Urban Techwear

It definitely works in lab conditions, but it's a little hard to tell just how much of a difference it makes when actually wearing it. It seems to work but without making a half and half garment (out of the same fabric with half being coldblack and the other not) its a bit hard to tell how much actual cooling effect it provides.

Regardless of how well it cools its a killer anti UV technology, it goes in with the dye process not as a finishing treatment so it doesn't wash off.

Underarmour just started a big rollout with the tech, apparently they like it enough to want to put it in everything.

nike roshe run 2

^ I recently got a pair and they're super comfy. Not that good for running but great for walking around.

What is the best fitted/slim fit Arc'teryx jacket? I have had my Theta for the past 4 years now and is great for when I am layering. However, it is too boxy/loose when I am just wearing a t-shirt inside.

I'm looking for a new jacket that is more fitted for the warmer season (Vancouver rainy summers)...

New Beta SL has been updated with slimmer fit for this season. Try this one, very versatile piece.

[conqueror]

my friend got one of the new beta's and his fits me super weird (he got a m and i'm 6'1/75kg) - really short on the body and way too long on the arms.

If you want it to be a really stylish cut you pretty much have to go Veilance.

Almost all shells have really long arms and most of them are pretty baggy because you're supposed to layer under them.

depends what exactly you are planning on doing in it, but the composite from Veilance would likely fit the bill and give you a fit that you just will not get from an outdoor product.

some outlier just got discounted for the coming weekend here.

[burgerking]

new nike nfl socks.

apparently they're [a little] hydrophobic too.

uvu apparel look amazing but damn are they expensive. just wondering with their statement on taping do anyone else sonic weld the seems then tape, do arcteryx perform this or similar on their veilance range?

[scamster]

tigerprawn quite a lot more it's 825 quid but the nike vapour look like a grey bin bag in the daylight.

Ultrasonic welding has been around for a while with out much pickup. Only people I can think of offhand that are using it now are Backcountry.com for their Stoic house brand. Maybe Mountain Hardware was/is using it too?

Maybe a discussion for a different time/place but a lot of people think that the tech is inherantly bad for the workers. It certainly *feels* wrong to be close to those machines, but not sure anyone has proven it is actually harmful.

Aesthetically speaking not finding uvu very interesting. Stuff looks very well made though so hopefully will see a bigger collection from them with a greater variety of designs!

[fungz0r]

Nice review tigerprawn, might have to pick up a pair of the dungarees now to give my OG pants some time off.
