Hmmm good to consider thanks

Looks similar to veilance just with the branding.

Prada no question (if you like the design of it). NikeLab is still Nike. You also need to worry about numerous NikeLab ACG fakes that are online for sale brand new, especially of the Alpine jacket and the 2-in-1; another consequence of the brand's popularity with the hypebeast crowd.

any easy way to tell if the 3 in 1 acg is a fake? don't think i'm into the prada jacket

This silhouette is cool as **** - too bad it hardly gets cold enough in sf

ehhh not looking for a puffer atm, thank you though...

currently the 3 I'm considering are in spoiler... adidas day 1, nike 3 in1 (prob the first in line) and a veliance

Spoiler: jackets

Sorry- this wasn't in response to your search, just wanted to post

I just ordered what must be my 12th Arc'teryx. This time, I ordered the redesigned Alpha SV. While hard not to feel like a poseur having a jacket designed for the most extreme conditions, but as I do live an hour from the Great Smokey Mountains and often go camping, I only feel like a quasi poseur.

I will grant you $750 is a bit crazy for a nylon jacket, but at least it is one of the only if not the only Arc jacket still made in Canada.

SI isn't my thing but that gradient garment dye is cool. How did they do that dye effect?

GET THE VEILANCE. Though I don't know if the Mionn is enough for winter. If price utility is a priority I'd recommend looking into mainline arc. The Camosun, Therme and Koda are all great options.

N100P-X gore for camping huh? If you're this deep into arcteryx it makes sense to own the Alpha SV. It really speaks to the heritage of the brand. I hope you didn't get the black one to look like Drake.

Anyone know anything about lux skiwear? Frauenschuh for example? I know we are out of season but some look sharp.

Or maybe Mountain Force?

Or, is Veilance flexible enough to actually work for ski.

I purchased a Bora 70 Backpack circa 1994 and that pack changed my life. From there... I actually also have a Canadian made Alpha LT that is sadly too snug when layering which pretty much makes it useless aside from running around time.

I got the Odysseus which is a dark green. I occasionally have done rock climbing (excessively poorly), but generally go for those types of extended length backpacking trips where I have to talk myself into going along with it.

My youngest brother lives in Marin County so I have a good start off point relatively close to a number of amazing places to go. I also like that the SV with the exception of the Veilance are all that remains of Canadian made Arc'teryx apparel.

Can you guys link some of these or show pics plz

Y3 looks surprisingly good this season. The qasa drones sorta ruined the brand for me but everything looks more directional and (hopefully) functional. More Yohji than pure hypebeast/trendy techwear.

Mountain Force design look superfluous and quality in fabric choice and stitching isn't too impressive. I see it as a high end Spyder.

I defiantly wouldn't wear Veilance skiing

Those wide leg trousers are tempting

saw this pullover on reddit/r/techwear clothing, looks neat https://www.umoro.com/collections/apparel/products/out-01-11002?variant=29638838149

Whats everyone's opinion on Acronym? Is it worth the money, even if I were to really want on in resale?
