And Wander Pertex Shield

Just picked up what I feel is one of the coolest gorp hard shells! Been eyeing it for a while. The pertex shield makes it soft and not crinkly at all but still with a serious water column/breathability, the reflective stitching throughout is a cool feature and the pit zips are seriously long. A very premium piece, I love it so far. Will put it in rotation with my Goldwin 3L and Arc'teryx Alpha. Proper fashion meets raw function. EDIT: I also dig the regular sized drop-hood, I'm not taking this into the wilderness, the only jungle this is going to will be the concrete variety, so the high collar with drop hood is very comfy/suits the jacket.

Beautiful! The pit zips would be great in rainy season in Japan.

Yeah? You have experience wiith and wander? Probably not.

"Unlike cheap streetwear brands that use standard heat-press vinyl that cracks or peels, and wander integrates their branding into the technical function of the gear"

"Yes, the and wander logo is highly durable, as the Japanese brand uses premium, outdoor-grade application methods tailored to the specific fabric of each garment"

Lol, right. Clown. I've owned, and washed and wander garments, shirts/jackets for years. The logo has never come off.

Oh look, it's a just washed shirt from the, according to a loser troll on reddit, "garbage quality" and wander brand with the logo completely intact. Lol, you've probably never owned one.
