New isaora looks dope!

[gettoasty]

those ZeroGrand look pretty nice. I wonder how they fair in the snow. 

 

might make another trip to tahoe and want to be more prepared this time around. Cons not going to cut it..

The main guy behind this is a design researcher named Jan Chipchase (

http://janchipchase.com/) whose work is to build rapport with the people he's trying to understand and design for. If he were to appear as a US agent or spy would be detrimental to both his project and the people helping him.

 

 

Please explain then why he would carry around a bag that looks like he is a US agent or a spy..

Because that bag screams special forces..

It's not super techy but Huckbery has Proof NY Nomads on sale for 40% off.

It's not just a design improvement, but the ability to take away what is unnecessary. They make it clear that the bag isn't for around the town carry and that it's not for everybody - http://sdrtraveller.com/pages/ownership-wear-care

 

 

 

This is a really, really nice design but god damn why do lifestyle startups like this always insist on having the most insufferably pretentious drivel for copy?

Is there such a thing as a not dorky looking, super lightweight/breathable booney/full brim cap? Going to Burma this year and it's going to be hotter than I can tolerate.

Because they are 'lifestyle startups'?

 

I love black cuben as a material, and the design is suitably minimal, but the Petzl aluminum biners ruin it for me (and they've rigged it up attached to a car roof without the gate closed? wtf). They should have spec'd black Tac-Links.

The GIF reminds me of that newgrounds xiaoxiao stuff I fiend-ed over when I was younger.

Don't like their tee graphics, too fuccboi-esque for me, their aesthetic is too disparate at the moment.

But the new clothing could be promising with its emphasis on layering.

 

[TEKsevenZERO]

what is the 'fuccbio' thing ? is it the new kiddie buzzword for something I should be aware of? 

 

enlighten me please . .

How's the stretch on those? I can't find a pair locally to try them on.

Not very. Feel a bit more akin to raw denim than anything else.

  oh well still hopeful I can fit in them. maybe Gravitypope has them in-store

 

 

prob posted already but

 

 

I wanna cop to flip for some weaboo money at MGSV release $$$

[Loos Threads]

 

Yeah, no stretch on the Voronois but the gusset and articulation in the fit for the leg make for great movement. Good for biking. Fabric has a really nice feel. Really well conceived and executed design through and through.

 

If you're near a Gravity Pope, would you not also be near an Arc'teryx store? Unfortunately, I've never seen Veilance pants at the former.

hnnnngggg

I live west of the city, and I'm only in once a week, much less in that neighbourhood. So trying on stuff that gets sold out quickly can be a pain

Got a pair of acronym p14-ch pants. Observations:

 

- these things are essentially sweatpants made out of tech-denim, with chino pockets.

- construction is bombproof to the point of being overdone. reinforced cuffs, double layer waistband, triple bartacking at all stress points.

- schoeller shape 3x dry is awesome stuff. looks pretty much exactly like denim, but water repellent and slightly stretchy. has a very nice natural drape. outlier needs to get on this stuff asap. don't expect it to dry very quickly though.

- patterning is interesting. the only articulation is a giant fuckoff crotch gusset. top block is very loose, with a high waist that feels almost dropcrotch-y. tapers down to a 6.5" cuff that's just the right size to my taste.

- speaking of the cuff, it's not folded over like a regular cuff but stitched down right at the fold into a piece of webbing. takes some getting used to, as the cuff falls more rigidly on shoes than a normal cuff, and looks a little like you folded it in yourself. 

- inseam is something like 31", waist true at 30". inseam is just about right for my 6' frame, but if you're even an inch taller it's gonna be too short. 

- novelty pockets are nice but honestly with a top block this loose i doubt it actually matters how the pockets are designed

 

The best part of these is definitely the fabric. First performance fabric i've seen that actually looks like a normal pant fabric. schoeller are gods.

yes, incredible fabric i have a pair of p14-ch too, and p9-ch from ss12 in a close fabric but more durable, and people think it's "special" denim...unfortunately i guess i'd need to upgrade from small to medium today

the industrial micro twill from p16-ch is awesome too (but i'd love a p16 version in grey melange, maybe for ss15..)

[nigel1]

I prefer the Stotz Etaproof over schoeller personally

Q: How does SI:SP compare in fit to Veilance? I wear a M in the bird.
