>What is techwear?
We wear clothes to be comfortable, to cover up our shame, and more importantly for our protection. Technical clothing, focuses on incorporating functionality through the use of textiles and construction techniques. When you mention clothes a wide array of different designs will come to mind and it goes the same with technical clothing, although the fashion community likes to lump technical clothing into this one style. This idea that it's a futuristic military style, but that's just not the case. Conroy Nachtigall a former designer of Arc'teryx Veilance explains creating technical clothing as:"It's not thinking about zippers is not thinking about seem tapes, not thinking about ... all these little elements. Those are all part of the end goal"

Out of frustration of wanting something centralized, clear, complete, and constantly active - I've decided to make a Techwear GroupMe group. As of now, named:

"Techwear: General"

It's a live chat group, with the intention to centralize the Techwear community, in an effort to facilitate activity and progress.

Use it to discuss and share anything from:

News
Fits
Crits
Cops
Dops
Grails
Predictions
Questions
Meet Ups
And any other general discussion

---

GroupMe Offers:

- A chat-wide, chronologically stored, cloud/app-based picture gallery:
Users can see what images members have posted throughout the chats history.

- A Calendar/Event Tracker Function:
All users can create/post events, while including information like - Event Start/End Time, Location, Photos, Descriptions, and Event Reminders. Chat users can then label themselves as either "Yes" or "No" for attending an Event.
(This is can be used to set up Local meet ups, or even as far as Collection Drop Reminders).

- Filter by recent popular posts.

- In-App Direct Message (DM) function, for personal 1-to-1 conversation.

To Use:

- Download App/Make an account on GroupMe (Cross-platform: iOS, Android, Windows Phone, Web)

another fail from acrnm on sufu this time on j28k

"Has anyone something to say about the water repellancy of the J28-K? I tested it out in the rain and it drained water away for nearly 3 minutes, then it started to absorb it. It dries very fastly due to great breathability wich I'm very happy with; but since it's selled as waterproof, started thinking some treatment steps are missing."

You'd think that $1500 would afford some sort of testing and quality control, regardless. I am sure that the only recourse ACRNM will make is to remove the term "waterproof" from their e-commerce copy.

>> No.11812297

>>11811884
Waterproof doesn't mean "never absorbs water". The membrane is on the inside, the shell fabric should be able to soak through entirely without any water actually getting inside the jacket.

Water repellency is just a coating on the shell fabric that pretty much always fails quickly in heavy rain, but it has nothing to do with the jacket being waterproof. It just helps it breathe better in light weather.

This comes from Bike messengers who are constantly hopping on and off their bike and U-locking their shit to something. Also, mess-bag same deal. Quick to slide over your shoulder and pull stuff out of.

I actually tried this with an SBR sub machinegun and found that it's effective. Conceals the firearm and allows quick magazine changes and rapid re-concealment.

Less effective than dressing like a yuppy and carrying a tennis raquet bag though.

extremely light and breathable and it also drys almost instantly, lock your foot in snug, and also believe it or not its very very durable. I've had 6 flyknit shoes that I've beaten to death and run hard in and the flyknits completely unscathed.

there was a similar situation on /r/streetwear not too long ago basically revolving around the middle ground of where to buy clothes. It was either u got it from a thrift store or name brand shit stretching up to high end designer. A middle ground wasnt really a thing because from what I remember some guy posted cheap flannels from walmart that were like 9$ (looked relatively good) but got flak for it.
So pretty much it was their way or the high way , and right now it sorta seems like that to me at least

This for girls only works for white people and feminine others. Otherwise you'll come off as a closet communist edgy feminist as fuck piece of trash. I guess if you're a sort of butch looking minority girl, you could still pull it if you add some ethnic details to make it seem like you're a kurdish nationalist or something, but generally, since so few women are into techwear, it will be a politically charged thing to wear.

There is a mountaineering clothing set that has been filled with Aerogel. This is an experimental, special insulating material that is over 99.999% air. A handful of people have climbed Mt. Everest while equipped with this.

Imagine being some rich, successful Chinese dude and seeing your 20 year olduni student beta son going out dressed like this, and then seeing the credit card bill for the month and it was like $6,000 because this dude paid resale prices for everything.

These faggots are so unoriginal.
The ACRNM Presto release is great for one thing though, it clearly highlights the posers.

How can people even write up so much about a fucking tumblr meme?

I mean seriously, if people just stopped giving names to everything like it's so fucking original and start using existing names in their intended way, we wouldn't have to deal with over a million different styles that are each as shallow as a puddle but really part of a dozen or so actual major styles.

Depends on the application. If they're made of a light fabric and cut in a relaxed fit, then they will have superior cool airflow around one's testicles in hot weather, thus stimulating optimal testosterone production for sprinting away from private security contractors.
