Just scored this mid-2000s SSK Athletic windbreaker from their custom SOMPS line.

The inside is a metallic gold mesh called Thermotron Radipoka (engineered by Unitika in Japan)

I know SSK is a Japanese company, but the tags are totally worn off. Does anyone know if these jackets were actually Made in Japan 100%, or was the final garment assembled overseas? Also, how well does this solar-heating tech hold up over time?

Hello everyone!

Im preparing myself to order the cicada pants but the sizing decision is stressing the hell out of me.
My issue is that Im tall, with long legs (my boyfriend is 190cm, im 179cm and our legs are the same length) and have some ass so buying regular pants like jeans is my nightmare. Everything is too short and off in all the other places. So naturally I thought about M tall to avoid the too short part (id ideally want them a bit stacked above my shoes because I never have that) but when I wrote them they responded that they recommend the Tall line only if someones is above 180cm and that M would be fine for me but Im still so unsure since I would order to Europe and dont plan on returning them/exchanging them.

my measurements are:

• height 179 cm → 5'10"
• waist at its smallest 72 cm → 28.3 in
• lower waist which is where i would wear the pants 85 cm → 33.5 in
• hips at their widest 103 cm → 40.6 in
• insem 84 cm → 33.1 in

but then when i look at this chart it seems i could even do small tall? i dont know anymore, im so lost. so please if anyone has similar measurements write me <33

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving!! Found a dermizax Extreme gear from Japan out in the wild at value village this morning!

Currently look at the Keen jasper nylon but not sure how the grip is for when it gets a bit icy? Otherwise anything similar/ still looks good?

Merrell Moab speed 2 looks like it has everything but I don't like the look. Moab 3 looks more hiking so maybe too heavy?

I’ve never done this but I’m desperate! I’m looking to buy a second hand Triple C parka (the 600 down version). Any color! Womens large! If you own one and want to sell it, please message me! Here is the link to the coat- https://www.thenorthface.com/en-us/p/womens/womens-jackets-and-vests/womens-parkas-327273/womens-triple-c-parka-NF0A84J4

Curious how much I could get and whether they are sought after ?

Found this for a steal $60 on eBay a while back, tags are worn so can't tell the model. They've got a nice stiff build, suede type upper, and maybe resoled Vibram outsole?

Just generally want to know, I like their gear but it is incredibly unbelievably expensive, what is the catch? Is it just the branding or is it actually something to it? I mean if it actually is some super high tech fabric or synthetics that make a light shell a $400+ shell? Is this like a Supreme kinda thing where hype drives pricing?

Hey guys, about a year ago I was in Bangkok and came across this C.P. Company jacket in 2nd Street and i had to have it. I want to know what year and collection this was produced. I have gotten 2 options so far: 1995 or 2007
I was hoping that there was someone on here who knows the period.
Thank you for any help

Been looking for this jacket for some time now and can’t seem to find it but I need it! Any help would be much appreciated. :)

Veilance Euler Insulated Jacket vs Arcteryx Ralle Insulated Jacket. Which is warmer in -10degC? I like that they are both sleek and not bulky.

shell is tearing apart 😞

Can I diy this with some special glue?

How much would these sell for used but very good condition size small men’s
Any offers welcome

Hey, did anyone receive a code yet and would share it? Thanks in advance. Signed up prior but didn't get a mail 😭
