stimulate you and make you feel alive?

It reminds me of that little bit of The Applicant, the Plath poem quoted towards the end of The Flamethrowers:

"How about this suit----

Black and stiff, but not a bad fit.
Will you marry it?
It is waterproof, shatterproof, proof
Against fire and bombs through the roof.
Believe me, they'll bury you in it."

"Proofness" isn't the ultimate point, or shouldn't be. Experience is. Achievment, maybe, is. If there's a monolithic definition of techwear I can live with, it's "clothing congruent with its wearer's conatus." Or something like that. It'll be different in different contexts, which is fine. Any breathable runner will get waterlogged in the rain, by puddles if nothing else. Any fully waterproof shoe will get sweaty in the high summer. C'est la vie.

>>8162330
just logged in to compliment your excellent observational skills.

>>8171740
2)
>not wind resistant

Most of the time, this is a plus. You want air circulating inside your shoes. Helps keep them dry. It's certainly a plus for runners and in the summer.

3)
>ankle support
a. Lol you want that?
b. They do, dammit.

4) From what I can tell from being an obsessive fanboy, Errolson Hugh wears Flyknits more than anything.

5) Flyknits are easily the most innovative, best, just-plain-awesome shoe construction in ages. I hate Nike only for, when they finally get around to producing a "Hyperfeel" Flyknit, sticking it with a *drop* thicker than the soles on the shoes I'm wearing now.

6) Roshes are generally shit, although some people can pull off some colorways. Something about the material almost always looks cheap IRL, and the sole is just a bad idea, something about being inspired by some stones some Buddhist monks walk on.

>>8171740
Also, let me ask you: it's a sunny day and you're in a typical metropolis. What shoes do you suggest I wear for my uber-techwear fit?

Pic related, mfw, and NOTHING waterproof. Like Errolson tweeted a few days ago: "The technology is not the fabric. The fabric is not the technology."

>>8162085

Anyone have an idea where I can find these pants and/or pants like these?

>>8172738
those are levi commuters, hard to find now
u can get isaora cargo pants on ebay.

>>8172805
>>8172751

Any idea on the fit of them? Slim, skinny, regular?

>>8169002
what do you mean? it seems like they say that but I don't see how their stuff actually breaks

>>8172820
slim, definitely not skin tight. they were designed for cycling

>>8171854
This. A lot of people in these threads don't seem to get that "waterproof" has been a solved problem since before Goretex was introduced. You can buy a totally waterproof garment for a few bucks at a gas station. It's the "breathable" side of things that's a much harder problem, and leads down some odd paths like cotton shells.

And then there's tons of interesting tech that has nothing to do with water.

>>8162154
w2c pants?

>>8164512
Where can I buy a nice pair of black skinny jeans?Assuming that's what he's wearing.

as a pale ass ginger kid, I wish I could pull off even half of the fits in this thread.

Any alternatives to commuter cargos that are closer to 501s in fit? Or should I just size up and take in the waist?

Bump.

>>8172868
just size up if you're wanting the waterproofing and all that. keep in mind they can only really take the waist in by about 1 US (don't quote me on that) without moving the pockets

Loled hard.
Don't pretend to wear real techish stuff when you don't have any /out/ nowledge. Real urban survivors and guys who do some urbex just wear polar fleece, a windbreaker, straight cargos and hiking boots, not all the complex techy stuff we like in here.

Adizero Primeknit

>>8175424
Yeah, and all of that qualifies as techwear. They don't wear shit like Acronym because they're all broke.

Show them an Acronym video (I have) and they shit themselves in "awesome!" Because it is.

What about my post makes you think I don't have /out/ or "urban survivor" (lol'd hard) knowledge? I'm in NYC, and there's no ticks here except in the wrong sections of the big parks.

>>8169093
Are you saying that hikers don't wear shorts?

>>8176224
The smart ones don't. Do you even merino base layer?

Just saw these today

>>8177122
It's also a super noisy fabric and the letters wear off super fast. They defend it as some entropy/ephemerality statement, but I dunno if I buy it.

>>8177209
It's not meant for hard use. It's meant to be packaging for our human bodies. So their take on art and fashion and using this Tyvek stuff is that we're like a product--I guess we use ourselves or some shit-- and we go though life, and then get thrown away (die).
Yeah, I dunno, I think I could go to Home Depot and make something myself out of it if I really wanted. $200~ is too high.

>>8168355
>>8177122
..it looks like a packaging bag from usps with a hole cut for the face

What do you think?

>>8178485

>>8178308
don't think so. the material is kinda anti-tech because it's designed for things to get stuck on. things getting stuck on your clothes is not tech

>>8178485

>>8180382

>>8178286
Here's a tip for when you want an urban backpack. If there's nothing going across the chest, it's shit. If you expect to be running you need something to secure it, single strapped or a chest buckle will do. Another thing is carrying handles attached to the main straps like on the Dakine Mission are bad for your back. You need to be able to pull the bag up on your back as far as possible for it to be optimal. It's better to have weight higher on your back than lower.

I remember my dad telling me to repack my bag when I was a kid. "Put the weight up top." I didn't really get that until I did what he said and put the bag on, "Whoa. That's so much better!"
He smiled.

So yeah. Those kids you see with thier book bags slung low and bouncing on their asses are going to have lower back problems for life in about 5 years because they have no idea what they're doing is putting undue stress on their spine.

I'm looking for a nice jacket (no hood) to wear out, about, and to--somewhat--nice events. Ideally it'd be nice enough to wear to a wedding as a guest.

W2C pullover like this? Is the shirt that's under it part of the pullover, or is it just layered?

>>8183402

Long drawstrings would indicate that it's probably DRKSHDW. They haven't done a hooded jersey tee in a few years, though.

Would anyone please ID these shoes? Thanks.

Outlier ultralight blazer?

Does Bagjack build the 3rd Arm stuff?

>>8184449

3RD ARM is Acronym.

>>8184459
3RD Arm is actually rebranded Bagjack packs made by them for Acronym

>>8184491

Thanks for the clarification. I thought the original question was what brand was 3RD ARM and didn't realize anon was asking about manufacture.

Fuck, my commuters are my favorite pants ever. The material isn't particularly stretchy and they are pretty heavy but goddamn they are functional and look sick.
This is my favorite part though, the cargo pockets are a pocket in themselves, and it has this rubber stuff that makes sure NOTHING will ever slip out.

>>8184510
Yea I really like that about them too, I always stuff my phone in that pocket. They're great to bike in too, I can fit an entire u-lock in one of those pockets.

>>8184449
Yea, they have collabs with a number of other brands too like si:sp, and firmament-berlin. the 3rd arm bags are a bit of a special breed though - a lot of the features they have, like the webbing mounted auxiliary pockets and compartment design isn't shared with other bagjack models. That is, in contrast to many of their other collabs that are simply different colour-ways or materials.

>>8184584
I use mine exclusively for my phone, easy access. They really are the best pants for getting around, even the pockets on the ass have a slight flap overlayed to stop shit falling out. Seriously impressed with them. I don't even mind that they're not that tapered.

>>8184584
Yeah, I've been looking into getting a 3rd arm, but I'm not sure what one. (I'd just cop a thrashed one from ACR sales thread). I have an 18L Visvim E-Cat which I love, but I'd really like to upgrade. Do you know of one that's a similar size?

>>8184675
my first attemp at techwear fit, threw what in what I had... marmot goretex, isaora sweats and natstandards, never again.

>>8184703
I don't mind it man, but try with those NB's instead

>>8184686
If I had to guess I'd say probably a 3a-1, I don't know how deep they are though - it'd likely be a bit smaller. a 3a-5b would be a safe bet. I have a little jack, which is 18L

>>8184896
I couldn't go smaller because I need to fit the laptop in. I'll look into the 3a though, cheers

What do you guys think of Cote & Ciel packs? They don't have the buckle that goes across the chest but their packs look amazing.

which one you think it's most /fa/ and the warmest

Hardshells aren't supposed to be warm...

>>8187043
w2c warm and water proof jacket?

>>8187046
buy two layers it's the best : one waterproof (hardshell), one warm (mid layer)

>>8187046
hardshell, then softshell under

>>8187046
learn 2 layer plz

>>8187054
>>8187064
>>8187065
>soft shell + hard shell
sheeeeiiiiit, it's gonna cost me a fortune, anyone could please recommend cheap soft shell

What do you think about shoes Nike Free 5.0 totally black with black carge pants?

Any recommendations for good merino socks?

>>8187054
>>8187104
054 gets it. In traditional layering, your midlayer is *not* supposed to provide moisture protection. Your top layer, generally, is *not* supposed to provide warmth. They *can*, but that's not the point.

Softshells are different. It's a broad, catch-all term now for anything that protects you from rain but isn't fully waterproof, but it got started when Patagonia had to come up with a term to market a watered-down version of Buffalo windshirts, which are designed to work with your body's climate regulation and replace your base, mid, and top layer with a single garment. The Patagonia ones, direct ancestors of that Adze and most other softshells, are just supposed to replace the top two, providing a balance of warmth and weather resistance that's better than traditional layering. You're not supposed to wear them with a hardshell, or really as a standalone in dry weather. A standard fleece, or a wool sweater, or something would be better for insulation. People don't because they're stupid, and somewhere along the way the idea got out that softshells were somehow more sophisticated or fashion-y than fleeces, like dark vs light wash jeans, so REI sells them by the buttload to people who don't know better.

http://www.andy-kirkpatrick.com/articles/view/the_best_softshell_in_the_world

Some history and a good overview here.

Generally, a softshell will be more versatile and useful than a hardshell, not because they provide warmth, but because they breathe better.

They're also harder to choose appropriately, because hardshells are all pretty similar, but softshells run the gamut from light windbreakers with no real insulation value to fully insulated jackets, from stuff that's barely there to stuff that's n a hearly a hardshell. How are you going to be using it? In what weather conditions?

is lunar acceptable?

How often Acronym gets restocks?

>>8187164
for sure

don't wear them in the winter tho

>>8187149
wow, thank you very much for your feedback, it's very detail and with loads of information, really appreciate that, i don't expect anything this detail in /fa/.
I am going to stay a year in germany, i presume the weather there is cold yet very wet, that's why i am start searching for a good looking hardshell which i thought it would be enough for winter cuz it's with goretex (sorry for being one of the stupid people, i know nothing about tech wear). And i also reckon i might ride bicycle in a rainy or snowy condition, and so i want to buy a warm water proof weather which is perfect for doing sport in european winter

>>8162704

>>8187233
What part of Germany?

>>8187260
lüneburg for 6 months and then münchen

>>8187127
Anyone?

I don't know if this fits in here but where do I get a pair of quality slim fitting sweatpants that aren't expensive as fuck all?
And not like Zespys. Something I can actually be active in.
Pic related.

>>8187575
Considering there's a Nike logo right on the pants, maybe you should try Nike.

>>8187585
I already looked at these and they're sold out everywhere except for ebay in which they have like a 200% markup

>>8187286
What time of year each place, like now and then six months from now? And standard city life, no standing In or hiking through the rain?

And you're not one of the stupid people. Not knowing something is different than not trying to understand something and just following rules that don't actually exist.

>>8187511
Not too much difference in performance between, say, a Smartwool or a Gammarelli merino blend.

>>8187594
How much are you willing to spend? The one's I see on the actual Nike website are like $55. I found some similar ones (not Nike) on eBay for $25.

What's the most recommended soft shell in the ~$250 range? Hard shell?

can u be tech in the summer?

>>8188119
I am also interested in this question.
Take the shell off most tech fits and you're just a guy in a t-shirt and synthetic cargo pants.

>>8188313
But what kinda Tee: you could wear a super techy merino t-shirt, a stone island shadow project with T3CH GRAPHIX, maybe some Gyakusou. Plenty of wiggle room.

>>8187286
>>8187600
Hey dude, reply at me in the new tech thread up.

bamp!

i need more tech

>>8187600
I am going to stay in lüneburg from the coming october to feb, then march to aug in munich. And yes, i am expecting a standard city life, and i will be biking in rain or snow

Need to cop jacket, what is it?

>>8188313
There are also plenty options for shorts, moisture wicking pants/ shirts etc.

>>8168355
This looks so fucking cool, but I really couldn't afford to buy a new one every time the previous one disintegrates. Pretty intriguing concept though
