Technical Outerwear

[Rais]

The female designer who was in charge of ACRNM's women's line joined Nike. She had an internal collab (Nike x Schneider) that you can still find a lot of on eBay for pretty cheap.
Lululemon, Y-3/Y-3 Sport, NikeLab/Nike NSW/et.al., Adidas x Stella McCartney, vintage Prada Sport are other options you can start with.

^thanks for ample info! I'll check it out!

I think I'd be fine with that, I much prefer a jacket but I'd appreciate any suggestions.

I've said this 10E6 times but look into the Veilance Galvanic. If you're looking for an overcoat, OAMC made some cool one a couple years ago

Ok guys here it goes.

I picked up this parka:
ADIDAS CONSORTIUM ATHLEISURE PACK 2 IN 1 PARKA

I walked through a lot of rain and did not get wet at all in fact was a bit hot. The one thing i really ,liked about this parka was no weird big pockets on the front. I did like isaora as well but front pockets killed it for me.

My response in general is wear whatever you want and just make sure its isn't super awkward.

In reality i think CM stuff works well with the below more so than it does with the jacket i posted above. I imagine things a bit more fitted and toned down for CM but thats about it. With sw&d i think drapy dark etc looks cooler. Then again no one is stopping you form wearing a bit more dressy gear with the jacket in spoiler. Just my 2c, hope that helps

Could probably go full Uniqlo/Uniqlo U with one of their blocktech outers over the top. Maybe some black Stan Smiths or other simple sneaker/sneakerboot for the footwear.

Has anyone ever contacted Isaora customer service with any success? I have some garments that have come apart at the hem and want to take them up on their lifetime guarantee, but no one has responded to the 3 emails I've sent.

 

[OccultaVexillum]

They've always been very responsive to me, but with that said I haven't contacted them in a year or more.
TBH I don't know what's going on with them, Ricky Hendry went to Nike (Lab or ACG?) and I don't know if he's still involved in Isaora, they also dropped the whole direct to consumer model and are back at retailers but not nearly at the level they used to be and all of the stock those retailers picked up are from last winter or later.

Thanks for that info! I wonder what the deal is. I can't seem to find active social media accounts for them either, which can't be a good sign.

do we have a tech wear thread? i keep looking for some good references for a stylish insulated jacket and all i keep coming up with is stylish shells but i honestly don't want that.

Seems dead by now. Was a lot of veilance talk and whatnot.

Anyone know where I can find something like this (i.e. basically exactly the same design) but with a hood

I have the black one when RLBL was still around, it's still works very well, I just wish they had made a version with hood.
