Yum. That’s the only way I can describe these delicious designs by two innovative outdoor specialists. I was lucky enough to snatch a paclight Gortex waterproof by Arc’teryx and a softshell from Haglofs and I could not praise them both more. It is astounding the difference in quality, fit, breathability and length of life you receive with such products. I commute daily by bike or foot rain or rain (UK) and these both just work. I would like to point out that there are numerous companies out there that provide similar products but the attention to detail, sleek construction and modern colour schemes allow them to be worn in any occasion. I can’t help give a nod to whoever was responsible for the re-design of the Arc’teryx website either which helps bring the brand into the 2.0 era.

Ucon Acrobatics

Next up is a company that oozes cool.If your looking for a more relaxed look that still allows a more active lifestye be sure to check out Ucon Acrobatics, a Berlin based label that doesn’t take no for an answer when it comes to bringing ideas to life.

Sixpack France

Last but not least is the stupendously fresh label from France that I guarantee to have at least five shirts that you will drool over. Started in 1998, Sixpack France hit the ground running hard. With artists from all over the globe providing the luscious array of artwork, I put them ahead of most if not all other current collaborative clothing storefronts and feel positive when I say they only going to rise. Be sure to check back for recent updates or you might miss out on specific prints.
