Clothing for The Great Outdoors

[subiculum]

In case they don't get it....

Point taken, but I have a vintage 60/40 Sierra Designs that I took out into an actual hiking trip. Fun as hell, but a slight downpour got me drenched. I'm all for vintage blends, etc, but I like useful clothing. However...now that I think about it, isn't 60/40 supposed to be treated eventually? I didn't do much to prepare it, except wash it before using...

Love this thread, thought I might contribute. Back at home and found one of my father's old down jackets from his time as a trekking guide in Ladakh. It's made by Mountain Equipment, a mountaineering company from Cheshire. Nice and light with good heat retention.

speaking of cheshire-based companies, anyone have experience with rab? this top is supposed to be the dog's as baselayer/soft shell

Rab are definitely not a Cheshire company! Founded in Sheffield, South Yorkshire by Rab Carrington. He's a family friend and the company's products are the nuts. Doesn't come all that cheap though.

can anyone recommend a down vest for under $300 US? i live in australia so i'd have to order online (site needs to ship internationally).

i was looking at the patagonia slingshot but almost everyone seems to only have L and XL in stock. i am a L in patagonia jackets, however with a vest i think i'd need a M. i have read mixed reviews - some say they fit bigger whilst others say smaller so i'm not sure whether to bite or not. i am 6'1/75kg so if anyone has one and can advise (or recommend another) that'd be dope.

^^ get one from crescent down works. i have three pieces of theirs and all are superb.

Patagonia sizing is all over the place. If you check on their website you can get a better idea as to the sizing of a particular item, theyre good about responding to questions. But over all they fit "regular" theyre not as form fitting as stuff from arcteryx.

random but im really liking my patagonia nano puff pullover right now

[conqueror]

i'd like something i can buy now - almost everyone is sold out of cdw.

More Rucksacks and backpacks

Assorted Vintage Rucksacks from the likes of: Chouinard, EMS, REI, Gregory, Gerry, TNF, etc...

A few particularly Juicy Specimens (Mountain Master, and Chouinard, respectively)

Can anyone identify some of these brands because I can't read Japanese! hahahaa.

I love some of these bags.

Anyone go for the danner tramline yet? Trying to see a pair out in the wild before I decide if I like them.

Looking for this TNF Purple Label jacket

Any US websites stocking Mt Rainier Nordic Leggings still? Nothing at inventory or unionmade.

[LittleGhost]

Anyone got some reca for jackets on a sure budget? I live in a snowy climate, but I'm not sensitive to the cold either.

Not US, but Norse Store just got them in.

I proxied a pair from ARKnets--were around $80-90 shipped, I think

[shoreman1782]

Inventory has them as well--actually Inventory's are the knit version, not sure if that's what you were looking for.

heads-up, danner stumptown mountain lights for 130/140/150 depending on model, at the breakroom, new danner overstock site. This is an invite code which, if you use, gives me a credit. feel free to use or not to use. i have the lownsdales, and they are my favorite fall boot b/c they are so light. i paid retail too, and think they are worth it.

Man the "Urban Tech Wear" thread totally fucking ate my thread's lunch.

After a 2-3 year hiatus I am back and no one posts here anymore. I have thought about why that is, and have a few good ideas, but I will save them for another day, for now, support me and my new baby boy (!) by purchasing some outdoor classics:

Yea, I'm spamming my own thread.

And what.

[shoreman1782]

I'm cool with it.

Did anyone ever handle the Gramicci 30th anniversary narrow pants? Think they were JP exclusive, and the US Gramicci has nothing like them.

[RAISED BY WOLVES]

Not true!

They Didn't, but now they Do as of fairly recently

http://www.gramicci.com/shop/vintage-tapered-pant-p-7353.html?show_color=BLACK+IRIS

Emphasis on "Like them" though. Unfortunately not them exactly. In fact, I am getting a pair with the dough i hope to make off this sale.

Damn, wish they had a fly and maybe some better colors.

Sidenote, Mike Graham (formerly of Gramicci) has his own company that makes climbing stuff, stonemasters. Haven't tried it (and styling is more modern) but seems to get good reviews from climbers.

[RAISED BY WOLVES]

like a lot of more pedestrian websites, i think the fit and colors look way worse on Gramicci's than they actually do in real life. least I hope thats the case.

I like the dark blue, black, and "hawk" (grey?) But the japanese 30th colors are def better...what's new though, right?

No fly is kinda wack, but with the easy integrated belt it could be worse...

[Appleseed]

Lithographica just hit my inbox, wasn't sure where else it fit. Obv. for marketing, but maybe it'll develop into something more substantial over time?
