Can you tailor gore tex coats? How much would you think it would cost?

Does anyone know if you can still get these mountaineer jackets?

Type "Gore-Tex," "waterproof" and the name of any reputable outdoor gear manufacturer, "hardshell," "softshell," "Schoeller," "Polartec," etc. into eBay and be pleasantly surprised.

If you're super poor, check the lowest rent thrift shops in poor areas and mid-tier (like Goodwill) thrift shops in rich areas, and see if any food banks near you also have clothing distribution programs, or if there's a free store in your area.

You're not going to find a White Mountaineering BLK shell unless you're super lucky, but you'll be able to find functional and beautiful /out/core clothes.

>>10333917
Yes, but your local tailor can't do it without fucking up the membrane. Send it to Rainy Pass Repairs if you don't have a local outdoor repair shop; they're the place used by both Gore and REI for warranty repairs.

It's pricey, but you're paying for special skills and equipment. They'll give you an estimate.

Does anyone know a good brand of tacticool coats with Velcro on the side ?

u start this thread in august, lol

>wearing unnecessarily "practical" clothing in a situation where it's "practicality" is not needed
>"whats your excuse for wearing kids clothes?"
This is as dumb as wearing combat boots, basketball shorts, suspenders, and leather gloves all at the same time
Do you realize this?

I have a Topo Designs mountain jacket.....fucking love it
Thrift stores have LL Bean jackets aplenty
Typical outfit: Topo jacket, reigning champ tee, Ripstop pants, Mountain Lights, rucksack

>>10333903
too poor, best I can do is Uniqlo's water defender

>>10333929
You can get a Barbour x White Mountaineering parka for like 200 bucks now
They're on clearance; I bought it

What's your ruck and pants?

>>10334673
Shh...

>>10334677
Thanks, but that's Mirandabags, forever. Best helpful trip of all time is probably poet.

>>10335055
>implying you can't drink tea and mate
>implying mate isn't very arguably a tea

Personally, I drink coffee the most, then mate, then other kinds of tea.

And sure, there's yuppies who stumble into legit gear and never push it, but 1) those cats are usually in TNF or Arc'Teryx, not exotic Japanese fashion shells, 2) my guess is that most gear above the price point paid by people who want something to keep them dry walking to the subway actually gets used well, including stuff sold in technical fabrics as fashion, and 3) a lot of this stuff is designed for intensive use in cities as well.

Like, if you don't drive and don't want to futz with an umbrella, you need at least a hardshell to live in many cities without depending on cars.

>>10335116
Ruck is a North Face White Label bag from last year; alternate between that and my Topo rovers
Plan on getting a Poler or Mt Rainier bag next
Have a few pairs of Carhartt Ripstop pants but my Topo Ripstop pants are fucking awesome. Comfy, nice pockets, far and away my favorite pants

If the Barbour x White Mountaineering parka wasn't so nice I wouldn't be spreading the gospel....but seriously you can find it in every size I don't think those sold at all (at regular price)

The fact that you didn't explicitly mention mate gave me a headache

We done here?

>>10334632
Dude you need to be prepared for winter fits. And labels are starting to release f/w lines right now
So most people are already looking into getting stuff before it sells out

>>10335132
Sorry, I could've done that post up better.

>>10335050
wasn't me, I was rebuking him after the greentext. The greentext was just getting caught up in 4chan shit, didn't mean to sound like I was actually calling foul on your post.

The "Shh..." also wasn't meant aggressively, more like a tongue and cheek way of saying "yeah, those are a super good deal."

Two selections from what we're talking about: this shirt is currently $112 USD at Haven.

>>10335173
This poncho is $225 USD. Resin-coated linen, cotton accents, nylon lining.

>>10335173
Figured
Sometimes I keep deals to myself but this one was worth sharing
White Mountaineering stuff is generally unattainable because of the price and instant sellouts....so it's a real treat to have something designed by them

>>10333903
women love your gortex rain repellent jacket?

fyi new acrnm fw16 drops in about 3 weeks

>>10335273
Whatever happened to the SS16 x Nemen stuff?

>>10335207
Yeah, I'm generally pro sharing retail deals. One off auctions are harder to call, and generally I think saving those for the people into something enough to be crawling Rakuten for it is good.

>>10335305
If you're referring to the red/pink/blue/green stuff I think those were leaked photos of buyer samples for fw16 nemen x acr.

>>10335326

I appreciate this after getting into hiking and being /out/ in general. I've always liked the techwear aesthetic but this isn't quite as nice. And I wouldn't wear it in an urban environment, i.e. my daily life.

>>10335329

>>10335322
Ah, someone reported they were labeled SS16 on /fa/, I thought.

Looking forward to it, then.

>>10335381
could be, I'm just speculating.
>>10335391
yea I'm not really a fan of it.

Too hot in Cali even in winter

>>10333903

>>10335524
your batteries just died, all thats left is 3 or 4 wet matches. u fumble with them, now 2 matches. First one splits in half, u try again, no light. Second one emits a faint light for a second but it doesn't bounce off your black garment failing to alert your friends.

>>10334666
How heavy duty is the topo mountain jacket? Does it have any kind of insulation? I have a topo bag and I love it, but I need a jacket that can withstand like -15 celsius

>>10335516
you are gaper-core

>>10333903
I don't live in fucking Alaska or something.
I don't hike much and when I do it is not in winter.

>>10336064
Very light, fam
The jacket is good in the wind and rain but there's not much insulation

What makes gore tex special?

>>10336120
High wind resistance, water resistance, extremely durable, extremely light weight
And it breathes

>>10336115
kinda what I expected.. cheers breh

>>10336179
Check out the Norse Projects Nunk
Same design but it has an awesome heavy cotton liner......twice as thick as you'd expect from heavy cotton lol

>>10335572
so put your spare batteries in
or blow your whistle
or don't go out on a mountain at night since you're clearly not ready for it

>>10335572
Sometimes you just die, man.

>>10336120
But this thread won't, yet, because I'm bumping it now so I can do a lengthy response to this and some other stuff later.

Wtc costanza's gore tex jacket?

>>10336090
Haha probably, it was opening day at the local hill and I didn't want to look like I was about to go heli-ski the AK BC when I was cruising the WROD on rock skis. Only wore the helmet because it has headphones in it and as protection from retards plowing into me in the lift line.

You a mag, btw?

>>10333903

Related to this question

What do people think of the new line of jackets from Penfield - is Penfield a decent brand for this kind of thing or just hype / branding?

I love this Apex parka, has a down filling. Is this worth it for the price? http://penfield.com/mens/jackets/w15-pf-mens-apex-jacket-navy

>>10333903
> wearing mountain-geer without climbing mountains

Good luck

>>10334673

Motherfucker, did you pick up the brown mountaineer parka from Bloomingdales for $220? I slept on that shit for a day and when I went back it was gone.

>>10335173
>>10335181

The Barbour x WM stuff is great, but Moncler W collections are absolute grails everywhere for me.

>tfw won't be able to afford this shit for years

>>10344185
Here's a pic
Sorry for the lack of flash

>>10344209

Love the poncho. Do you find yourself wearing it frequently? Seems like a difficult piece to style just because it's so detailed.

I had really intended to pick up pic related, but I'm kind of glad I didn't because I'm probably going to pick up a piece from the A/W collection.

>>10344185
And btw I posted about this as soon as the sale started
Coz I popped in to a Barbour store back in mid-July and they had everything from the Adidas and WM collaborations at half price

>>10344249
Yeah man I love it
It's light and very well made
I have short arms and Barbour stuff always fits me perfectly right of the rack

>>10344249

what some techwear-ish pants for a reasonable price? under 200 usd? they dont have to be literally techwear like rainproof, just an alternative to get the some aesthetic.

>>10337067
>>10345254
Gonna do these in the other techwear thread.

I like the idea of this, my dress sense is partially based on hiking/camping clothes. Anyone got any good insp?
