Technical Outerwear

[accordion]

That's nice to hear, I like their top silhouette with slouchy sleeves and slouchy/raglan shoulders, good on people with wide shoulders. My order came too and the field sweater has the same design. The bonded sweatpants fit well except the waist isn't as elastic cuz of the neoprene. Thinking of getting a few merino basics and rotate them all fall/winter so I can wash clothes less often.

Did you get the field crew or hoodie? Crew and field sweats will be my next order with some more T's.

Crew sweater, fits like the picture maybe a bit boxier, good length, warm.

 

[OccultaVexillum]

Dope. So you have any of the "space dyed" stuff from a few seasons ago? I'm wondering if it's the same as that. Basically a thickish, very tight knit melange terry.

 

[accordion]

Never tried those, but that sounds about right, definitely densely woven

Just got my merino stuff in. It's all great. The tees have a slightly relaxed crew neck, mildly slutty. They taper from the chest to waist, a pretty flattering fit for athletic people. Slightly longer than reg tees (I'm 6'2" and the XL is perfect. Long sleeve has slightly longer, slouchy sleeves. Leggings are really nice although the rise is lower if that's not your thing, personally for active wear I prefer a lower rise though. I will probably end up buying all the colours (I got the clay in both short and long tee and black leggings).

Silly question, but for those merino tees, that little badge on the bottom: how is it applied? Sewed on? Heat seal? Really wish they would have kept it clean like the iO version.

 

[OccultaVexillum]

Yeah I know what you're saying. I hadn't really noticed it in the product shots. It's heat sealed. I like the fit of these better than the iO ones though and mine are pretty beat up at this point. The fit is similar but it feels like the looseness has a purpose now, if that makes sense.

Thoughts on this Isaora bomber?

Hella good. I'm ordering the navy one next month. If you're going to hold off I'll be sure to let you know how it is when I get it.

you're a real fan of theirs huh

sounds good

 

[OccultaVexillum]

Yeah. I like tech fashion stuff that is more discreet with the tech aspect. Isaora, ACRNM and Maharishi do it best imo an Isaora is the best prices out of those.

New here, but in the process of updating my wardrobe to more sustainable and multi use garments. Am very interested in switching my Drifit workout clothes (which I often wear as casual as well) to Merino wool T's and long sleeve shirts.

Love the look of Isaora, but curious if anyone has a comparison to Icebreaker Tech T's to Isaora? Most reviews of most off brands say they always go back to Icebreaker or Ibex.
Thanks!

How have the merinos been holding up? Are you normally an XL for the brand?

 

[OccultaVexillum]

Pretty pretty pretty good. I am a usual XL, I'm actually thinking of sizing down on the shirts next time since it has such a wide chest-narrow shoulder-low arm hole type of fit.
If you're curious in trying them out I would say go tts for a stand alone shirt and try and size down 1 for a base layer type fit.
