Thanks for the replies/input

You mentioned the additional straps, i've seen them a fair bit in other brands, aside from rickshaw bagworks, bagjack and mission workshop come to mind. Has anyone ever used these before? I walk quite a bit more than I use my bike but I also enjoy the quick access, anyone ever used one before? How is the load on your shoulder after wearing it awhile?

Also considering getting the hydration pack from mission workshop but I'm not sure how big they are, and I would hardly use the hydration pack anyway, I just like the appearance. Should I just cop a normal backpack/messenger instead?

To me techwear is clothing with focus on function in movement and protecting you from weather or environment in general. The focus on /fa/ seems to lean heavily on the urban techninja stuff but I see it more of a mix of mil surplus/hiking/sport than anything and of course depending on the conditions.

If we talk casual walking, they are fine. As long as you don't perform any stunts you are good, but I wouldn't recommend running, jumping and such in them. I've found it rather difficult to jump over waist-high wall or do a hi-kick. This is not a big problem if u behave like a regular human being, but keep in mind that if u want to do ninja stuff, u better off look somewhere else for yr pants

on the other hand they fit perfect, look brilliant and sizes stated on the website are reliable and returns-saving

i'd say the /fa/ definition of techwear is athletic or athletic inspired clothes that will keep you completely untouched by the elements while outdoors, yet still having fabrics that wick moisture and keep cool etc.

some brands are acronym (for extremely pricey but really great design) and arcteryx for something more affordable

Are all of you guys seriously into techninja or do you just pretend to ?
I mean, i'm the kind of casual tech guy who just likes to wear clothes that are comfy and practical enough to have good interactions with my average day's environment (something like in pic related or a bit more technical) and in every techwear thread people are getting mad because that's not tech enough to face arctic winter or a typhoon or wathever.
But on the other hand, i never see anyone posting extreme waterproof techninja fits in the waywt treads or so.

Why wear gore-tex body condom when it's not raining and you don't sweat like a motherfucker so you don't need clothing that breathes extremely well necessarily?
I mean it's not extremely technical as far as material and construction go, but personally I feel like it's more about wearing what the situation calls for, as far as keeping warm and dry goes.

techwear also evokes a certain cyberpunk setting. if you watch blade runner, it is almost always raining outside. the idea of man as being against the elements is a key dystopian mood of techwear, not simply the utopian brightness. we are also involved with the question of east asian political and economic ascendency (which is of course another cyberpunk theme)

>>	Anonymous Mon Oct 27 16:50:42 2014 No.9005719 >>9005695 Nah, I mean for some that's maybe a big part of techwear but generalizing it like that is horseshit, to me techwear is more staying dry in scandinavian outdoors than looking like a anime character in a futrustic setting.

did you seriously just argue yourself in a corner?

nah. techwear is about applying recent advancements in sciences (materials, kinesiology, sustainability etc.) to the designs of garments to provide functional improvements on wear and utility of attire.

there isn't much splitting hair to it, if something doesn't have a treatment to its materiality or an advancement to its construction then it wouldn't be agreed upon by most as techwear.

>>9005695
lmao no, nerd.
ministry of supply is techwear, made by graduates of MIT and it looks like office attire. pls don't inject your anime fantasy biases into an entire category of clothing.

jesus christ, dystopianism is so fucking reductive and facile. i'm so over rick and throup and all these other negative-ass, sophomoric brands.
wanna know the cool thing about Her? is it was one of the few times where the technology didn't appear cold and arcane, but actually considered and designed and warm. it was a hopeful future.
bladerunner and dune and starwars and shit was imagined in a time when the tech looked hella clunky and they had no idea of the types of technologies and discoveries in sustainability that we do now.

like that's so stressful to imagine an acrid, depressing wastleland of a future. its really insulting to the actual pragmatic designers around the world working their asses off for a glimmer of progress.

then you aren't being authentically techwear. this is the reactionary going back towards of the white suburban consumer who is searching for his ancestral 'home' in the european mountains. in fact the radical techwear summons not this going back towards of the suburban mall consumer but a acceleration-forth into the future, which is the east asian metropolis, not the homely troll caves of norway

>then you aren't being authentically techwear
I have pieces from 80s and whatnot that are techwear that my mom and dad used since they have been hiking and other /out/ shit since forever, and that, plus other sports I do mostly during winter and fall are the ones I get my tech inspo and stuff from and that goes back 20 years now.
I started to browse these threads mainly because I realized that lot of the stuff people discuss here uses the same technical (gore-tex hyvent etc.) stuff that I've been familiar and used always.

seems like you know where to look with veilance since arc'teryx is based in canada, they should know a thing or two about warmth.

isaora just released a capsule of warm weather offerings, they're based in ny which can get p cold but they cater to buyers all over. i think the strength is in their insulated shirts, so not a hardshell but shit to layer under. (and look how beautiful this down jacket is)

check out minotaur and white mountaineering (recent moncler collabo) which have some jackets for those chilly hokkaido climates.

for baselayers, patagonia's are p good and in varying thicknesses. uniqlo has that heattech but i haven't tried it.

If it's not rainy or anything, runners, casual pants, a breathing tee shirt and a fleece/wool layer are fine imo.

Not like I have $1200 after tax lying around. Minotaur and Herno are on my list as well but I wouldn't be ready for a purchase that big until sales season for FW14 hits (around Feb or March maybe).

Isaora looks good on paper but I've been reading that the fit (at least the hardshells) is on the larger end so I'll do some research on that, looks good though. I'm staying away from black since I walk around dim lit city streets at night all the time.

The only problem is a lot of them are cut for function and not for fashion, so the fits are loosey goosey to accomodate layerz. Bright colours are for visibility in blizzard-like and low light conditions

Techwear is just about having optimal interactions with your environment (either physical, so it protects from rain, cold/hot weather, sweat,... and social so you look acceptable) which implies the use of high technologies applied to clothing in order to obtain optimal properties.
Dressing like an autistic tech-ninja from the future isn't either useful or socially acceptable.

Rains has a really nice bronze jacket, very tech, haven't once gotten soaked wearing their stuff. Kind of thin though, so you would need a inner layer.

Grabbed a tank top and a commuter jacket/blazer from Lululemon at a discounter last week. Very impressed with it for the price ($75). The jacket is water proof, has a insulated inner liner that can be zipped out, reflective strips, sealable vents and is very light as well. The zippers are good YKK, not cheap junk either.

The tank has some stretch to it, is anti-bacterial to reduce odor and has a reflective strip down the back. Happy with both. I think this brand can be a good affordable option for people who want some casual activewear with a few "technical" features.

your "optimal interaction with environment" style needs a different name.
i disagree that the best materials implies use of recent and upscale technologies although there is probably a high coincidence

To me it sounds like what you are looking for is about comfort and practicality rather than a particular aesthetic whereas i think most fashion people would agree that "techwear" has a certain aesthetic goal

disclaimer: I'm a layman on this topic besides what I've seen in this thread- but I feel like the term 'techwear' is better suited to a style that refers to the modern relationship between technology and humanity than it is to a genre of clothing where the tech element is merely a means to the greater goal of comfort+function. Idk the context of the term's origins, but that's my poorly formatted comment on its semantics

"Optimal interaction with environment" is close enough to any definition I've ever heard for techwear. After all, highly-designed, sophisticated pieces of outdoor gear have always been referred to as "technical". Conflating techwear in general with the aesthetic of Aitor, Acronym, and their ripoffs is, as far as I can tell, a purely /fa/ thing. Call it cyberpunk if you must have a name for it.

good post

techwear is not simply an increased being more in the world via 'optimising interaction' with it.

in fact the theme is one of transhumanist alienation which is acknowledging of technological/capitalist processes that are occurring in society

we are disturbed and tense, not comfortable

>>	Anonymous Thu Oct 30 20:18:27 2014 No.9018818 the morphability of form with modular systems and shape shifting is a key aspect of techwear, exemplified by brands such as acronym with this we are already on the path towards transhumanism

>>8998627
For reference, I have the mid sized messenger from mission workshop. The point of a messenger is to disperse the weight across your back as you ride, but when walking the single shoulder strap, no matter how wide or padded is a bitch for long distance. I've had a flat right after coming from groceries and had to walk with that shit and it kills.

The secondary strap is a godsend if you've ever biked with a similar bag without one. It keeps the bag form sliding around or spinning while riding and provides a good stability to it.

Also a note is that if the messenger is to be waterproof, the main roll top compartment isn't going to be super accessible if you are wearing the bag tight without first loosening it or taking it off.

Hydration has never been a problem for me, even when working as a courier, a reusable water bottle is fine, which most bags/backpacks will have a place for. I'd say go with a backpack if you walk more than you bike. The wear won't kill you if you aren't walking for more than an hour plus at a time, but what it really comes down to is the aesthetic, let's be honest.
