Finally found a solid Arc’teryx shell rep after multiple bad batches

Tried a few Beta batches before and honestly most of them had the same issues: uneven seams, messy taping and waterproofing that barely worked.

This one was the first batch that actually impressed me when I got it in hand.

The stitching is really clean, seam taping looks well done and the material feels noticeably thicker compared to previous batches I owned.

Already tested it in rain and the waterproofing performed much better than I expected.

I’ll attach close-up seam pics and QC photos below because the construction quality genuinely surprised me.

W2C if needed.

Functional Garment Archive

Hej Peeps

I don't like how shopping for outdoor gear works right now. So want to build a repository that makes comparison shopping easier.

To start, let's focus on Hardshells.

I don't want to look through Trailspace, Outdoorgearlab and every manufacturer's website to figure out which garments have the right hood shape (for beanies, helmet or going commando), are breathable enough, light enough, have their pockets arranged compatible to a harness (or not), can be packed easily, etc.

So I want to make a website where they are all listed with all their specs. Where you can filter for exactly what you want. See the products, in high quality. And be directed immediately to a place where you can buy them.

Now I am posting this to see if there's even demand for this and for suggestions what features you guys care about!

I think I don't need to ask for critique, but am very open to it!

Doing this before it was cool

Oh it was cool. Old Norvan SL, recently got 2nd life after fixing the zipper. It’s 10+yo, and I love this jacket

Are Salomon's really worth it? Thoughts on Asics?

I'm DESPERATE for a new pair of 'every day' shoes. Something I can wear to work (not an office job but always on my feet) but also camping, hiking, gym, etc. I've had my eye on the Salomon XT-6's for a few months now but I keep second guessing myself as they are $300 AUD. Besides comfort, my only other criteria is something I could wear with jeans or jorts if needed - so ideally no runners. Has anyone tried the any of the Asics Gel shoes? Eg. Gel-resolution 5's or Gel-Venture? I'm Australian if that makes a difference. Thank you in advance!!

Hiking Pants Material

I'm looking to make myself a pair of hiking pants to try to match the aesthetic of the Kawa Club Cicada pants at a slightly lower price point. I have found a website with pretty well priced Ripstop Nylon (https://www.kingtextiles.ca/products/ripstop-nylon-navy?variant=47670566453544) and was wondering whether this would be the correct material to use or if I should look for something else? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Gorpy Pants for tall guy?

Hello guys, i have a problem. I‘ve been getting into gorp lately, but I am really struggling to find some nice pants. The problem is, that I’m 6‘9 / 206cm, about 95kg. Most pants are just too short, and the pants that barely fit don’t look good.

Is there anyone out there, who might have the same problem and / or has some experience with brands / pieces that might work? Any help is great! Btw I‘m from Europe, so European brands would be nice. Thanks :)

Rate my fit

Actually getting ready to go climb some mountains soon, but I’ve always been into fashion. So this fit is actually both fashionable and actual alpine gear.
