I just happened upon techwear myself and I really like the 'look' of it, as well as the function. I'm just a little confused about the actual function of it. Is it like 'prep' or other styles that you build a whole wardrobe of? Or do people just have their 1 techy outfit for when the weather is awful?
For example do people mostly wear their Acnes, but when it rains bust out the Outliers, or do you just have 3 pairs of Outlier jeans?

Either. Depends on the function you want and your style.

Merino is typically my first choice. Besides the perfect feeling on and around your skin, it's a relatively cheap way to get tees that drape like much more expensive fashion pieces.

At the same time, there's plenty of non-performance shirts I have and love. Something very typical for my style is wearing a longsleeve merino baselayer with a shortsleeve shirt in some more abrasion resistant fabric. Like a black baselayer and a fashion-y graphic tee over it.

>>/fa/thread/S7160041#p7161271

Here's an old thread with me talking about merino vs. polyester baselayers and when you want either and Anorak writing a love letter to Heattech.

Small tech trivia thing: Heattech is made for Uniqlo by Toray, who are basically the Japanese Polartec. They make some of the best performance fabrics in the world and run that knowhow down to more accessible consumer products. IMO/E Heattech isn't quite as actively pleasurable as wool, but that it dries faster makes it better for extended wear in climate controlled environments, where wool's moisture abilities can just get overwhelmed by time. Perfectly engineered fabric for, say, a twelve hour intercity transit ride.

Acronym J43, this season.

You might also want to look back to the J20, J27, J32, and J34. J20-J34 and J43 get progressively more minimal, which you may or may not like. J34 is a bit of an exception; it's a minimalist derivation of a Bundeswehr jacket. They've all been made in various flavors of Gore-Tex and the J27 at least has also been done in Epic, a silicone-encapsulated cotton.

>>8918567
It's called a few things. What it specifically *is* is some edition of Isaora's flagship Riding Shell. The type of jacket it is is a hardshell, i.e. a jacket with a waterproof/breathable membrane laminated to more normal fabrics. The design is optimized for snowsports.

http://www.rei.com/learn/expert-advice/rainwear.html
http://www.rei.com/learn/expert-advice/rainwear-how-it-works.html

Good introductions to rainwear from a functional perspective. I'll add two things. First, in an urban environment, most of the time a softshell is going to be more optimal than a hardshell, because you're not going to be in protracted heavy rain. Second, it notes that if "convenience and comfort" matter most you'll want a two-layer hardshell because "the most relaxed, roomy fits, plus have a relative abundance of pockets."

What they're doing is comparing typical lower end hardshells designed for casual use (urban, car camping, light hiking, onnaboat) to higher end, typically three layer shells designed for alpine use. These are typically cut for the sort of honed, lean body climbers have and go light on the pockets to save weight and things that can break, plus it's less necessary when you're wearing other gear with pockets.

J34 is a bit of an exception; it's a minimalist derivation of a Bundeswehr jacket. J19 is less elaborate externally than the J20, but it features an internal "suspensor" cargo system that can carry e.g. a laptop. They've all been made in various flavors of Gore-Tex and the J27 at least has also been done in Epic, a silicone-encapsulated cotton.

Pic is J20, my favorite of the lot.

Isaora up to S/S '13 (which I think was their best) was a lot better than the present version, IMO. Just more interesting, more playful, more rooted in their boardsports background.

Waterproof does, but you don't really want them. Same materials as hardshell jackets. Stuff like:

http://www.patagonia.com/us/product/mens-leashless-pants?p=84950-0

The Signal is great; it's made of Schoeller Dryskin, one of the best performance fabrics in the world for light use or urban weather.

It was dissatisfaction with the breathability of a pair of Prada Linea Rossa Gore-Tex pants that got Abe Burmeister, one of the founders of Outlier, to also start making pants in Dryskin.

If you mean standard underwear, upgraded Fruit of the Loom type stuff? Merino or a blend is ideal.

If you mean performance baselayers? see >>8918759

>>8918870
An Isaora one shouldn't itch much at all, but some people are just more sensitive to the texture or outright allergic to wool.

The fineness/un-itchiness of wool is usually measured in microns. I've never seen a number for any of Isaora's offerings, but virtually everything meant for next to skin use these days is under 20 microns. 18.something is standard.

What I'd do is try on something else (an REI would be a good place to go, try Patagonia's wool/poly blend ones) and see how you react. There's a few companies - Ibex, Kuiu, Outlier off the top of my head - with 17.5 micron offerings that are a little finer.

You might want to check out alpaca stuff - it's hypoallergenic and better than sheep's wool in pretty much every way, but much less common and more expensive. The Feuersteins - the family originally behind Polartec - have started Komafram, a new company that's going to make Alpaca/Tencel blend baselayers. IDK anything about when they hit market, but it looks like it'll be awesome.

The fabric is great 17.5 micron stuff, but to my taste the design is too plain/close to a standard tee. I mean, that's what they're going for, but I'd take Ibex or Kuiu.

Kuiu seems like it's the best in a lot of ways. I haven't handled it, but it's made with this special Nuyarn process that increases strength, elasticity, and softness, and then blended with a little nylon. Weights are perfect - 125 gsm with vents, 145 and 210 with chest pockets.

Downside is it's a company targeted at hunters, so you have your choice of a handful of solid hunt-y colors (no black) and this weird camo scheme.

Ibex is like pic related, just slightly more interesting/athletic patterning.

AquaGuard isn't waterproof, but it's water repellant and I assume repellant enough for most folks. You also getting a significantly better cut than most shell jackets at that price.

If you demand more out of your outerwear, that's totally legit. But I think it's a bit captious to pretend that this isn't still a very useful jacket for a lot of people and to be dismissive of other people's needs and wants.

>> No.8924736

>>8924670
Before this gets out of hand, the zips are Aquaguard, YKK's line of traditional PU laminate water resistant zippers. Behind them are internal storm flaps, the fold of fabric you see behind the open zipper.

The new Aquaseal/Riri Aquazip zipper designs are better, but PU laminate zippers + storm flaps have been functional mainstays for years.

>how it compromises the performance in favour of an aesthetic.

1) So what?

Leaving aside that we're talking fashion and not survival, Isaora has never earnestly pretended to be the end-all most technical thing out there, and their roots are in boardsports, not alpinism. Past iterations of that garment have been named "Riding Jackets," and you can see in the design they're for snowboarders and skiers.

For it to present a performance problem, someone would have be on the slopes in ass-stupid weather, for a extended period, and the doubled-but-still-slight probability of a zip failure would have to happen.

2) It's not a purely aesthetic thing. I'm blanking like a motherfucker somehow, but I remember reading about that kind of dual zip design serving some purpose, not in Isaora copy. I've seen it on other non-Isaora, more outdoor brand jackets and even, I'm vaguely recollecting, some random military garments.

I think, maybe, something to do with avoiding the chin for some reason? It'd make sense with the off-center zip, but that also makes it redundant and might just be suggesting that to me as I'm trying to remember WTF is up with it.

>>8924760

Hardshells are usually not supposed to add any warmth, but they do block a lot of airflow, and some all of it.

(All Gore and I think all Dermizax (Toray) are 0 CFM, cubic feet/meter of airflow. Most other hardshells have a little, like 3 CFM or something like that.)

Which helps a *lot* with attenuating convective heat loss (=wind blowing the heat away from you), and means you can get away with lighter insulation, as long as/especially if you're producing some heat.

The flipside is that there's no magic membrane and any hardshell can get humid inside, so if it has and you stop moving you have to deal with evaporative heat loss.

I remember one afternoon in New York where the wind was so insanely gusty on the West Side it was legitimately hard to walk, the temperature was about 3 degrees C, and by total fluke I happened to be in a Gore shell and a standard cotton tshirt. The result of all that - the chill ambient temperature, the zero-airflow jacket, the cotton tee, trying to walk fast against the wind - was this weirdly pleasant superhumid microclimate inside, like a bathroom ten minutes after someone took a long hot shower. Just was kind of an aha moment for me about how hardshells work in terms of climate regulation, in a way actually using them for water protection never got me to.

As far as normal use in a winter area? I wouldn't put much emphasis on it. Especially in a place like Toronto, you're going to want and need a good insulated jacket, and a softshell is always going to be more versatile and useful when you're surrounded by cover.

All softshells will still cut a lot of the wind, and some of them will cut so much you won't really be able to tell a difference compared to a 0 CFM fabric except that it'll be a lot more breathable, even ones without membranes. Below 5 CFM is usually the point where wind becomes imperceptible, and e.g. membrane free Schoeller WB400 is typically 3 CFM. And softshells will usually add some insulation of their own.

>>8925131
>It's not techwear.

This bullshit derails every thread. Check Fuuka for why it's bullshit; I'm not wasting more time on it unless you want to mount an actual argument for why exotic fabrics, or whatever you think is lacking there, is necessary for something to count as "techwear."

Thanks for the info, it's really helpful. I just really really like the way hardshells feel and drape (or lack of it) but trying to see if I can wear it all year round to justify the price.

You're welcome. You can definitely wear (almost) any non-insulated hardshell year round except when it's too hot for any jacket.

If you like the feel and look of hardshells, you'll be fine with one in a city. I personally prefer softshells, and push them because they're not talked about enough and people get hung up on "gotta be waterproof!"

A hardshell on it's own won't work for -30C, but one with a good down jacket under it will.

It's the vapor barrier effect. Some hikers (Andrew Skurka) wear suits of nonbreathable clothing, which has the dual effects of completely eliminating evaporative heat loss and keeping your sweat from soaking your clothing, which can complicate long hiking trips. I can't imagine it ever being a thing for /fa/, but it's pretty cool how much warmth you can get without any actual insulation.

Hmm, thinking there might be two /fa/ applications. One just people in it for the sensory experience. Two people looking to minimize layering or bulk in the winter. A trim garment (jumpsuit, or you could split it) with a comfort liner and lots of sealed-flap vents that play with shape. Throw lightweight insulation over it as necessary - a boiled wool full zip hoody dress with a jacket sling. Sleek, simple, non-bulky clothes for the Polar Vortex. IDK; I'm just learning about this stuff and that might make no sense.

Carhartt, sure, great and iconic, but honestly Dickies provides a closer analogue to the Commuter Cargos, and really a better pant for the typical target aesthetic here. Stuff like

http://www.dickies.com/professions-clothing/professions-men/Industrial-Relaxed-Fit-Cargo-Pant-2112372.jsp

For the first one, an interesting project I want to get to at some point is copping a pair to tech-fuck. Grafting in a gusset out of cheap Power Dry seconds (http://www.millyardage.com/).). Adding knee articulation. Some kind of modification to the hem, a zip gusset or a bombacha style strap.

The second is actually a better pair of pants as is (better pockets, a gusset), and all you might want to do is taper it if you want a more typically /fa/ fit.

And if you want something more technical, every outdoor company makes hiking pants in flavors from cotton with zippers to softshells built for hard climbing.

Pic related, the Black Diamond Dawn Patrol LT. It's at the edge of your price range, but it's in Schoeller with Nanosphere and you won't find better pants.

Need your help guys. Looking for a mid-layer similar to pic related (it's just too casual because of the draw cord). My main criteria are

>stadium collar or whatever you call it, whatever they put on varsity jackets - I like how it looks; I'm looking for something different other than V, crew, mock neck, and shawl collar styles

>can't be as thick as, say, chunky knit sweaters, because I have to wear it under somewhat slim winter outerwear but preferably still block the cold/retain warmth (Canada)

>incognito looking so I can use it for work (casual business casual, like wearing a tucked in oxford shirt underneath) and play

I'm pretty flexible with the material, and water repellency doesn't matter too much. Either zip or button up works. Any suggestions are appreciated

There's certainly people like that - who try to find in clothes the toughness and capability they lack - but they're hardly the only people. If I was going to get pejorative on my own style, I'd call it a Mini Countryman: a bastard crossbreed of playful gocart car, utility truck, and unextravagent luxe born of the why-not manias of late capitalist marketing, but damn if hasn't won the last three Dakars.

I think it's useful to note what most of the cars I've actually owned have been, late '90s Civics. Cheap and ubiquitous on the used market, good when you need one fast; good gas mileage, indispensable for travel; rugged on-road and reliable, indispensable because I beat everything to shit. But what kept me coming back to them was the handling, by no means a sportscar, but very nimble and responsive as fuck. And that's what I look for in clothes, too: a satisfying fluidity, a sense that it's never in my way, a feeling of rightness when In put it on, wear it, reach in a pocket, undo a fastener, reach for something, whatever. So I wind up in these threads.

Really? How have you found backpacks more practical? As someone without a car, it'd be much easier to fit groceries, packages, etc. into a messenger bag than a back pack (especially when it's so difficult to find a large, nice looking backpack).

My only worry is that I'm not so sure I want to invest so much money in something I can only wear while riding my bike.

>>8937273
disagree completely, messenger can barely fit anything into it plus if you fill it up it clunks against your side, I find them insanely annoying to bike with. Also all that weight on one shoulder is mad uncomfortable. Backpacks evenly distribute the weight and don't feel like they're there when you're biking/walking- which is how it should be.

>> No.8937415

few months back someone posted a really nice looking military inspired jacket that had a shoulder pad on the right side(to press a rifle stock against) and a whole bunch of other tactical pockets and shit. It was olive drab, but they offered other colors.

I think you're thinking of shoulder bags... Proper messenger bags(Like timbuk2 and chrome) are basically large envelopes that hug you around your shoulder because of how the strap is sewed onto the bag(at an angle, so its really uncomfortable to carry it as shoulder/satchel/purse)

Basically, if its not at a 45 degree angle on your shoulder, you're not wearing it properly. If it is at the right angle, and high enough that its rest against your shoulder, it works pretty amazingly(and it would have to, otherwise actual messengers/couriers wouldnt be using it)

What? The opening on a messenger bag is along its length. Anything you can fit into a backpack you can fit into a messenger bag. Also on bike you should be leaned over, distributing the weight along your back.

Least/last thing I usually look for, myself. First I look for fluidity - of motion, of utility - and in the personal climate control department wicking is the most important thing.

It all depends on you.

Oh, and

>from the future

I personally dress for right now, but right now feels like/is a lot of the futures dreamed up.

You might be different, though. Like remember poet, and how his Lunarcore was about "forgotten futures" and "exhaustion?" (Fuuka it if you don't.) For me, I dress craving engagement, enthusiasm, connection, immersion.
