yes or no? / this or that?

[mrchariybrown]

should I drop $240 on under armour cold gear compression shirts/leggings for the cold months ahead in seoul?

or should I try to deal with the weather there with my uniqlo thermals and long johns?

[mpcec]

valhalla: no

charly: yes to cold gear e: didnt realize they were 240. fuck no.

[mrchariybrown]

long johns are good for keeping me warm in probably ~30F weather with a bit of wind for a limited amount of time. probably about 15 minute spurts.

my experience with compression gear, is that as long as I'm moving (i.e. walking), I'm completely warm and toasty. and I can get to the point of getting too warm if I run or something.

and I hear UA cold gear is that much better at regulating body temperatures in temps near 0F even

[mrchariybrown]

$240 is a bit much eh?

what about if it were a touch under $200? still worth it?

I mean, I would have to think about spending that much on jawnz of any sorts..

but, I really don't like to put a number on things that'll keep me safe.. especially against sickness :\

EDIT: actually, this seems like it would be better posted in the seoul discussion thread.

[Guest umhaha84]

hm....uniqlo heattech's good enough i think.

[haploid]

valhalla: first look made me think "wow those look really cool" (very nice shape/form), then I looked a bit harder and was totally turned off by the suede upper. It looks as though someone has sewn the top of a boot onto a dress shoe/sneaker. No.

[Guest umhaha84]

men ugg Y/N

[valhalla]

^ no.

Ok I got my answer on the OC boots. I was on the verge of pulling the trigger. But haploid is right, it looks like a frankenboot/shoe.

[RCM]

men ugg Y/N

NNNNNNNNNNNN

[sawn-off chef]

big yes. in actuality, if they're to be used like slippers sure.

[Egpt]

agree?

[Guest umhaha84]

yeah I was just gonna wear it going to school or corner shop and shit.

chicago winter don't fuck around...

[kpnv]

you actually considered uggs?

[Guest umhaha84]

weather constantly hitting 9 degrees fahrenheit.

you won't understand

[rungo]

Should look at Sorels for actual warmth.

...

Though these might be slightly overkill for your winters, rated to -40. More necessary where it actually gets that cold.

edit: Upon doing some looking into things, Sorel no longer trustworthy, apparently quality has gone to shit since selling to Columbia and outsourcing to China. Mine are semi handed down made in Canada old ones.

[sirkus]

I saw a dude on the metro wearing Uggs today, looked so wrong.

If you can get some Made in Canada Sorels I would go for those, they've kept my feet super toasty in -20 Celsius Montreal weather

[sirkus]

where would you get these? My friend is looking for cheaper boots.

Sorry for the secrecy, I had to secure my size before I could let the cat out of the bag.

To get these boots you need to call Dayton directly (1-800-342-8934) and request the Service Boot that Wings and Horns used. There are VERY limited sizes left, I just picked up the last tagged 8 (fit a US 9).

Anyways, I've replied all PM's and there were quite a few so hop to it! Plus there is a Christmas discount which brought it down to 230$ CAD. + 30$ for 2 day shipping. But I know I had the option of 15$ for 7 day shipping.

The only leather soled service boot (same sole as W+H) is in size 5 1/2 so fits a 6 1/2. If you know anyone in that size you should get them to hop on it!

I also asked for leather laces which they were happy to provide.

why the fuck you need long johns for when it's hardly beyond freezing point.

shits like -15c where Im at and we still rock jeans and sneakers. we're cold but w-e.

[polishmike]

[sawn-off chef]

if you fucking promise not to let the stupid fucking fly hang down, yes. i hate when people do that, shit looks retarded. would look good with your pilot jacket though and some black sneaks.

[BioSore]

Looking at the plaid pants, second from the left. They're a pair of A/W 09 Drykorn trousers, second-hand for $60 in good condition.
