This just arrived a few minutes ago. The sweater is beautiful and an awesome piece.

Techfags once again showing that they just like the look of 'techwear' over anything else.

>tbh I just like nikes and leggings
Yeah dude, super 'tech', you're ready to be shot off into the Amazon forest with those siqq nikes.

So with jackets like this, what do you put on the Velcro parts? I've got a TAD fleece that I have no idea what to put on the shoulder Velcro.

>>8997906
Could someone link a site where I could get these/similar? Thanks

Shoes are probably not in season.

Denim is likely waxed skinny jeans with long inseam, 33 or 34 inches.

These are by far my favorite tech pants. Mucho better than Outlier (or I would've copped them instead).

>>8998022
Buddy you have no idea what you're talking about. The material that jacket is made of is just as waterproof as any high-end shell you'll find. Stop whining about shit you don't know about and shut your mouth so you don't look like a fucking idiot.

Don't know if he's autist or trolling, but either don't acknowledge the autist / feed the troll.

Are shoulder bags actually tech? I can understand the appeal of the aesthetic but im fairly sure a normal backpack would be better for posture and utility

>>8998394
I never understood them either. Backpacks are more comfortable, store more items and you can actually be active while wearing them.
>>8998366
This looks pretty cool aside from the Roshe Runs.

>>8998349
I can't see this as techwear aside from the shoes. It's too dramatic and doesn't look functional. Aside from that I think the silhouette looks terrible as well.

I would only use one if it was specifically designed for the jacket. There are too many sweet backpacks out there. Otherwise it comes off as try hard and backpacks actually offer decent volume.

Don't have to take off bag to access stuff or put jackets on/off

>>8998492
When you are wearing a "techwear" jacket with 20 pockets on the front alone, I don't think that is a useful enough function to justify the failings of the bag in nearly every other aspect.

>>8998497

Rickshaw Bagworks makes straps that are adjustable in length and have a detachable additional strap for making it more secure when you ride a bike or move around.

>>8998394
Messenger backs/courier bags are far better for utility.

>>8998366
w2c pants

>>8998533
What about a large fanny pack then? You can wear them across your back, chest or around your waist. They seem a lot more versatile than a messenger bag if for some reason you don't want a backpack.

>>8997893
way too top heavy, proportions are fucked

>>8998497

If you wear a messanger bag properly withn it basically up against your sholder as appoosed to hanging on the sides it bears load in a simmilar manner to backpack.

Besides there is shit that you can't fit in pockets

>>8998582
true, but what do you need to gain access to with the bag still on that is so big you can't put it in a pocket?
a camera maybe? but many people just use their phones these days to take pics so...

Thanks for the replies/input

You mentioned the additional straps, i've seen them a fair bit in other brands, aside from rickshaw bagworks, bagjack and mission workshop come to mind. Has anyone ever used these before? I walk quite a bit more than I use my bike but I also enjoy the quick access, anyone ever used one before? How is the load on your shoulder after wearing it awhile?

Also considering getting the hydration pack from mission workshop but I'm not sure how big they are, and I would hardly use the hydration pack anyway, I just like the appearance. Should I just cop a normal backpack/messenger instead?

>>8998596

Laptops, papers, dead tree books, etc.

>>8998627
by the second use of hydration pack i mean the actual water storage sack

>>8998596

Jacket, middle layers, camera, books, parcels to deliver, tablets, laptops etc

>>8998633
While you're moving? Don't think so. Laptops/books/etc you'd want to stop and it takes about 3 seconds to unsling a backpack from one shoulder and access your item for use.

>>8998645

What if ur in a crowded subway and hav no space to take a backpack off. Checkmate backpack plebs

>>8998627
I've had a Commuter 2.0 from Rickshaw for about 2 years, and my best friend has a bag from Mission. I don't personally have the cross strap because I haven't found it necessary.

>>8997947
how? hasnt the sweater been sold out for like ever?
