are you too poor for arcteryx?

No, I'm just too fat for Arc'teryx.

Is Arcteryx the new North Face?

>>32248694
I have a single hoodie from then. And it's not even a cool one with a bicep pocket.

>>32248819
it's basically yuppie-core, only marginally better than North Face or Patagonia at 10x the price

>>32248819
Nah, northface and patagonia are still top shelf, but arcterex is catering to the mall ninja crowd by offering similar designs in subdued colors and more pockets and velcro.

OP is too poor for Balmain operating gear

>>32248694
No, I'm not mallninja enough for Arcteryx

>>32248889
Arc'teryx is basically a slightly better Patagonia now with natural toned colors.

Kek, special forces don't use north face tho

>>32249311

Thats because special forces make special forces pay and can afford expensive shit

>>32248694

they used to be super good gear but now it isn't made as well.

>>32248694
The people I see wearing arcteryx are usually hiking a jogging path in the metro parks before getting back into their pristine subaru that has never seen a lick of mud or a dirt road. Then they're probably on their way to starbucks in their outdoor arcteryx gear just to show it off.

What softshell is that?

>>32249494
>softshell

>>32248694

No. I just wear milsurp and whatever I find comfortable. Works for me.

No, I've just been an outdoorsman and winter sports enthusiast for more than 30 years, so I know that Mammut and a dozen other brands that are less than half the price of Ar'xc't'r'e'x garbage are of much higher quality and utility.

>>32248694
For what?

>>32248714
>Fat and poor

Sums up /k/ nicely.

Arc'Teryx particularly LEAF stuff is catered to SOF and such who get clothing allowances and don't give a fuck about blowing 800$ on a jacket, because it's the governments money

>>32248694
I got a really nice jacket by them for a good price ($120 down from about $600). Honestly, I have a trouble wearing it anywhere that's not just going around town because I don't want to get it dirty/ruin it.

>>32249554
Hardshell whatever, is it from the leaf line.

>you will never be an insane third-world dictator taxing your subjects into poverty so you can afford Balmain uniforms for your palace guards

>>32248694
I mean I could afford it if I didn't eat. And, I like to eat because I'm pretty fat too.

>>32249907
its the Naga hoody.
its just a fleece pullover.

>>32249673
I'm not poor though, considering I just sold 2 houses. I'm just fat.

>>32248694
operator clothing is for operators or faggots

If you're not the former, you're the latter
