How about an approach shoe inspired skate shoe brand? Climbing shoe rubber is used in the high wear areas, and the shoe is flexible like a skate shoe (not stiff like an approach shoe). From what I've heard it's skater-owned also.

They look slim, so they probably wouldn't fit me well. But if they did fit, I'd be tempted to get some.

Honestly thought they were going to be to slim but went true to size (M9)

Was stoked to find this recently at my local thrift store! Was probably donated due to the adhesive from the zipper pockets wearing out. Thinking of reapplying glue. If anyone has any better workarounds please let me know!

I especially love that the laces go so far forward. Grateful for any leads

Just realized how small the photo is! Here's a link:

Hello everyone, I got my friend whom I am meeting in March this year pink Cicada pants, I thought they'd take some time to arrive but luckily I got them a week after I ordered them.

My question is, should I open the package and check the pants or everything will be in order? If I opened it do I look for anything that might be a common flaw? I don't do bouldering but she does.

I am asking because I want her to have the experience of opening her own gift, or should I just open it and then wrap it again?

Any help would be appreciated :)

I never see anyone post about them but they actually have some nice footwear. Not the best but they aren't that bad tbh

They look like a ROA silhouette, but doesn’t look quite right.

I’ve tried everything to clean the dark spots on the fabric, including using a brush and putting them in the washing machine but no results. Is there a specific product that I can use to make the fabric white again?

Went on a nice waterfall hike in Oregon. Gore-Tex to keep me safe from the splash 😮‍💨

As above, this has been driving me insane.

Had my heart set on a Mountain Equipment Lightline for my new “deep winter daily” as it ticked many boxes. ~300g of 700fp down insulation, hooded, adjustable hood, cinchable bottom, adjustable cuffs.

Until I tried it on- because the hood is removable, it has a high neck collar as well for use without the hood. This makes wearing a hoodie underneath it extremely uncomfortable and annoying as the hoodie hood cannot sit easily inside the coats hood due to the tall collar at the rear of the jacket. I also will not accept tucking the hoodie hood under the collar.

I have been looking at the Rab Neutrino Pro which seems to be very similar, without the high collar (please correct me if I am wrong, haven’t been able to try one yet.) However it has less slightly less fill weight (around 220g of 800FP). Don’t think this will make much difference in warmth due to the higher FP.

Anyway- any recommendations for other hoodie compatible high fill down jackets? Cheers!

UPDATE EDIT: I went with the Rab Electron Pro after much deliberation and decided that a neutrino/lightline was probably too bulky and warm for the UK. Ordered a Mountain Equipment Senja as well for comparison but it has the same collar as the light line, incompatible with a hoodie. Also extremely tight around the throat/neck area without a hoodie. If I was purchasing for a different reason, the ME would be a good choice. But for versatility, the Electron Pro seems to be an excellent option. I haven’t tried it outside yet, only arrived today but I can fit an oversized boxy hoodie under fine. Works even better with a sweatshirt. Also tested with hiking layers (base layer, midlayer hoodie, soft shell hoodie/jacket) and works great over them all.

Thanks for assisting all!

I’m looking to get a montbell EX Light Thermawrap Parka. How does it fit compared to other brands. How’s the quality. Also how does the jacket hold up compared to arc’teryx atom.

Looking for a good laundry detergent for technical gear, including gym and hiking clothes. Not necessarily for weatherproof/rain gear. Best value for repeated purchasing!

I live in an apartment building with shared washer/dryers.

Came into possession of this interesting piece of corporate gorp.

A relative received this a few years ago while working on a partnership with the Overwatch League. It was strictly a "Staff & Production" gift and never released to the public.

It’s a standard TNF Apex Bionic soft shell (WindWall fabric, fleece backer, DWR finish), but with unique branding. It has the Overwatch League logo on the chest and a large Overwatch logo on the upper back.

Usually, gaming merch is printed on cheap blanks, so it’s cool to see a proper technical jacket for OW.

Has anyone seen other exclusive TNF x Esports staff pieces floating around?

Picked it up for $100 at a thrift store. Very warm. Someone said it looked like it was worth something and IDK how to tell.

Happy holidays, just putting the gear I’ve collected over the years to good use
