Can we have an /out/ clothing/gear recommendations thread?

>only post stuff you've personally tried
>it's ok to post stuff you specifically didn't like

i'll go first. I've been using a Drago brand bag for about 8 years now, and they are very durable and great stitching. Have packed over 40lbs into these small bags and they still hold up well. It seems Drago may have went out of business through covid, but there bags are found cheap on ebay and apparently amazon still too

I second Morakniv but for the cheap ones and the Spark. at the 70 dollar price you have a lot of better options from different brands.

my biggest recommend is using aluminum/bare steel/cast iron cookware from the thrift store. been doing it for three decades now that way and saved a ton of money avoiding the expensive titanium shit other dudes would buy.

this recommend does not apply if you're backpacking and relying on your gear intensely, I tried that with a thrifted aluminum pot and got fucked after it melted when I got distracted.

Does anyone make something similar to a gorka, specifically the pants? I have one and I love hiking in it especially in the colder months because of the water resistant paneling, but I want to get something less military looking for hiking trips abroad because I don't want to attract unwanted attention.

guys I need some suggestions for deep winter clothes.
stuff that works in -20 to -30 C.
specific pieces, general knowledge or just brands in general would be interesting to me.

I'm moving to Lapland and my current winters are around -10 - 15C and a lot less snow.

I'm usually good with thermo long John's and a light puffer jacket under a wind proof chunky fleece jacket but I feel like I have to up my game.

I'm probably looking at a good hardshell jacket and a more substantial puffer and either dedicated snow pants or some kind of over pants.

I'm not a good consumer and I go hiking in Dickies work pants.
my thermal stuff is all from Uniqlo because it fits well looks good and is very decently priced.
I do have money if it makes sense to splurge on the hard shell jacket or the puffer but generally speaking I'm thrifty and not out to min max some questionable performance gains.

to make life harder, all black everything is kinda important to me.
I'm literally on the spectrum and wearing colorful clothes is a weird no go for me.
plz don't bully.

Careful, once you wear these you won't want to wear anything else. It's like walking in indestructible pyajamas all day.

The gen.2 shorts are also very nice, the vent zippers make a huge difference.

I've had a pair of Merell Crosslander 3's for a while now, and I can't say enough good about them. They did have a break-in period of about 1.5-2 weeks, but after that it has felt like I'm wearing cozy-ass houseshoes. I actually wear them all day at work (home repair) in addition to innawoods, so I really appreciate the arch support. I also like the fact that the rubber from the sole comes up a little to help prevent scuffing the toe and heel of the shoe.

Assuming you want to look more like your pic and less like Archimedes Q. Porter with a pith helmet and 'stache, you're going to want to look for clothes in khaki, olive drab, or coyote tan.
Sites like Propper and Tru-Spec sell pants and button-downs that should fit the bill, and since they're made for "tactical" wear, they'll hold up a lot better than "costume" or dress clothing of a similar style.
If you're wanting boots, you could possibly look at reproduction WWII U.S. Army "jump boots". They even make canvas gaiters for them, which fit right in with the old safari style.
For hats, try something with a wide brim like a slouch hat, Panama, boonie, or Aussie bush hat.
Two items that I personally own which might fit your aesthetic are my SADF bush hat (repro. from Fireforce Ventures) and my khaki "service" shirt (Belgian milsurp from Kommando Store but found elsewhere too). I can attest that both are of great quality and will last a long time even with rough use.
One more thing: please tell me you plan on storming out of the bush at urbanite hikers, brandishing a massive side-by-side and babbling about rogue elephants.

A silver umbrella is one of the most versatile pieces of hiking gear you can buy.

>most ventilated rain protection, 100% breathable

>hide when shitting as a courtesy to possible strangers
>beak for a tarp

They sort of work hands free but it’s far from ideal; that’s better for sun than rain. You really have to have a hand dedicated to it in the rain. As such, it’s impossible to do things like set up camp or dig through your pack in a moderate rain. In a light rain, where you’d end up soaked if you hiked in it for a hour but a few minutes won’t hurt, it’s obviously better than any other option.

They absolutely dominate on the East Coast and obviously in any desert. The further you go toward the Southeast, the better they are. Rain showers become more sporadic due to abiotic effects, and temps are generally higher and don’t cool during the rain. Anyone using a rain jacket this time of year is either objectively and clinically retarded or lives far west of the Mississippi River.

There’s also the super cozy appeal of having your own comfy space while hiking. It’s like hanging out under a small tarp in the rain, but while hiking. It’s the same in hot weather, but more so in rain. Plus the sound of rain pattering against it is fantastic. Several companies use the exact same model and just slap their logo on it. It’s been popular in the US since the early 2000’s when GoLite introduced it as the Chrome Dome.

Six Moon Designs, Gossamer Gear, Euro Schirm, and Z Packs all have identical models with different logos.

>doesn’t it snag on trees?
No, which is why it’s popular on the AT (basically a green tunnel). I used an original Chrome Dome on sections of the Florida Trail, which is a literal jungle.

>but wind!
Pair it with a running jacket. They won’t turn inside out because of the way they’re constructed.

>suggestions for deep winter clothes.
For what use?
>hiking
Short wool underwear (varusteleka has them rather cheap), miltec austrian pullover (looks like crap, but is designed in such a way that it won't slide up even if you lift your arms above your head), some sort of wool cap (I've used simple knit caps so far and am going to try a Finish m43 this winter), a thinly insulated pair of pants (mine are cheap shit from aldi and work just fine).
Basically, you want coarsely woven / knit stuff as possible on your torso, head and arms so seat can evaporate and fine, waterproof fabric on your legs so you don't get wet when walkingthrough brush or gras.
>static stuff like hunting or birdwatching
Wool underwear, shearling jacket (basically an old fashioned aviator's jacket), German army surplus winter mittens, long wool underpants, insulated pants, woolfelt or woven wool cap.
You're not gonna sweat, but also won't be warm enough to evaporate rain, so you want waterproof top materials. You could also go with synthetics and a poncho, just avoid membranes as they won't work properly unless your body is warm enough - which it won't be if you're sitting around for hours.
>riding vehicles (tractors, utvs, anything that isn't a bike) where you're sitting in the weather without using your muscles
long wool underwear, wool pullover, oilskin coat or poncho.
Maximum insulation, basically, to deal with the extra chill from driving.

Also,
>-20 to -30°C
isn't that cold. That's what southern Germany gets at night. I've never been to Lapland (or Scandinavia in general), but if I was you, I'd doublecheck that that's really the lowest temperatures and not the average daily temperature or something like that.

thanks for the write up, that sounds all very reasonable.
sounds like I'll hit up Varusteleka for some basics And then fine tune as needed.

will definitely give coars knits a try and have to get my hands on some waterproof insulated pants.

-20C - -30C is definitely not the lowest more of a "daytime" average.

we had -20 around here before and it felt surprisingly easy to handle but we never had the amount of snow that Lapland gets.

I've had a HPG Umlindi bag for about 3 years now, my only complaint is that the compression strap which goes around the water bottle sleeve should have had a guide on the top of the sleeve to prevent it from sliding around when you're jamming a bottle into it while it's on your back.

You'll get a lot more use cases out of a headlamp in my opinion. I fell for the overengineered muh lumens muh aluminum meme until I actually got caught out hiking in the dark and had to put it on. A big headlamp works fine for the previous use cases I had like night fishing but when you're climbing around on rocks trying to get off a mountain you want something light that will stay where it is on your head, not something top-heavy. In case you were wondering, the Nitecore HC65 also has a critical flaw where it will slowly drain the battery if you leave it in the light. Fucking retard engineers.

I think the biggest decision for flashlights is battery powered (Batteries can be bought pretty much everywhere and if you're backpacking it's probably more convenient) and rechargeable (Don't have to pay for batteries but once it's dead you need an outlet or a power bank to get it working)

I ended up getting a Nitecore NU25 rechargeable headlamp and I haven't had any complaints yet.

The annoying thing about a rechargable headset is if you have to charge it you can't use it at the same time... well, maybe you can, but having a cable to your power bank with the lamp on your head would be annoying as fuck. It's unfortunate because I carry a power bank anyway for my phone (which acts as my gps), but I carry two extra sets of AAAs for my headlamp when I'm out. They don't weigh much at least.
