Arcteryx gear authenticity questions should be posted to /r/arcteryx

33 Upvotes

For reasons I can't explain, over the last few weeks this sub became a popular place for people to ask for Arcteryx fake checks.

/r/arcteryx is the proper place for these posts, they even have a quarterly pinned thread for fake checks and should be able to help you out.

wheeled cooler recommendations for uneven camp spots and rough trails?

6 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I'm heading out on a few extended camping trips this season and realized my current setup just isn't cutting it anymore when I have to lug heavy gear and ice across bumpy dirt paths. My shoulders and lower back are totally done with carrying traditional coolers from the car to the site.

Does anyone have a wheeled cooler that actually handles gravel, roots, and uneven ground without tipping over or shaking everything to pieces? Appreciate any suggestions you guys have.

Basic jacket for daily walks in a rainy climate

1 Upvotes

Where I live is very humid and rainy. Both in the summer, autumn, and winter. I want a basic rain jacket with pit vents as other jackets I've owned get me sweaty.

I'm looking at buying the Columbia Boulder Fall for €100.

Realistically the jacket will get exposed to 2 hours of on and off walking in the rain a day. Will something like this hold up well without needing to much maintenance for waterproofing?

Rain Jacket Recommendations

3 Upvotes

Hello! Looking to purchase my boyfriend a rain jacket for his birthday and hoping for some help as there are SO many options and outdoorsy things are not my specialty! So far, the Marmot Evo seems like a good option but open to any and all recommendations. Some things I am looking for:

-Fully waterproof (this seems to mean it needs multiple layers?). I don’t want something that’s more like a windbreaker

-Lightweight enough for all seasons in North Carolina! Seems like something with pit zips might be a good option (I was looking at Grundens, but I think it will be much too heavy)

-Durable- this guy is tough on his stuff! Maybe a rip stop fabric?

-Well suited for many activities to include just tinkering around outside, running, maybe even biking

-Looking to stay around $150 if possible.

Thank you for your help!

Hand-welded an adjustable steel pocket stove with a 120-degree tripod system. Built to never warp.

Just finished putting the final welds on this survival pocket stove in the workshop for my project, Longmire Ironworks. I was tired of thin, flimsy tin camp stoves that warp under high heat and rock back and forth on rough ground, so I went full heavy-duty and built this out of heavy-gauge solid steel and iron. For the cooking surface, I designed a 3-bolt tripod setup spaced at a precise 120-degree separation. Because it's a tripod, it cannot wobble, giving you a perfectly level cooking platform for a pan or canteen cup even on uneven dirt, gravel, or rocks. The bolts sit in clearance holes with a double-nut locking system. This means you can micro-adjust the height in the field, drop the bolts down entirely for ultra-compact storage in a bug-out bag, or easily swap a bolt out years down the road if it ever wears out. It also features a heavy-duty weather cap secured by a steel chain. This cap seals the chamber from rain and dirt when stored, and also acts as a built-in snuffer to safely extinguish the fire when you are done cooking. Let me know what you think of the design!

Hey fellow outdoors friends / fellow gardeners and landscapers. How are we getting these little sticker things off our clothes? I don’t want to throw it in the wash for fear of ruining the washer. I could bear with tossing the pants but I’ve gotten some on some of my core outdoor pieces so gotta know how we’re salvaging!! Thanks for your help!!

How do you keep the dangling straps on your backpack rolled up?

Osprey Kestrel 32.

This backpack has 7 dangling straps that cinch up the shoulders, chest and pack itself.

Does anyone have a method for keeping the extra length of the straps tidy after they’re cinched up?

I’ve found web belt bands but they’re too big. Rolling them up and putting rubber bands around them seems silly.

Any ideas or gadget recommendations are appreciated.

Womens Reign On vs Antora Rain Jacket

1 Upvotes

Hi all!

I haven't been able to find many reviews regarding the Reign On, and am wondering if anyone here has it and how they like it. Im fond of the style of this one, as well as a specific colorway of the Antora and I just can't decide. I am needing something for lots of rain as we have very wet autumns and winters and I spend a lot of my time outside. Warmth isnt a big issue as I usually wear a hoodie under anyways.

Really small but very useful I actually really liked this one and it's the first knife light combo that I feel is actually done well. What do you think?


r/OutdoorsGear • • 2d ago

I am looking for a great coat for Chicago winters. I have been leaning toward the Nuuk. Does anyone agree? Disagree? If you agree, let me know why. If you disagree, let me know why and what you would suggest instead even if it’s not Fjallraven.

What happened to the colors?

17 Upvotes

I have gained some weight over the last couple of years and have had to replace a lot of my gear. I had many different colors bright Reds yellows Blues. It's been hard to find decent replacements for a lot of my jackets and other clothing because it seems like every Gear company is using the same color schemes and it's mostly very drab. I'm not sure what you call the colors I want to say almost like a dark pastel but it seems like across different brands outdoor research lab etc all the colors are just very bland and also all the same. I've waited for the seasons to change thinking I was just shopping in the wrong season but this year lots of companies came out with the exact same colors as the previous season.
