>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, this is a very broad definition. 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"

Thanks guys, for being dedicated to wearing technical clothing. Glad that we have consistent threads all being active and filled to its brim before dying. It's really great!

I'm expecting to go make some bigger updates to the first style guide on tuxbell. Would be awesome if there wasn't just one person tackling the project

>dedicated to wearing technical clothing.
But from what I noticed, nobody in these threads actually wears this stuff

I just want to see what it looks like on average regular, non-model, non-photoshopped people

The style I actually like, especially compared to the overly hipster looking colorful crap out there at the moment

Also, screenscap with retards, for retards. You can keep making threads, but you'll stay butthurt

You want something vinyl or polyurethane coated. Anything nylon or polyester is going to eventually soak through. Those ugly RAINS bags would be waterproof I'd imagine. It's sad that ACRNM doesn't make one waterproof bag despite how expensive the shit is.

Speaking of pathetic: brand new ACRNM pants arrive to their owner with holes in them. This brand has such poor technical performance and bad quality as well. The ACRNM facebook groups and SuFu are full of stories of zippers busting and seams breaking on barely used items. It really is just a form over function brand. You wouldn't even get this level of poor quality control from Target or Wal-Mart.

You can start getting in on the cheap
I've never seen this suggested, but go to an army surplus store.
You can get good basics on the cheap

Look for some simple black BDU pants, Pinroll them, or either get them tapered at the ends.

Jackets are hit or miss, most surplus stores I've been to have parkas, but they're very Vietnam Era looking.

Honestly, Thrift shops ain't too bad if you hunt at a few spots weekly.
Look in the Athletic Wear Sections

Most of my Tech Fits Run me cheap by doing this.

It won't be ACRNYM tier, But it'll give you a start.

Honesty, the fit I posted earlier was my 9 or 10th, and this is the only one I've ever gotten positive responses from.

Just mix/match and get feedback.

Don't let those grails be a paperweight.

Mission Workshop bags are called "weatherproof" because they're being truthful. Actual waterproof bags are heavy and inconvenient to use; they're for canoeing and the like.

Yes, that's a drybag. Heavy construction of heavy materials, roll top opening, few pockets, minimal and not very comfortable suspension.

If you're looking for a bag to jump into lakes with, then that might be your ticket. I'd prefer a bag that carries my shit in a comfortable and organized fashion, and keeps it dry in rainstorms. It doesn't need to be waterproof, because I'm not jumping into lakes.

So I have some Levi commuter cargos that I don't usually wear, but want to since fall/winter is coming up. Problem is that they look bulky and are not tapered enough and I of course want them to mimic the cut of some P10s. Do you just take something like this to any tailoring/alterations place? The only places near me just seem to be either bridal boutiques that do formal alterations or dry cleaners. It seems like it would feel odd to come in with some water repellant cyclist cargos and ask them to style it based on some ACR product shots.

Please shut up if you don't know what you're talking about

5000mm is a rating used for FABRICS, not bags. A large number of bags are made out of waterproof material, but are not constructed in a waterproof fashion, hence "weatherproof" or "water resistant" or something along those lines. If the bag is intelligently designed, this will keep your shit dry unless you go canoeing with it.

I use a smartshaker. A bit overpriced, but fairly functional. Has a guarantee that the plastic won't melt (protip: the plastic can still fuck up, but they are good with warranty)

It can hold boiling liquids, but shake it at your own risk- steam will fill the thing and pop the lid. That said, mixing warm cocoa/sugar/whey/oatmeal shakes is so fucking worth it. Just open it every time you give it a small shake to equalize pressure and then you have a toasty, tasty thing.

I have one of those in 40oz. The coating shows minor wear pretty quickly if you're even the slightest bit rough with it. Nothing damaging, and it hasn't advanced past a certain "stage" of wear in a while, but it is something to be aware of if you're buying on aesthetic.
I also have yet to drop it so I make no comment on the long-term durability.

Mind, the smartshaker *will* degrade. The print on the side of mine does not work, and some have warped. Again though, gymsector (gymgrossisten in sweden) have good deals for them. I have two that are still in good working condition, although one has a superficial pipe imprint melted into it after somehow managing to fall down onto the pipe carrying hot water in our communist era dish washer.

Again though, they're good, but mind, they do not isolate in the least. You can comfortably hold hotter-than-you-can-drink-comfortably liquids in it though. And it microwaves.

I live in Seattle and I agree this or maybe some parts of northern California are best for tech. The weather is largely the same for months on end and having an Arc'teryx store downtown is nice.

Are we basing the "acronym is shit quality" meme I've been reading in this thread on the P23TS cuff issue from the latest batch (a legit fuck-up) and the Nike Presto collab with some poorly glued tape on the upper (more of a Nike fuck-up than an Acronym fuck-up)?
Because I've been an acronym customer for a long time and the last word I would use to describe the quality of their clothing is "shit". My P23's arrived without a problem this season, as did my two pairs of prestos. Well over a dozen pieces ordered and no issues to complain about other than a poorly garment dyed piece from a Nemen collab which was exchanged for another one.
My biggest complaint with Acronym is their customer service which was kinda ok a few years ago, but has gotten progressively worse to the point where now it's nearly impossible to get a response from them.

also the almost complete lack of any technical performance from acrnm, constant zipper failures and seams tearing reported on sufu and general variance in customer satisfaction.
when you compare this with veilance where almost all the reviews are glowing positive to the point of cultism, then we can consider that there is some quality issues in acronym that extend beyond minor faults and defects here and there (which in itself is kind of fucked given the price of this stuff, each piece should be gone over with a fine tooth comb)

All arcteryx products are guaranteed for the 'practical' life time of the product. Im not sure how far this extends but Ive heard of people having jackets replaced after delaminating at 5+ years. In my case both pairs of pants had issues with a nyco fabric starting to wear through after 1 and 1.5 years respectively. Also, as someone who owns mulitple pieces from veilance an acronym, I can say that acronym's quality is as just as good, they just dont offer a warranty

Shit man before you spend the $ on the dsptch one, I recommend this one https://amzn.com/B016WERL3Q
It definitely doesn't look as cool as the dsptch or Outlier, but the fidlock connector is easier to use and it's 1/4 the price. Plus I have both and I can tell you from experience that more than once the dsptch has come unclasped without me unclasping it. The cheap amazon one has never once done that and as a result I use it more frequently.

>>11801830
>almost complete lack of any technical performance from acrnm
This is the exact opposite of my experience with the brand. I'm truly curious what you mean by that. They're using the same Goretex that veilance is using. Actually not really - Acronym uses Goretex pro in 100% of their GT jackets. Veilance is using the less breathable regular Goretex in more than half of their jackets.
>constant zipper failures
Using the wrong language again, homie. "Constant" wouldn't quantify most people's experience with the brand.
>seams tearing reported on sufu
Won't argue with this. I saw the issue with the P23's on sufu and it made me nervous to open the box I received from Acronym a few days ago. My P23's ended up being fine. Maybe that was because I got the CH ones and all the problems being reported were with the S ones. I don't know.. As a fan of the brand it definitely made me kind of pissed. What was even more upsetting is the lack of customer outreach regarding the issue. But at the end of the day, it ended up being an issue reported by only a few people that was affecting only P23TS-S.

>>	Anonymous Tue Sep 27 10:05:15 2016 No.11802073 >>11801830 I would imagine any issues with "lack of any technical performance" are from people buying the gabardine and etaproof stuff and not knowing what it is. Goretex literally will not let you sell products with their name that don't perform.

Nope, my monitor Sft coat from 2012 still looks pretty much brand new. One of the great things about veilance (and arc generally) is that they are always experimenting. This means that occasionally something doesn't work right, like the nylon/cotton blend I was having durability issues with. With their warranty you get all the benefits without the risk, since if something isn't working you can always get it replaced.

While not identical to that Jansport, the Outlier Ultrahigh or Veilance Nomin are both plain looking and are both made with particularly good fabric, however neither are made from fabric that I would consider extra-thick or chunky. In fact the fabrics are quite the opposite.

If you want something made from 1000 weight cordura nylon fabric and heavyweight #10 YKK nylon self-locking zippers, look at Red Oxx. Their shit is built like a tank with double box stitching at all stress points and their prices are affordable considering its all made in the USA. The complete downside to Red Oxx is that the design of their products are extraordinarily utilitarian and not at all fashionable. And their color options are straight outta a 4 year old's crayola box.

>>	Anonymous Wed Sep 28 20:12:42 2016 No.11807345 >>11807017 Yes. For a more economic option check out Atsko sports wash. Comes in a bigger container and just uses one cap per wash. Only available in USA though.

What are some slim backpacks / messenger bags?

I only take my Laptop with me to class and I dont want something larger than 15 inches in legnth. Pic related is what I use and its getting pretty beat up.

Also, where can I buy pants similar to the Adidas climacool joggers? The way they fit on my legs makes it so the shins are fully tapered and the rest is somewhat loose, kinda like japanese harem pants.

yeah that's horrible. it's just going to get weird reactions from normies like "did you buy a little boy backpack"? and they would be right to mock you

just get any one of the million fashionable backpacks that are small or made specifically for laptops

I've spent a good amount of time looking and honestly couldnt find one that I genuinely liked. I've always liked things to be minimal and flush to my body so its pretty hard to find something that I like.

Anyways, they were cheap af on amazon so I copped pic related and the same in red and olive. 3 bags for $80 is pretty fucking good desu

>"did you buy a little boy backpack"

Funny enough, I've had people ask me where I got it because they wanted one for themselves, but yea they are really niche and kinda weird looking

They look alot nicer if you take off the jansport logo imo

ight, lets see how this goes...
figured I'd post here as well as sufu - so sorry for partial pasta:

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.

>>	Anonymous Thu Sep 29 08:53:33 2016 No.11809114 Is there a subset of techwear focused on comfort and freedom of movement more than 'muh fashun'? Maybe centered around free running or parkour?

I just wanted to bump this one more time before the thread vanishes.

No one knows where to get one of the 2800 denier nylon White Mountaineering \ Porter backpacks?

Or any simple-looking, basic-looking student-type backpack with super-heavy material?
