Honestly if you get a chance to pick up a lightweight Race to zero puffer with the Japanese stitching and the side zips, get one. Got the purple, khaki and black and they are perfect for lightweight wind protector, running, packable or down the pub. 👌🏼👌🏼
Also any or the Mineral or Volcanic sweatpants/tracksuits. The ones made in Portugal. So comfy and well made 👌🏼👌🏼
Not worn out in the wild yet.... But I got them as they just look different and have a quality feel about them.
The stitching is the main actor in all of this and it stands out massively. It's just a different kind of piece. I love the grey/black with a white or black tshirt to keep it simple which is why it's in S.
The blue jacket is in a medium as I wanted it more over a jumper etc
They feel solid, heavy and substantial quality to them both. Being half Chinese I love an oriental bias which is why I love the stitching on the race to zero jackets as well.
Japanese styles jacket made in china
is what it is.
Bloody love this. Simple as that.
Lightweight, looks worn, vintage even and everything just works. Jeans and shorts no issues. Can wear with a tshirt or even a thin jumper underneath.
Packable and the feel of the material is very soft. No scratchy felling on the arms with a tshirt. Can see why Nick etc lives in his khaki one.
Pockets are robust. I like the ones on the back. Subtle enough to be used or left alone. I wasn’t a fan of the back pockets on the off grid jacket so took them off.
This jacket is a 10/10 winner
Mentioned before but this is great coat.
Comes down to the knees or just below so decent coverage. The nylon makes it very stretchy, very soft (weirdly) but very comfortable as it just moulds to you like a shell.
Very light, packable and doesn’t really crease at all, just like it says on the website.
Wind and water resistant. Made out of lightweight, high-strength Cordura which is abrasion safe 🤷🏻♂️
Have to say it’s held up well. I use it a lot for commuting and it’s a smart jacket in many ways so decent for work travel.
You can see from the zip, seams etc that it’s all hidden, so it quite an understated piece really. I like it.
The algae bomber and the sashiko jacket are amazing. For work the long nylon coat is light, robust and fully waterproof. Quality pieces
