>>1107696I like synthetic stuff because it's cheaper than comparable natural fiber stuff, but god damn is modern synthetic pig disgusting to look at. The disgustingly bright neon colors, the giant flashy logos that scream LOOK WHAT BRAND I WEAR, and the pockets within pockets within pockets within pockets that cover 90% of the damned coat.
I like vintage mountaineering clothing from around the 1950s-1960s, when synthetics were first starting to be used a lot in technical climbs while still retaining very conservative aesthetics
