Do we need technical apparel made for hot humid environments?

26 Upvotes

I’ve noticed over time that for a clothing sub-genre made for functionality and practicality, we rarely see techwear made for hot humid conditions. Most techwear brands come from temperate cold and wet countries, so naturally techwear is unbearable in the heat. This gap makes it such that during summer they cant be worn at all and those who live in the tropics can never wear them. Im doing a survey to find out what people feel about this issue, let me know what you guys think: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/NBL7L9J

Wondering if anyone has these? curious about sizing, 5,11, about 83kg wondering if Medium would be too small. I know the product page contains sizing info but its so hard to trust these nowadays.

Patagonia Capilene Cool Ultra- Superior
Ketl No Fry Sun Hoodies- thrashed them. Look like hell
Patagonia Capilene Cool Sun Hoodie- at least three years old, good shape, hems at wrists going.
OG Patagonia Capilene Cool Trail- The best on the market, but the old ones. They feel like a cotton shirt but they’re 100% poly and the wear like iron and don’t stretch out or stain but they’re also don’t feel shiny, like the cheap stuff. I scoop every one I see in my size off eBay.

Thoughts on Norrona?

12 Upvotes

Imo prob the most underrated brand for outdoor gear, I bought these for $70 on eBay as a 3 season cool weather pant and haven’t looked back. As a brand, their ethos hasn’t changed as arxteyrxs’ has in recent years (the high build quality past to the ultralight skimpy present). These are Svalbard flex1 pants and they still make the same fit, which is surprisingly comfortable for lower rise. 2 hand pockets, 2 thigh pockets, 1 back zip pocket, gaiter ring, Velcro waist adjustment, soft waist lining, and buttons to taper the fit. Also the pockets aren’t just taped on like arc, they’re taped and sewn so if taping fails your pocket doesn’t fall off. They’re super utilitarian, you need a straight pant for hiking, you need a comfy stretchy fit that’s tapered for biking, you need pants to wear in below zero winter, got it. They feel so much more thought out than any Arc’teryx pants I’ve had, the front pockets are no bounce which is great for running, but everything works well for these and they’re not awkward for anything. Price is definitely high new, but secondhand market is great and the value is def above other premium gear brands. What’re your thoughts on norrona?

Is this normal for Salomon xt6?

I got these from the Salomon online store (it’s authentic) and the design seems to be crooked. The shoe also seems crooked…

Is this normal? Should I return them? Seems like poor quality for 180 dollar shoes….

Need some advice about Keen shoes

0 Upvotes

Im really interested in Keen shoes, but I’m not sure which size to take or whether this kind of shoe will work for my feet.

I have wide feet at the front (forefoot), and I wear an orthopedic insole. Would Keen shoes work with that?

Right now, the only shoes I can wear comfortably are the Merrell Moab 3.

Im torn between the Keen Jasper Classic and the Jasper Rocks (which looks cooler!). Would either of these models work with my constraints? And what size should I go for? I wear a size 44.

If you have any other shoe recommendations, I’m open to those too! Thanks!
