I got a chance to try on the “Tela 50 Fili 2L Garment Dyed Anti Drop Agent Coat” today. Now I’m trying to figure out what to sell to pick one up for the winter. Easily my favorite fishtail parka that I’ve tried.

Haha I’m also interested in this and got them for that purpose soooo will be back with an updated review? Seemed sturdy enough with a rugged outsole not always a fan of a suede / nubuck upper for winter but they’re gonna get beat regardless

Indeed. Suede can be ok, but you need to really keep up the protector spray treatments. 

Are they insulated at all? Decent waterproofing?

we may end up as boot twins, if I see you around I’ll nod discreetly.

@Tilore With the Jungle Boots, did you get a sense of how they might hold up and function in a Toronto winter?

this is what i get for trying to work on a shit internet connection.

Everyone's talking about the 11 Bamba, but no love for the Jungle Ultra? I like it.

Quick mirror snap. Toronto late fall weather.

Or if you want to go even more minimal - Feit
 

Yeah, but I wouldn't wear those in a real winter. They're pretty delicate and the soles are leather...

What shoes do you guys like to wear with your Veilance pants?

IMO you can do pretty much anything that feels good. I have Apparat, Voronoi, and the new Field Pant. I've worn them with muroexe Atom, Qasa, Level Runner, Vans slip ons, combat boots... it all works. I'd probably avoid anything overly chunky, but I could see that being ok too if it fits your overall style.

got the last black M of that coat from the site

Did you order direct? I couldn't find anything for international shipping. Or did you buy from a stockist?

i've been wearing the p10-s religiously over the past year or so and wanted to say how useful a small thing such as the phone pocket is.

i normally carry a small notebook in my right hand pocket and the phone pocket allows the phone to be placed elsewhere,

thus freeing up space and allowing easier access to my notebook. 

i first thought the phone pocket is just a neat gimmick, but i've grown to appreciate its subtle value. 

This is by far my favourite ACRNM feature in anything. I love it so much, I've been tempted to take all my other pants to a tailor and have one added.

I like this game.

from what I remember with ordering directly from RO is expect atleast an extra 30% of the total price you paid for fees and duties.

Even if it's a full 30%, the total is still over $100 less than local retail. :/

but I have an aversion to the 3 stripes, I just cannot see past them, silly I know.

Yeah, I get it. I don't mind how they deal with it on a lot of the new all black models, it's pretty subtle and is even more so on-foot. I still love my, now very worn, EQT Support All Black... 

On the more affordable end of the spectrum, I'm digging these.

Thanks @TEKsevenZERO and @Toilettebun. I placed my order.

For anyone else in Canada thinking of getting Level Runners, ordering them directly from RO is over $300 cheaper than buying them retail in Canada. There might be some fees on import, but it won't be that much.

I have the level runners and they are super comfy, what you do not see is the boost sole a nice hidden feature ! 

 

Thanks!  Any thoughts on the sizing?

I love those tech runners but I couldn't wear them for a whole day straight

Oh yeah? A comfort issue?

Ok, follow up. 

I may have the budget for one of these two shoes, but really can't decide. Anyone want to weight in? 

I'm trying to decide between the new "black" Level Runner or these original Tech Runners:

My apologies if i'm mistaken but they are black? Are they not? I haven't seen this season in hand yet but they look black to me and the Y3 site lists them as black?

Yeah, I just looked at the RO site and those ones are black. But I saw them at the shop last week and they were absolutely navy blue. There's also a pair on Grailed right now that show visible difference in color between the leather and the black laces. Not really sure what the deal is. 

Edit: Just looked around a lot, and they all list black. What I saw at the store really felt more navy, but now I'm second guessing myself... maybe it was the lighting? Maybe the black leather die lot is just not true black? ... Has anyone else seen them in person?

I love these new Level Runners, probably my favourite ///xRO (thanks @danii  ) since the Tech Runner. I just wish this new iteration came in all black! That navy is super tempting though, might be hard to wear with black pants...

edit: hmm iono how i feel about those field pants anymore.

I just picked them up after trying on a black pair at the main brand store in Toronto. I wasn't sure when I first saw them, as I love the fit of my Apparats and Voronoi from seasons past, but when I tried on the Field Pants I really like them on.. especially with a little roll on the cuff.

the backpack pricing in particular is beyond absurd. i look forward to seeing how it's supposedly justified though.

No kidding. I checked out the new Nomin at the shop, and while it's really nice I can't see how it's worth double the price of the previous versions. If I didn't have an older Nomin and needed a backpack now I'd look at Outlier. 

WTB:

P17 and/or P15 size M or L, open to whatever colours.

Thanks!

Seems like a hot ticket right now, but I'll throw my name into the pool.

WTB P17, size L, interested in any colour or fabric that's available. 

May also be into P15.

Could trade J25-WS L if that's of interest.

+1 ) size s-m. I've been looking it last 3 years, no success. Only size L-XL sometimes appeared at eBay.

Yeah, I've seen a few there too. But they're usually overpriced and there's no way to negotiate or have a conversation.

There's one there now, but the guy's asking too much. No guarantees I still won't cave and buy it if it's there long enough.
