Vancouver Meetup

[timber]

Can anyone recommend a store in Vancouver where I can find clothes for super cold temperatures (thermal under-layers, etc)? I'm going to Yellowknife next week and it's going to be -20°C.

I've looked at MEC, Arcteryx and others, but advice would be awesome.

super cold temperatures

-20°C.

yes

yes I think I'll spend the winter in vancouver where this is considered cold.

and just layer a bunch, I don't think you need thermals for that. the bay/sears should have something though unless you want some high end longjohns for some reason.

[timber]

Vancouver barely ever falls before 0°C - it's like a sickly grey paradise during winter.

We're just going to be shooting a lot of footage outside/possibly at night and I fear the cold. But I think you're right - thermals should be fine. If I freeze, I'll have the other crew members avenge my death.

man when I lived in van and it snowed, I lold so hard at fools using umbrellas all the time. you folk have no idea what to do in cold weather huh?

[timber]

I'm from NYC. I could strangle a man without gloves in the snow.

clothing stores?

go to gastown and you can check out haven, roden gray, neighbor and inventory which are are literally within 2 blocks.

[joelz]

yea that seems liek a good list, i think i tried to go there last year at thanksgiving (canadian) and nothing was open yet, so it'd be good to check 'em out.

How was that sale thing? Too busy this week. Anything worth mentioning?

[larssss]

^^meh. I didn't grab anything.

edit: that being said, if you are really into w+h then there is lots

haven haven haven

inventory is cool but really high markup on some stuff, same with roden gray

neighbor opened since the last time i was in vancouver so i can't really say

Most things seemed around 70% off retail. I'm pretty sure the hoodies were $70, I got a thermal shirt for $35-ish, which retailed for $100.

Lots of selection though. The nicest thing I saw was a super built Wool Tweed Down Jacket for $300.

I wish they had more in XS...or that that I was a burly man's man.

[e0d9n0b5]

woah that jacket was like pushing 1k retail. nicee
