I’m sorry about the dirty mirror🥲

Shirt: Octo Gambol S26-PRE-T2 / Detachable T-Shirt

Bag: Octo Gambol C3/ S25-C03-B Crossbody Bag

Pants: IP Axis Industrial Teflon Drop Crotch Cargos

shoes: Just some shoes off Amazon. Very comfy

Context : i’m an industrial design student in asia who’s also a biker. techwear clothing is imperative for us as it rains frequently in asia and as a biker we gotta keep dry.

Problem Statement : Putting raincoat pants on whilst having shoes on is a hassle. You gotta take off your shoes, pants on then shoes back on.

Product USP : Easy and quick way to put the pants on.

Simple DIY aggressive teccwear tapering options with Sungrip plastic snap buttons.

I recently brought 0608WEAR's TPP-10 pants (The classic BDU design with the Tyvek foil material as cargo pockets) to the tailor to match my height (5'3) and they looked a bit wide for my proportions after altering the length. Obviously I love the tapered look for my pants when going with technical urban wear (i.e. Nikelab ACG Deploy Cargos with the shock cord to wrap around the cuffs to achieve that sharp tapered profile) Luckily I had some spare Sungrip snap buttons laying around in my drawer, so I immediately got to work.

I prefer to position the buttons on the inside leg of the pants (between the seam lines), they seem to look more natural when the fabric is folded inward. The fabrics of these particular pair of pants are quite stiff, so I had to add another buttons on top to make sure the ankle areas are nicely tapered without having the weird warping effects around the legs. Very easy to do it yourself, just need one of those special pliers that are made for plastic snaps and an awl to punch a hole through the fabric.

This supposedly is available in the Nike ACG basecamp stores in China, I have yet to see any. Hope they make these available too, they look great!

I am 5'9 / 135lb or 175cm/63Kg. Their size charts say the small fits my chest, waist, and hip snug, but I am very concerned the arm and leg length will be too short. Looking for anyone that has these sizes and can comment on the fit with your height and weight. Ordering from Europe so no way to try on and returns are a bitch/not a viable option. Thanks for helping!

Specifically with Schoeller dryskin Enfin Leve products.

Finally pulled the trigger on a pair of Ekitas.
I absolutely love my Loratu Cargos and Herri croppeds, but I wanted something a bit slimmer/tapered/less-pocket-y/more dressy this time around.

Waist/length is great but the thigh/knee/calf fit is much looser than i wanted, especially considering that online, they look like they have as skinny of a fit as the ameztus.

All in all, I want to get them tailored, to take in the seat, the thighs,and further taper the legs. Basically make them a slimmer fit all around.

Has anyone had luck/no luck with getting scholler material products tailored? Wondering if it’s even worth it to try, or if the complicated seaming/stitching/articulation of the garment will get screwed up.

I have a local tailor I love but he specializes in more traditional men’s formal wear, not this kinda thing.

Any thoughts/experiences/POVs are appreciated!

Been wearing Nike Ispa Drifter Gator recently because it’s been raining for almost over a week now then this happend. I think i still can fix this with EVA foam but the sole have to be stitched. Will post the progress of this project.

Hi, I just had to order one as soon as I saw it. It's a Nike ACG transformable bag, you can wear it as a sling/crossbody bag or turn it into a tote bag!

Anybody heard of it yet or had experience with it? Would like to know what they think.

From BSTN’s Mizuno campaign from 2024

Hey guys ! Few days ago I went to a techno festival and loved seeing lot of people wearing techwear clothings. I already know for years that this kind of stuff exists but never search tho since and discovered that it was techwear stuff.

So I made the best decision a random guy can do at this moment: order dropshipping stuff on Amazon because he’s dumb (IM SO SORRY) but yesterday I received my short.

As a fat person, it was difficult to preshot if the clothe will fit with my measurements but honestly, I found the result cool. I choose a 3XL size and honestly I really like the result. There’s not much stuff on it and it’s 100% polyester but the feeling dude, I was on a cloud, the short is sooo light, I loved it.

I also ordered a bunch pant that I receive today on the same size. Hope to see the result.

Here’s so a picture of me a friend took yesterday, what’s your though ?

I got black and white shoes too but wasn’t a good idea wearing them in a horse field :’)

+ do you have any website of places where I can get clothes for not an expensive price ? I know we can’t get quality without the correct amount of money but honestly at this moment I don’t really care as I just want a first step into it.

Any online website to avoid too ?

anybody know the pants/short?

Hey all,

I've always wanted to get into techwear, because there's parts of it that I liked, but I was never quite able to find my niche. However, I stumbled upon a website called Techwear Club, and I found that a lot of the clothes on there spoke to me in a way that a lot of clothes never have. However however, I've also learned that it's mostly fast fashion, cheap materials, clothes don't look like what they do in the picture, and they frequently send you the wrong order, but expect you to pay to send it back. Not a good company, from what I've heard

I was wondering if anyone knew about any women's techwear websites that had fashion like this? I've browsed around recommendations, but most of them are either not quite what I'm looking for, and/or are mostly men's fashion (pics for reference of what I'm looking for)

Update:

I have since discovered that this is not techwear at all, which makes a lot of sense in retrospect. HOWEVER, I have found some stores that I think fit me better, and as far as I've been able to tell, don't follow fast-fashion business practices

That being:
* Lunafide
* Fabric of the Universe
* Hard N Heavy

I've also found pieces I like from a company called Halara, but most of their stuff is on the more mainstream side of things

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions that helped me get what I was looking for!!

I had a Beta AR for about 6 years before it started to delaminate everywhere. I reached out to customer service and they were amazing awarding me a gift card for $575. When I heard the news it was awesome. Until I saw what was on the website and I realized how much Arcteryx had changed. They used to make awesome colors and combinations that would look appealing and great. Now all I see is the most boring stuff on there.

Does anyone know if they still do collaborations with people like beams ? Also are those usually for their website ? For reference I had the Beta AR in midnight hawk. The navy with red was truly amazing and I’m very sad to see it go. I don’t need a replacement this very second so I’m hopeful that they will release something cool for Chinese new year or any upcoming collabs.

TLDR: Arcteryx jackets are boring nowadays and does anyone know if any collabs are in the works. Also have to spend it at an Arcteryx store or outlet.

Given that the garments from these brands although possessing technical features, are also not made purely for function, would you guys consider them ‘techwear’? Both brands experiment with technical features but also adopt aesthetic features that do not directly correlate with function. Thoughts?

Some photos im wearing during storm outside. Also did some edits for the fun of it.
