I have black and want to know what to wear with it

Opinions on Swix brand?

is there any minimalist super high visibility clothing line like the nike vapor flash? I kick myself every day for not buying it when i had the chance

>>8266350

>>8266354
give it to me. I know what to wear it with.

>>8268559
nah. fake is ugly af.

>>8268556
I am pretty tech savvy, but I haven't seen anything currently offered that is similar.

>>8266346
OP, what you posted is trash.

This is techwear.

>>8266346
what backpack is this?

>>8266346
Where to buy entry-level waterproof items?

I realize "waterproof" is ascertained by actual measurements - just want a place to start, particularly tapered pants

>>8268719
Waterproof pants don't exist outside of snow pants.

There are no entry level water-resistant pants that are remotely fashionable.

Your best bet are these: http://www.prana.com/stretch-zion-pant.html?color=Charcoal

What about water-resistant shoes? Are you better off using a spray? What spray?

Nice, tech threads becoming less inspired and the same shit like >>8269331 keeps getting posted.

Almost reminds me of the lunarcore threads.
Maybe wait until you have stuff to post instead of making a thread for no reason.

>>8269331
Nice. A ~$1,200 nearly unfunctional cape.

Stupid.

>>8269331
i like those jackets
what are they called, and where do i find them?

>>8269353

Hope you have some money mate.

>>8269353
It isn't a jacket. It's literally a cape. Like fucking superman.

Basically the opposite of techwear. Overglorified rain protection for your backpack.

You are the worst kind of person.

>>8269394
Good for you dickweed.

>>8268724
Lol what? Please lurk more before telling people shit.

1) Hardshell - full waterproof - pants are extremely common. Virtually every outdoor brand makes them. Here's Patagonia's entry-level one.

http://www.patagonia.com/us/product/mens-torrentshell-waterproof-rain-pants?p=83811-0

2) They're usually unnecessary, even more often than full waterproof jackets. Softshell - highly water resistant, much more breathable (trap less sweat) - pants are almost always going to be better.

3) Tons are more than remotely fashionable. Outlier is the most famous example, just by doing standard chinos in Schoeller Dryskin, the best softshell fabric around.

I like Mission Workshop's version better, though. Just enough extra to make it actually interesting, pic related.

This thread is a trainwreck with so much that's wrong in it. I have to go, but I'll post more later.

>>8269810
ikr, just op's picture is a shame to this techwear

>>8269810
Yeah, uh.. those are pretty much snowpants. Based on the fact that we are on /fa/, I wouldn't expect someone to want to wear fucking Patagonia pants, LOL.

Outlier isn't entry level and dryskin isn't waterproof.

The funny thing is, you own none of this, so it's obvious you have no clue what you're talking about.

>>8269810
Also, I don't agree that Dryskin is a good choice for pants. The doubleweave workcloth fabric that Outlier uses on the Dungarees is definitely a better selection for pants.

>>8269794
>>8269799

recommend me a good coat

>>8269938
Depends on what you're using the coat for.

>>8269867
outlier is the most entry level brand in techwear and was popularized by reddit. the pantagonias look nothing like snowpants and dryskin is water resistant enough that light rain and spills don't seep through which is probably all the other guy wanted. why do you feel the need to give people shitty information?

>>8269950
baking pies

>>8269950
I just want one coat that is good for everything, if possible...

>>8269973
This ultimately comes down to a difference of opinion. I would say that typical outdoorsy manufacturers make "entry level techwear."

Higher end shit like Arc'tyrex, Mission, Outlier, TAD, Aether, Isoara, etc are quite a bit pricier than you'd find in nearly any store. If anything, they are mid-tier (considering things like Acronym), but difficult to classify as "entry level" by any means.

Dryskin is water resistant, but would not fair well in even light rain.

>>8269988
That's really not possible. Are you implying waterproof/weatherproof? Not something that will keep you warm?

>>8268556
korean brand called t-level has a 3m jacket

>>8268671
these look shitty on people honestly. like it looks good laid out in that pic, but go to their site and see how ugly it really is

>>8270027
I don't agree at all. Their jacket form looks pretty slick and is very well thought out.

>>8269316
these are cool but i have a feeling i would be too short for them since they dont look like they could be hemmed or cuffed

>>8270040
Achieve stacks, bro.

>>8269994
i actually own outliers and light rain doesn't seep through the pants

>>8270062
Outlier doesn't use dryskin for any of their pants.

What do you guys think about casually wearing balaclavas?

>>8270062
What is your definition of light rain? Or water resistance, for that matter?

>>8270082
you'll look like you're up to no good unless it's really cold out

>>8270082
Unless you live in a really fucking cold country don't do it, you won't look nearly as good as you imagine/as pictures show and people will think you're a weirdo.

That's not to say I don't like the look overall, I just accept that it isn't /fa/ to wear them right now, maybe in later years people will let it resurge but at the moment stay well away.

>>8270082
Do it, and make sure to get one with a skull printed on the face portion of it.

People will love it.

>>8270082
on a side note

WHERE THE FUCK TO COP 3M REFLECTIVE SHIT.

how to into?

>>8266346
is there a similar model of tnf or other brand coat that is the same shape as this? Doesn't have to be reflective or have the supreme branding or anything.

>>8271650
.Nearly all tnf coats are like this

>>8272632
I'd always feel like the people looking at me for wearing something like this would be doing so because they think I'm about to go and bomb something.

>>8272836
it looks cool but id be terrified to attempt to walk through an airport wearing that

>>8272836

Should I get NM roshes or regular roshes or zx flux's? Pros and cons of all 3?

>>8272874
But it will undoubtedly look suspicious when you actually have stuff in the inside pockets

>>8268671
How much do they charge for those when they're in stock?

>>8272867
it looks really cool imo but when it's opened up it looks like a bullet proof vest or something a terrorist would wear with bombs strapped.


while looking for a pic for comparison, i found an article of a muslim man jogging in a weight vest (looks similar) and his neighbors called the police thinking it was a bomb vest

http://www.islamophobiatoday.com/2011/10/06/bomb-alert-over-muslim-jogging-in-weight-vest/

>>8272889
I got a packable windbreaker from nike on sale for $60. I bought it with the intention to jog in on cold mornings. It's wrinkle resistant, odor resistant, water resistant. it's pretty cool but i wore it to class once and felt like a total faggot when i packed it into itself (bag) and put my phone in the pocket. lol it looks like a purse but if you slide it to your back, it looks like a runners bag

>>8268867
I'll sell you mine if you want?

>>8272886
Why? You've never stuffed the internal pockets of a standard jacket and walked around?

I don't know for sure with that piece, but Acronym stuff is usually designed to minimize the appearance of bulge.

>>8272893
Obviously, under white supremacist capitalist patriarchy, doing certain things isn't advisable for certain people in certain situations. Just *being* in an airport usually means harassment for people who get profiled as Muslim.

OTOH, as a white dude, chances are 90% I'd be fine. It's basically a modular Scottevest, which I'm sure they've seen before.

>>8272880
pls

>>8270082
I wear one when it gets cold out, but unless I'm biking, jogging, or there's a blizzard, I wear it around my neck.

What do you guys think of hazard4?

>>8272960

>under white supremacist capitalist patriarchy

>>8268671
i have a jacket like that and the zipper for the folding pouch digs into my back when i sit down, its 200% shit even if it looks good. also who the fuck wants a seperate pouch for their jacket

I think this is my only tech item i have.
Does fa approve?

>>8266346
some dude was sellin it on ebay size M, but he took it down like 2 hours before it ended cuz it was at like $45. fuckin kek

Can't wait for it to come home

>>8274219

Check out Ministry of Supply. I bought a pair of the Chino pants, much happier with them than anything I bought from Outlier

What do you guys think about 3/4 cargos? I'm looking for inspo pics to pull them off. What can I pair with them? The reason I'm asking is because I live in a tropical country and we're expecting a drought to hit soon so I need more breathable stuff than full length pants.

>>8276431
Merino base layers will be your savior.

>>8275665
>Ministry of Supply
I don't even know why you compared these guys to Outlier - they aren't even playing the same sport, bro.

>>8269733

>>8276904
mdr you better shut the fuck up ultimate homo

Does this seem too monochromatic?

Trying to determine y/n on the pants in this color. I think grey is pretty versatile.

>>8277225
Why those boots

>>8277230
Why not?

They are goodyear welted recraftable boots with a vibram waterlock sole.

Slap some nikwax leather waterproofing on them and have a comfy ass waterproof boot that will tread through just about anything.

Or do you think that Roche Runs are techwear?

>>8277238
They look out of place. And don't get so defensive.

>>8277252
Not being defensive at all - legitimately asking questions.

I'm honestly curious why you think they look out of place and what you would consider replacing them with?

The fit is to look decent on weather days. It rains 2-3x a week here and I can wear that outfit to the office and not have to worry about getting wet etc.

Open to suggestions.

>>8277225
at a glance this looks exactly like a male version of

>>8277273
I really don't see how.

>>8277273

>>8277238
>Why not?

The boots have a very classic/vintage look. Techwear's signature look involves modern materials and construction methods.

>>8276887
Thanks mate. Any other tips? I'm really hoping I could see fits incorporating 3/4 cargos or something similar at least.

>>8277277
why does he look so goofy in this pic

>>8277285
I agree with modern materials and construction, but I don't see the correlation between needing to look like a cyberpunk.

The jacket and pants are made of enough tech to compensate for the "lack of tech" on the boots.

I can't find boots that look good that meet techwear standards and still look good, unfortunately.

>>8277291
I don't really see it, I guess. Looks like an elevated version of the retards that post photos of themselves in WAYWT.

>>8272924
>>8272927

How much?

>>8277287
Sounds like TAD may be up your alley.

Great tech shorts.

>>8277287

>>8277238
despite your reasoning, I agree with this anon
>>8277252

>>8277310
That's fair, but I still haven't gotten any alternative suggestions.

At the moment, it's the best I can find that will be both usable on a trail, in the city, and at the office in any weather situation, sunny, rain, or snow.

The sneakers 99% of people post in tech threads are unusable in anything other than walking around the city in the sun.

>>8277315
>At the moment, it's the best I can find that will be both usable on a trail, in the city, and at the office in any weather situation, sunny, rain, or snow.

The soles have no traction for hiking, no cushioning for city walking, if you wear boots in the office they better not be beat up, they'll be sweaty in the summer, and cold and wet in the winter.

Techwear is about getting highly functional stuff that also looks good. Put away your #menswear goggles and get performance hiking/walking boots for those situations.

>>8277315
Are you travelling or something where you can only use one shoe? Because you'll be a lot more comfortable having separate shoes for hiking and everyday.

>>8277327
>I am going to lecture you with my opinions as if they are facts despite giving no alternative options or actual knowledge or information
Why even bother posting?

You can request them with Dainite soles for hiking traction, I already stated they are vibram soled (so yes, they are cushioned), and they will be easy to clean up with some saddle soap and conditioner.

I somewhat agree that they may get sweaty, but that will be an issue with any waterproof membrane, even GoreTex. I don't agree they will be cold or wet in the summer with proper merino socks.

I also prefer to maintain a look that fits in with my crowd, which most definitely is not goofninja.

>>8277338
No, but for $500 boots, I want them to at least be able to dabble in a little bit of everything rather than being limited to one function.

I have trail running shoes hiking, but would be nice to have an alternative option depending on the weather.

>>8277350
Semi-formal boots like those aren't really versatile, I bought a pair of Red Wings as a set of nice looking "do anything" boots and ended up returning them.

>>8277357
>semi-formal
Wut.

I would never wear those with slacks or anything beyond an OCBD.

>>8277361
So are they office wear or not?

>>8269177
they just had a massive sale of them on the clymb. had three colors (khaki, harvest gold, black) in a bunch of sizes, manlet to lanky, i copped 32x36 on the last day and I didn't even get the "less than five left" warning

>>8269367
lol what a fucking dumb bitch

>>8277371
They are office wear for me. I can wear jeans to work, but dress code is business casual, not formal.

They are more "formal" than sneakers, if that's what you were going for... but that doesn't take away from the fact that they are trench boots made to do exactly what I have suggested.

>>8269399
go buy yourself a bitchy wife and a shitty career and waste your life accomplishing nothing but what society expects of you

>>8277382
Nah, bro. You saving money to buy clothes makes you the dumb bitch.

>>8277384
Look at Rockport's Hydro-Shield range and Clark's Gore-Tex range if you want a formal shoe with a proper sole and a waterproof membrane.

>>8277400
Wow, bro. Rockport and Clarks.

Super fucking fashionable.

You probably don't even realize that the membranes on either of those shoes are fucking pointless because the leather is already waterproof.

In fact, you probably don't even know that GoreTex is a membrane and not a fabric.

Get the fuck out of this thread.

>>8277406

I think you need a fedora instead of boots. And by fedora I mean a trilby.

>>8277406
Damn, be more mad

Where is all this anger coming from? I've never seen someone so butthurt over a shoe and this is /fa/.

>>8277455

Because his purpose in life to this point has been to buy a pair of $500 leather boots and he doesn't want to hear that only 40-year-olod knobs on styleforum wear them as their main footwear.

>>8277406

Would you do trade and some cash? Where are you based out of too

>>8278076
When did reflective shit become "tech"? There's supposed to be some higher aspirations in terms of functionality than not getting hit by cars.

>>8278540
guess so, what've you got

I'm UK (Bristol & Oxford)

>>8278576
Like what? It's footwear, theirs only so much you can expect from it.
Considering some items such as the coats that have been posted are no different to other coats apart from their reflective properties, I don't see how this is any different.

>>8278604
I think the 3M coats are pretty silly too, although somewhat more innovative. Sneakers have been reflective since forever.

>>8278608
I see where you're coming from, but I think not all techwear has to be innovative.
I feel that if you apply an old feature in a new manner or a well-done manner it can also end up in a tech fit.

End of the day I just wanted to explain why I thought the trainers were not something that is killing techwear
