FutonForensic posted:Is it just to hold clothes and maybe a towel? I just use a cheap drawstring bag. Ideally it'd have to hold shoes, hygiene gear, sandals, change of clothes, and other random poo poo, so it can't be too tiny  I just don't know if the Adidas gym bags that everyone has are worth it.

travisray2004 posted:Speaking of backpacks, I'm after one that isn't huge as I'm going to be using it when on my motorcycle, but has a good use of space. Currently I'm using one of the drawstring backpacks and it's not bad but the drawstrings are annoying as hell when trying get them over a jacket and while wearing gloves. Looked into hiking packs but they seem to be almost the same but costing more. Looked at motorcycle backpacks but they're either goofy, expensive or goofy and expensive. 5.11 Rush 12. I've had mine for 4 years and travelled everywhere with it. It's cheap and tough as nails. Lots of room for all your gear and if you get it in black it's very low profile. 5/5 stars.

Pick posted:I am already dying of cold this winter. Please recommend me products that will help keep me warmer. Are any of the battery socks any good? I do have clothes with good insulation, like Pendleton scarves, but I really need things that make the heat for me. What kind of job do you have that you can't just take a portable electric heater to and plug it in at your desk? And how far up north do you live that it's already that brutally cold where you're at  ? As someone who dives for a living in very cold water in upper New York State (wetsuit too, not drysuit) for 6-8 hours a day, I can suggest a few things. There's lithium-battery powered vests (for diving, surfing, and hunting) and other kinds of wearables that have wires in them that heat up and provide heat for a few hours. Just google "thermalution vest". But that's dependent on what you do at your job I guess. Also, take a thermos with plenty of hot liquids to drink. You'd be amazed at how much warmer you can be if you drink warm fluids.

bongwizzard posted:A coworker of mine had one of those battery-powered heating coats it was more or less garbage that weighed like 15 pounds and really didn't produce a reasonable amount of heat. Also all arcteryx gear is absurdly overpriced.

Eponine posted:I finally saw someone about my persistent foot problems and I was admonished for wearing unsupportive shoes. So besides going to an orthopedic doctor next month, I need to find decent shoes that won't aggravate a stress fracture in my foot. The problem is that I have very high arches and extremely tiny feet (Euro 36, US women's 6-6.5, US men's 4.5-5). I also work in a casual work environment and don't want to wear running shoes to work. Normal width is fine, I just don't want to be stuck wearing grandma shoes for the rest of my life. https://jet.com/product/detail/5927...CFd1XDQodFEgPnw I like these. I'm a guy with ridiculously high arches and basically ballerina feet. These inserts really help with supporting my arches. I have a very active lifestyle that includes hiking, carpentry, outdoor work; etc... you won't regret them.

Lord Zedd-Repulsa posted:I'm looking for a lightweight, hopefully water resistant, coat with hood that can fold into itself. One of the things I truly hate is being caught in cold rain and New Mexico's monsoon rains have been pretty chilly this year. That or I'm just getting more intolerant of the cold. I asked in YLLS's hiking thread but nobody answered. There's an outdoor gear site called sunnysports that has usually has nice sales on rain jackets. A poster above recommended the PreCip jacket and it's pretty good, but unless you're wearing something like a fleece or a sweater under it, you're gonna stay cold. Either wear a lightly insulated Gore-Tex jacket (check out Arc'teryx Fission SV jackets) or wear a layering system. Good luck!

couldcareless posted:My work backpack which I use to carry around my laptop and several tools and extra cables, cable tester, etc, is falling apart. I am beginning to shop for a replacement but don't want to break the bank too bad so my budget is probably under $100. Any good suggestions? My only requirements are basically a separate sleeve that can at the minimum fit a 15" laptop and hoping that it can survive daily fairly rough use. The 5.11 RUSH 24 packs are amazing Also The North Face packs are great too.

AnimalChin posted:Truth. My 5.11 bag is incredible but be aware it doesn't have any sort of support/padding/protection for a laptop. They have decent enough support, I mean there's a frame sheet in the back that makes it rigid. I'm sure they have laptop compatible models, the Rush packs are more general purpose.

Furia posted:What’s it called when long sleeved shirts have like a little hole for you to put your thumb through I have a Patagonia Tropic Comfort shirt that does this and I love it. It’s lightweight and super airy. Also has an attached hoodie to protect your neck, but they sell one without the hood.
