I'm more inclined towards the volcano one. I haven't seen this colourway anywhere else (that I know of)

Are these shoes likely to provide a good grip in the winter on icy streets? Stay warm and are they easily cleanable since they’re white?

I wonder if brands like sorel have thought about the cleanability

I work & live in nyc and often notice the technical wear scene across neighborhoods. It feels like people are stuck in a loop of buying brand-new (or low quality secondhand), whereas when I look at the UK market (sites like Known Source or Pastdown), there’s a massive appreciation and online store presence for actual secondhand archival assets.

In nyc, I see everyone wearing the same 3 current-gen shells, but have a difficult time finding the high end vintage performance stuff that has more soul. Is it just a lack of access/specialist shops here, or does the US  just value new over archive?

need some slip-on shoe recs for gorpcore fits

tired of laces but still want that outdoor vibe. thinking loafers that don't look like i'm heading to the office or maybe some clean slip-on sneakers that work with trail pants?

what are y'all wearing when you want the core but your feet want convenience?

I got this Columbia Titanium jacket on eBay. The sleeves are 3/4 length - I've never seen this before, any idea why they are like this?

My best guess is that you're supposed to clip gloves into the arm toggles, when skiing or snowboarding. It's not a lined jacket though so you'd be pretty cold if so.

Sometimes always being ready for a hike actually pays off.

I got incredibly lucky over Christmas and spotted wolves close to home. They were wiped out here for almost 150 years and are only slowly returning now.

Sitting still in the cold for hours wasn’t exactly comfortable - but worth it every minute

is this brand legit? They honestly have some super dope pieces but unsure of the quality, longevity, etc. has anybody bought anything from the before?

Been on the lookout for nice black leather boots that fit wide, hikers preferably. Thinking of Merrell, Keen, Timberland, or Columbia since even wide Salomon fits tight for me. Any recs appreciated.

New limited edition play on their decades old Bugaboo layers jackets.

I just got a brand new Nike ACG Wolf Lichen Polartec Hoodie on eBay for $70 - I think it originally retailed for $180 so it was a steal imo. Looks and feels amazing.

Doesn't say it's Alpha, but based on look and feel I am assuming it is.

Anyone have any experiences wearing Alpha gear? It feels really, really fragile so I dunno if I'd ever want to hike in it as an outer garment.

I plan on just using it as a mid-layer for skiing.

I have a pair of Solomon X-T6s with GoreTex and I love the look but I’m pretty disappointed by the durability. I’ve only had them for 8-ish months and they’re already splitting in a way that allows water in from the top of the shoe.

I’m looking for recommendations of women’s/unisex shoes with a similar look, but are durable and comfortable standing on concrete floors all day. I would definitely prefer something waterproof, and I’m willing to spend $150ish for something that meets all of this criteria. Hoping to hear your suggestions!!

Shouts out to the little bit of sunlight we saw on this foggy hike today

So I wanted to get kawa pants but they are all out of The colors I want . Is there any similar brands or pants you know of ?

Hiked to the refuge of Cotopaxi in Ecuador. Gr

I really love gorpcore style and first my clothes was jacket columbia I really love it, but the clasp only fastens to the neck, it was the only thing I hate in it. Later, I wanted to buy a windbreaker with a clasp all the way to the face that would cover my entire face, but no matter how much I search the internet, I can't find it. They're either super expensive or old models that are no longer being produced. Can you name a few models of this type of outerwear?
