The Uniqlo Thread

[Raindrop]



Well the down leaks and down is useless when it's wet. The nylon that they use rips easily. I know it's knit picking but there's some really awesome insulators that use coreloft and a nylon which breathes better is is more durable. But we talking like $250-$700 vs $30. So yea Uniqlo ultralight down is great.

No I see what you mean. You're correct in the regards that the down leaks (very shoddy) but for $30, I don't think it's worth complaining. I'll take a look into the Arcteryx stuff, thanks.

Wish they'd stock tees and linen shirts online already.

i dont know what kind of voodoo veillance uses but my galvanic is like as thick as a raincoat for the most part, and I can wear it with a tshirt and be fine in probably everything above 0 farenheit, blocks wind well to.

How does the +J cashmere v-neck sweater fit?

For reference, I wear a size M in the +J regular fit shirt.

Thanks!

Got the selvedge stretch denim they just dropped. Not bad. Fit is way too slim for me to wear the faded denim color, but black color works great.

What's the taper/leg opening like? You're a 34 right?

 

[Coldsnap]

I size up to a 34, the leg opening is 7.5". Just a mild taper.

 

[OccultaVexillum]

That's not bad. Would you mind PM'ing me some measurements (or telling me how accurate the online ones are, they always seem off). FWIW I took a 35 in the washed PBJ's and 34 in the raws.

 

[Coldsnap]

Measurements on a size 35 was 12" thigh, 10" rise, 15" back rise, 7.5" leg opening. Thigh is a bit smaller than what I usually can do but the stretch is super stretchy so it helps.

 

[OccultaVexillum]

Thanks man, yeah 12" seems tiny. It doesn't seem like it would be that crazy with only 1% spandex?

I was surprised how much stretch it has for sure. Can bring knees to chest and do a full paleo squat.

 

[OccultaVexillum]

Sweet, thanks. I guess I'll have to wait for a restock of the 34lengths.

 

[Coldsnap]

I'm expecting the thigh to stretch out too, selvedge and 1% stretch will def bag out.

Is the water defender ultra light the same way or are the leaks just with the regular ultra lights and vests?

All of the down uniqlo stuff leaks.
