  1. any ideas for a simple hooded jacket in non-black, preferably olive color or similar.

     

    basically something exactly like this (J1B-S) but not acronym, because the fit just doesn't work for me, too short x wide.

    check Carinthia , Ecoalf or Faction ski stuff for example ... good luck.

  2. Working on post expedition tasks, I should publish my equipment and techwear review around the end of July, will post here links and pictures. Brand reviewed will include : Faction Ski (Aerogel ) , Coldsmoke, Beyond Clothing, UFPRO (techwear combat pants) , Wotancraft, Bagjack, Ecoalf, Howies, Boreal, amongst other...

  3. bento you always discover and introduce awesome stuff! thanks for sharing.

     

    regarding the belts: I have finished prototype today and hopefully will get enough material to list a decent stock on my site next till the end of the month!

    Thanks man, I'm always looking for new stuff, that's the reason why, I've discovered so many things on this forum in the past, so it's fair to share my findings here .

  4.  

    Probably a bit too much tactical for some, but I tested the pants from the same line recently for my trek in Nepal, and it's definitively a great techwear piece : http://ufpro.si/uf_pro_products/pants/79/uf_pro_p_40_tactical_shorts/

    And to make it clear I am not sponsored by this brand.

     

     

     

    Their trousers look pretty cool too.

     

    Indeed ,I tested the P40 pants, and really a great next level piece. It's Combat pants quality to say it simple

  5. Any of you guys know anyone that does any Molle pouches/ attachments that look techy as opposed to mil spec? And I'm also looking for some way of dropping some internal pockets into a 3A-6TS to keep my electronic stuff separated from clothes and stuff... Anyone got any good suggestions? I guess anything with a Velcro strip on the top would connect to the top of the inner liner.

    this Guy does amazing things: http://skinthsolutions.com/

    He is pretty cool and really have a Craftman spirit , maybe there is something techie enough for you there ?

  6. Ok, can officially announce that we developed in the previous months a special SPUTNIK bag in collaboration with BAGJACK for our upcoming expedition in Nepal, with special EDC and Safety features... I will test the prototype during the expedition and we will launch a limited series later this year. pictures of the prototype to be uploaded here in the coming weeks... (yeah i'm pretty excited)

  7. Leaving soon for my Expedition in Nepal. Will publish an EDC/ Techwear review maybe before departure or when I'm back. Anyway will post some further tests here. gonna test some nice Aerogel insulated Hardshell and a supertechwear Combat pants (for civilian use during trek)  amongst other things... anyway... just got my hands on this recently...  a nice waterproof and shockproof insert... it fits with the brand's bag, of course, but in my case also fit with my BAGJACK and FREITAG bags, a nice way to transform any bag into a camera bag with shock and water protection...  by WOTANCRAFT

  8. the charcoal is actually more black than it appear on the website. I will post a pic this week end so you can have an idea.

    Ok so I've been really busy, but here are two pics of the Coldsmoke KAPVIK MOUNTAIN PANTS . next to an ACRONYM Hardshell, so you can have an idea of the color, HOWEVER : the pants tend to be much more close (for the color) to the pics on their website when in direct Sunlight . The fabric react in that interesting way, and might be similar to some fabric used by BAGJACK for some of their Bags.

     

    ANYWAY every body will be busy watching again the new ACRNM video :)

  9. I only see charcoal and deep green on their website. Is there a true black or are you referring to the charcoal?

    the charcoal is actually more black than it appear on the website. I will post a pic this week end so you can have an idea.

  10. Just received my order, really great gear... the KAPVIK mountains pants  in Black are dope:

    http://www.coldsmokeco.com/shop/kapvik-mountain-pants/

     

    great cut, super nice feel, still a bit cold here in Paris for a complete review, but they feel really good, for the color it's a real black which is close to an ACRNM hard shell black (to give you an idea) the kind of "camo" feel is in fact very suble in day light... definitely a great piece..

  11. Anybody in to update this List  2016 style ?

     

    Discuss all things related to urban techwear. Post history of the movement, emerging brands, products, looks. Discuss materials, construction, cuts. It would help if those who have first hand experience with handling a product could give feedback for those who have only seen many of these pieces on the internet.
