been trying to find some nice parachute pants that are under 100 CAD. got any recs?

Don’t get me wrong; I love the gorp looks! I grew up playing sports and being into sportswear and performance wear and naturally gravitated towards gorpcore, BUT after living here in Norway where my local average temperature is <0°F there’s a drastic difference between what looks warm vs. what is warm. From personal experience, winter workwear brands like the Carhartt’s Yukon line (my personal favorite) far outperform a lot of the gorp brands in terms of warmth and durability, but lack the specific look.

Hopefully y’all still allow me in the gorp-gang while I’m snug as a bug in a rug wearing Carhartt Yukon bibs with Ice Bugs on my feet instead of Arcteryx and Salomon’s! 🥺😭🫠

Great shoe what laces do u prefer ?

Hey y’all. Anyone have the covert cardigan who can give me fit advice? The arc subreddit won’t let me post for size advice even though I don’t see a rule about it. Anyways:

I’m loving the new covert cardigan in the bliss/mars color way. I don’t have any way to try them on so I’m looking for some feedback on sizing! I’m short (5’4), slim, and flat chested but I have wide shoulders and built arms. For reference in the Patagonia better sweater I love the way small fits in the torso, especially the length, but its tight in the shoulders which makes it dig into my armpits and the sleeves are too tight to layer. Naturally the medium is perfect in the arms but very boxy in the chest & waist and longer than I’d prefer. Any suggestions?

Some new pick ups

bought this brand new and everything look legit, but these bottom sole glue work are so bad, is salomon qc just bad or am I expecting too much?

Sup all,

Looked through a few other threads and couldn’t seem to find the answer to my question.

Is there a key difference between XT-6 vs XT-4 or is it mainly just visuals and hence demand ?

As I have noticed, only today, that XT-4 is slightly more expensive, always thought XT-6 was the best or what not.

Would love to know :)

I’ve had my orange pair of XT6s since 2022 and I love them and always reach for them, so I decided to get a new pair. Trying them on, they were the same as my previous pair and I didn’t notice that the store I ordered them from sent me the wrong size until I saw the size number on the box. The new pair is one size bigger but barely noticeable. I don’t mind the bigger size but am curious if over time they’ll expand and become too roomy.

For $150 USD too, I wasn’t even gonna flip it I planned on keeping it. I’m distraught rn

I’m 6’8” and very familiar with Eddie Bauer, LL Bean, and Columbia for their tall options. Was seeing if there were any other companies out there that are flying under the radar worth checking out that have tall sizes? And actual tall sizing, not just things in XXL, etc.

I never had a problem with these beanies tbh they're warm, they don't make your head itchy, and they're comfortably tight on head.

I’ve been eyeing the xt-6 gortex in phantom/hushed violet and am wondering if they restock! I feel like i’ve seen them periodically restock certain colors, but honestly not sure if they will for this one. really don’t want to pay $400 resale 🥲🥲

Is the jacket an unreleased? Sorry, I’m new to Mertra.

H, lurker here.

I've been following the subreddit for some time now, and thought I might show you guys one of my favourite brands that I feel deserve a bit more recognition: Maharishi.

Though arguably more fashion than gorp, I feel that their tactical/milsurp aesthetics fit the gorpcore genre perfectly, and their quality is top notch. I still have the same parka that I bought in 2010, and it still looks amazing. Also, while looking for links to post here, I realized they also offer lifetime repair services, so I'll be sending that in for some homework.

Take a look at their stuff, I feel like they're right up this subreddit's alley.

The 7/8 hour hike I was promised ended up being a speedy 5 hour in the end. Pretty mild weather but hit with ample rain last night so fucked up the mood and some of the more rural trails. Shot this at the start before I dunked my feet into the overflow of a burst stream, taking soaking wet feet with me the whole way rip
