Man. If TAD Gear would just stop putting swathes of velcro for patches on their clothing...patchless versions appear to be selling out, it saves them money on materials, and it looks better.

SISP is up on Haven. Some great looking next to skin layers.

Now I know Arc'teryx Veilance rightfully gets a lot of love around here. Construction is done astoundingly well, designs tend to be understated but incredibly wearable, and they usually put out their gear in good colors. But is one pair of their pants superior to having two pairs of Outlier pants?

[shoreman]

Definitely, man. That's why I feel Outlier was an exceptional brand for its original price point. Now that's it's jumped up into a different category, it's worth spending a bit more to get a superior product.

I'm inclined to agree with that. Outlier's prety close to the dirty bird in price, but nowhere near as advanced.

Also, not sure where the price hike came from, but there are cheaper high-quality places in the usa to have pants sewn than the NY garment district. TAD and beyond's usa made apparel comes to mind.

[wahwho11]

proof nyc pants are about 185. they're having a promotion of 25% off making their pants 138. looks like they use the same material and are made in nyc. i would get them but i don't want grey.

code is: springproof

i had some nonetheless neoshell pants, they were cool but huge in the thighs like keiran dungs. sent em back because they didn't fit and because the fabric makes so much noise on itself (swish swish swish)

anyone know of pants that have built in knee pads (like this http://www.cryeprecision.com/P-APRCP40232R/Combat-Pants-Ac ) but aren't so aggressive or military looking?

[crucialkc]

All that comes to mind is triple aught design. Still militarian tho.

Actually really like the ones you posted in black, those look sick

[fungz0r]

Why does the nonetheless shirt have 4 buttons on the sleeve cuff :S

[Inkinsurgent]

shinobi looks a bit gimmicky, like they've seen an acronym hoody and are trying to copying the patterning purely for aesthetic's sake without grasping the underlying ergonomics.

[WillKhitie]

Both brands feel like examples of what happens when people attempt to cash-in on the look of a particular market. There's perhaps a shred of sincerity with what nonetheless is trying to do, but SHNB (don't you just die inside?) just feels disgustingly unoriginal.

[norby500]

got this recon brand new jacket designed by errolson for grabs if theres interest?

Anyone know of any Shoeller or similar material water repellent sweatshirts, pref with thumbloops.

Looking for something of this type to wear underthe ACR SS-CP2 for a weather resistant shield without the hardshell look/feel.

trying to find anything like that WITHOUT a hood is proving impossible.

I have the marmot polartech softshell and love it but want a discreet/stealthy (read 'black') option.

Any suggestion greatly appreciated but there appears from my investigation to be a void in that segment of the market.

Also needs to be in XL sizing so chances are lessening I guess.

[TEKsevenZERO]

Cheers TP - it really is proving to be an elusive beast, not seen in the wild !

I have various merino/zipped/synthetic base layer but as you said, no crew sweats of this ilk and I think it would be killer.

I'll keep my roving eye open and thx for the headsup on the discount possibilities.

[SuE]

Isaora has those dyed down crew pullovers but they are probably fall under a hardshell look. There's a simple Ventile half-zip for a lightshell/softshell look, albeit it comes with a high collar. I can't think of anything closer.

Worth mentioning, Isaora is on huckberry for a bit better discount than their own site.

Beyond clothing makes something called the steel action shirt that's essentially a schoeller dynamic half-zip longsleeve pullover. It's more of a four-season shirt than a sweat (no warmth, just water repellent and crazt breathable/stretchy) but it does come in black, can be made to measure and if you ask nicely they'll probably make it with thumb loops of some sort.

[Brainboy]

Herno Laminar SS13 at Haven ...and yes, that's Gore Perfecto! Awesome.

[AppliedScience]

ID this jacket? if you don't recognize it, it's the alternate art for NO LOVE DEEP WEB.

[AppliedScience]

nice call, disappointing though because it didn't occur to me that the jacket was actually that bright. assumed it was just the editing.

I want these. So bad. I know they've been mentioned before but this sealed it.

[cool]

wow, those shoes are really something.

*buys large box of instant noodles*

[TEKsevenZERO]

They are nice - reminds me somewhat of the HTM Sock Dart from a while back

Which i guess int urn are an evolution of the Mowabb?

[digitaltantra]

is it just me or those Y-3s look like a really tricked out Roshe?

[wahwho11]

it's the oversized rounded sole that makes them look like rosche. but the top looks 100x better.

edit: rosche are over in sufu, right? thank god.

Edited March 22, 2013 by wahwho11

[Vampyrvargfesten]

i would say they're more like prestos

[kH0yA Sw@Gp0o]

yes, sole+shapeless toe contributes to the roshe vibe but imho they're a lot better looking.

also see a bit of this coming through:
