    Material technology advancements and effects on industry. (Natural vs Synthetics)

    I agree, I don't think Natural materials are going anywhere regardless.

    Material technology advancements and effects on industry. (Natural vs Synthetics)

    It seems to me like my post was confrontational. My apologies for that, that was not my intention. I was just looking for experience and opinions on the subject. I did know this forum was biased towards natural materials, I just didn't know it was SO intense.

    Material technology advancements and effects on industry. (Natural vs Synthetics)

    That was not my intent at all. I think I just didn't recognize the audience here. Thread does have some interesting points though.

    Material technology advancements and effects on industry. (Natural vs Synthetics)

    That's because we have learned our lessons (a little) and dumped the pollution on developing country. Don't forget they are producing FOR us (mostly). :) At the end of the day, WE are still the CORE of the issue.

    Material technology advancements and effects on industry. (Natural vs Synthetics)

    Yep Plus, I'm not really sure how Plastic is NOT the solution. Most of it is recycled correct? And if synthetics are produced from recycled plastics that is FAR better than killing animals or having polluting factories produce "natural" materials. Natural means, something in nature gave it's...

    Material technology advancements and effects on industry. (Natural vs Synthetics)

    If you live in America or ANY 1st or even 2nd world country, you should never EVER complain about any pollution or act like you care for this planet. As YOU (and I) are the biggest part of the problem. Please

    Material technology advancements and effects on industry. (Natural vs Synthetics)

    You do realize that we KILL animals and produce as much (if not MORE) pollution when it comes to natural fibers correct? Have you not seen the damage the mills have done to our planet in the 1800s? :) History is your friend on this issue. You have 2 choices as I see it: 1. be a cavemen and...

    Do I have style or nah?

    To me, style is a combination of things, not ONE thing. Things like maturity, behavior, experience, attitude, confidence, body language and many more play a big role. It's a package of things, not just clothes. Clothes is just a small part of it actually.

    Material technology advancements and effects on industry. (Natural vs Synthetics)

    Thank you for your reply and I agree 100% Noticed that even sleeping bags are getting excellent on the synthetic end. The only downside at this point is weight not being compact, both which might be addressed in the near future. That's probably the only reason Down is still use throughout the...

    Material technology advancements and effects on industry. (Natural vs Synthetics)

    I thought it was already happening on a large scale when it comes to clothing. Perhaps not dress clothes. Agreed

    I'm sure it can be, I was told by the sales rep to not do it.

    Material technology advancements and effects on industry. (Natural vs Synthetics)

    I don't agree with this at all. All my synthetic clothes (mostly hiking) breath WAY better than wool or cotton. It's not even a close contest anymore. I've used wool socks (winter hiking), wool sweatshirts and cotton for years. Retaining smell is a none issue after wash. When it comes to...

    Material technology advancements and effects on industry. (Natural vs Synthetics)

    How exactly can you spot the difference or tell the difference. Most people I speak to struggle, even those that wear natural materials/high quality. I'm trying to learn. Carbon Fiber is also plastic, yet it's becoming superior to METAL. We are not talking tailors here. Please explain how...

    The Quitting Alcohol Thread

    I put <insert anything> into 2 camps. Makes me a better person or makes me a worse person camp. This applies to people, things, alcohol....whatever Alcohol has ALWAYS been the 2nd for me. Even if I have a little, the way my body feels is just crappy. What's worse is that my motivation and drive...

    Need recommendations on perfect hiking/classic fashion boots

    Hiking boots? I'm an avid hiker and I only use boots in the winter months. Waterpoof/snow hiking. These boots have been the best hiking boots I've ever had, no joke. I got them for $20 at Costco and they are on year 4! My wife got them too. And when I say 4 years, I'm talking White Mountains...

    Material technology advancements and effects on industry. (Natural vs Synthetics)

    Hi Everyone, long time lurker here. It seems like clothing technology (especially sports/athletics) advancements have been quite large in recent years. On my personal end it (besides investments into companies) when it comes to my outdoor wear (hiking, running, backpacking, # of sports) it has...

    How many miles did you run today?

    Average 2 miles a day, every day. Running is a big part of my mind and body maintenance plan. Does wonders for my mental strength and stability.
