Try this shit here, it's the best stain remover I've ever used. It's for carpets but I use it on jackets and furniture, zaps that stain right out. If it doesn't come out with this you might as well just get some spray paint haha.

I bought the Grullin "not-Alyx" belt a while ago, one of the few belts that have measurements accurate to what the seller states on the site. Quality is pretty nice, been wearing it since June.

I actually have 2 pairs of these same pants, but I ordered from amazon.

The fit is comfortable, they are good quality and definitely worth the price.

I think you should just get them if you like the way they look.

Thanks! Yeah it took me awhile to find these buckles. They go by the name "Spanish Quick-Release Buckle" and are sought after because of Acronym using them in their bags so its kind of hard to come across them unless you're a company manufacturing bags, but I managed to snag a few from amazon The Dual pouch I got from Ebay I spray-painted the pouches black to go with my bag but I liked the contrasting olive drab color of the buckle so I taped those off and kept them as is.

Looks like amazon has some of the NMD CS1 GTX in stock again but with this announcement I may just have to hold off that triple black cw is so nice https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0775QT2G3/ref=pe_57020_295321950_em_slvf_th?pldnSite=1&th=1&psc=1

Have an Arcteryx short sleeve button up shirt that was $75-ish but I’d say is “worth it” because of the unusual pattern(hidden double chest pockets.) Haven’t tried a Skyline but they look great in ‘fit pics.

Received this piece a few days ago and really like the fit. It's described as "regular" fit while the shirt linked above is "trim." Not sure how much slimmer that is. I think the poly/wool blend is interesting. Worst case I can buy/return from Amazon.

EDIT: Manufacturer website lists the A2B short sleeve as a poly/cotton/elastane blend. Less interesting.

These ones sir

It look like a m-65 styled jacket to me. A similar one I found came from Rothco vintage m-65 jacket which you can find here that's about similarish.

You can find other m-65 styled jacket on used marketplaces as well.

It's just some logos on the buckle like "fairwin tactical" here or on the strap like "CLOUDBURST" here that I have a problem with

Here's a whole pack! I think it was just hard to find because I couldn't translate it well, but that's because I'm American from NYC lol.

The threader tool is different in USA, but I hear you can use a straw and a stapler too.

Please answer in the form of a question

Answer is, "What is Blackpink?"

I've been into the DSTIKE lately. It's extremely useful if (and only if) you want to be able to deauth users from a wifi network. They also look super cool in my opinion.

Why shouldn't I get a bag like this instead of Orbit Gear/Aoku/Osprey etc? Does anyone have similar backpacks from Amazon? Are they good?

https://www.amazon.com/LHI-Military-Tactical-Backpack-Reflector/dp/B07X6LNBXG

I like reflective laces. I've got two pairs of VASGO(from Amazon US) in two different pairs of Keens (Atlanta Shitake with orange lances and Venture Mid "steel gray" with black) and I'm pretty happy with them. In my gym shoes I have reflective bungee laces by Nathan. Not sure about the durability of those yet.

You could buy something like this on amazon, if you're just getting started. For example: Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/MOZETO-Tactical-Military-Quick-Release-Heavy-Duty/dp/B07W9L1ZX4/ref=sr_1_34?crid=1NINBHU91OYGV&dchild=1&keywords=cobra+belt&qid=1610316287&sprefix=kitchenaid+siphon+%2Caps%2C157&sr=8-34

thank you! I'll have to look around for a store that could do this because I have no idea.

Also, while looking this up, I found that you can buy seam sealing tape, is this something that I could do myself, or should I look for a professional to do it?

Hello,

Does anybody have any experience with the Arc'teryx A2B SS shirt? How does it fit, how does it wear?

[Amazon]

I bought this from Amazon, pretty decent quality and nice stretchy band with a clasp as well. I feel like it should be a staple in everyone's wardrobe.

they’re just reselling this one lmaoooo

I was about to buy it and then Amazon showed me the exact same one

From this weekend, pretty lowkey but I figured it would be nice to post a look that was a bit more budget-oriented than a lot of the full ACG posts we've seen lately.

Herschel GTX Hat - I bought this almost two years ago and it's still going strong. Recently restocked here

Helikon-tex Windrunner - A pretty sweet windbreaker, nice color and very light. DWR too, but I wouldn't wear this if it was raining. Available on amazon

Reigning Champ Sea to Sky Nylon Pants - The most expensive item here, snagged for 80 bucks from sneakersnstuff, but usually go for around 100-120 USD on sale. Very nice for the price, will do a full review in the next few weeks hopefully.

White vans - Nothing technical, but comfortable on my sasquatch feet

Does it look like this one? It seems to be the closest I can find. The glacier blue looks like more of a grey on the Amazon picture than blue to me.

w2c lightweight/high quality vest that looks like this one (has terrible reviews on Amazon). I like the collar, chest/shoulder detail, and the amount of pockets. I have a muscular build and broad shoulders so no slim fit.

here they are

There’s a few versions on the amazon page for some reason so just looked for Black/Grey.

Only used once, mainly because of COVID. Don't think I'll end up using it as I'm trying to switch to mainly dyneema goods and want something a bit smaller.

Also bought a pack of these molle attachments: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07P77FX74, so I'll include like half of the set since I don't really need that many of these attachments.

I think the Outdoor Research Men's Ferrosi Shirt Jacket is exactly what you're looking for. Outdoor Research is out of stock on their site, but you can find it elsewhere including Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Outdoor-Research-Ferrosi-Shirt-Jacket/dp/B07D5WSYGV?th=1. If you can find older seasons, they had an extra pocket on the small of the back, but you'll have to dig for it. It has a neat collar feature where you can slip one collar point inside the other and there's a snap button inside to secure them. This helps if you need that extra bit of warmth.

For shoes, I'd check out Salomon's trail offerings. Huge lugs, but quite soft so they're not great on concrete (you'll wear them down to nothing in a month if you use them in the city). I know from personal experience.

If you want something more rugged and robust, I'm the world's biggest Ecco Exostrike fan (needs citation), and they're having a labor day sale 40% off sale items. Last I checked you could get Exostrikes in dove (stoney/biege color) for ~$100 which is 1/3 of what they normally run. These are awesome boots, I have 4 pairs. Incredibly comfy, grippy, and they also come in dyneema leather for even greater weather protection. Make sure you pay attention to their shoesize measurements as I found they run a bit big. I'm a 10.5 US and wear a 44eu in Salomon, but every Ecco shoe I've tried I've been a 43eu.

For now here is what I have, Nikecourt borough mid winter for shoes, normal long black socks, Uniden/riot divison/amazon cargo pants with straps, riot divison samourai belt (magnetic), struggling with shirts but for now long black/grey shirts and some hoodies from riot division (I am looking for cyberpunk like graphics/japanese/futuristic hoodies and jacket so if you know some, tell me pls). Since its summer, I wont start buying winter jackets but later on yes. If you got any sugestion or if I can do some thing better, feel free to tell me. Also I like graphic stuff (japanese/chinese letters, cyberpunk/futuristic art) so if you got some brands in mind that has graphics like that, pls tell me, sorry if my english is bad I am french XD. Is techwear now a good site? This is cheap but I like the design : https://www.amazon.ca/AITFINEISM-WEIPENG-Fashion-Lightweight-Windbreaker/dp/B073H5KTD2/ref=sr_1_28?dchild=1&keywords=techwear+pants&qid=1594664126&sr=8-28&th=1&psc=1

I'm 6'4" with a 36-38 waist

They're probably not exactly what you're looking for but I got a pair of these on amazon and while they look like a more traditional cargo pant they're very similar material and design to joggers (stretchy, no zip, pull ups, tighter ankles)

Amazon I find to be an "okay" place if you're really trying to test something out and don't want to spend a lot. Can be very hit or miss though.

Condor sidekick pouch is a great molle pouch. It has a kinda 3/4 zip front which is held by adjustable strings, so it sorta folds out into a little tray.

Arc'teryx Phase SL Crew SS tees are infinitely better than airism. Unlike Veilance, you can get a lot of just-Arcteryx stuff off Amazon.

https://www.amazon.com/Arcteryx-Phase-Crew-Black-Small/dp/B01JAGKJAU/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=PHASE+SL+CREW+SS&qid=1561924459&s=gateway&sr=8-1

Hey, I'm looking for my first tech pant as a beginner in techwear (only have a jacket and a pair of airmax who can do the job for now). But I dont really know where i can search a nice pant who dont have 19 straps and zips and below 80€.
I found this and I think the shape is pretty cool but both are in cotton... Is it a problem ? I dont really know what is cotton fabric.

Here and here

Sorry for my terrible english u.u

I gotchu man, this is the first time i purchased any sort of pants like these but I'm normally a 28-29 waist in jeans. I got these in medium and I would say they fit perfectly around the waist, and the straps around the legs allow for an adjustable fit so its really nice. Can't complain at all for the price. Shipping took a few weeks though.

Potentially the milspec CamelBak HAWG with the compression straps pulled tight, or depending on the size of the laptop, the milspec CamelBak MULE? In both cases the hydration pouch can be removed and they can be used as regular backpacks.

Keep in mind there are non military versions of both of these backpacks, so be careful if buying that you don't get the wrong one.

Hello,

I'm looking for other messenger/crossbody bag similar to the 5.11 Covert Box Messenger. CCW compartment and clean aesthetics are preferred. Any suggestions?

EDIT: Apologies if this is more of a Simple Questions type of comment.

I disagree. For instance this jacket:

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01G8L9HRG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1&psc=1

is my favorite budget techwear jacket (I copped it for $70) and it has a very tech feel yet it is also subtle. It is subtle enough that I can wear it with anything else in my wardrobe should it rain. Yes, if everything you buy has 50 straps on it you can't mix it with streetwear, but then again, why do you need to buy stuff with 50 straps? Techwear isn't about slapping as many straps as possible onto your jackets and pants, it's about fit, function, silhouette, and attitude.

Link to pants (needs tapering)

Link to pants, the fit comes a bit weird so they need to be tapered.

Looking for a lighter waterproof sneaker, anybody have an experience with Saloman shoes?
