Has anyone used a wool anorak by Petros for bushcraft? they look cozy and 630g has some heft. also they seem like nice people to support. the tag line "Cozy as the hug of your loved ones" stood out to me as i am fairly estranged from family and could really use a proper hug right now. thank you for coming to my ted talk.
>>2861813how much did thwy pay you for this very questionable marketing tactic of posting in this mongolian basketweaving forum instead of something more mainstream? genuinely curious
>>2861823Not op but they got a sale now. Would never pay 150-250, but 70-90 bucks is tempting for merino so I'm bumping wondering myself if they're good or not
>>2861813>I am emotionally distressed and susceptible to cheesy marketing, will consuming product fill the hole in my heart?Have a hug anon. Also no.
>>2861824>most peopleyeah well im not fucking normie trash like them and primarily wear wool all year long.
>>2861823i get your point..but dude just so you know its a sign of schizophrenia to assume that everything you read online is an ad
>>2861850be fucking real man, what kind of real person write on the internet that he wanted to buy [item+brand name] complete with its marketing tagline and shit?
>>2861857people do that all the time,"hey have you guys tried this patagonia jacket or whatever is it any good". you sound a little nuts bro
>>2861848I suppose I needed that.>>2861813>100% Wool (Organic), 100% Linen thread base (to strengthen the fabric)Huh. That's unusual... and kind of cheapens the fabric weight statement. The linen thread doesn't contribute to warmth, but actively degrades the climatic properties of the wool. Good wool fabric doesn't need linen backing to not tear apart. The only problem with heavier wool weaves in general is that they degrade by abrasion eventually, not that they tear. The wool being organic is also kind of a weird statement - there's no chemicals problem with wool, generally. But it's probably new wool then, so there's that.The presentation of that company is... yeeaaah. Either really naive or really creepy.The merino wool hoodie looks better to me, and frankly 70 bucks is a real steal. Might not be too durable however.
>>2861813no, I wear synthetic fleece because Im not a larper and actually do hard hikes
>>2861871He asked for bushcraft not hard hiking you absolute muppet. Bushcrafters like to have fires and need clothes that don't start melting at the first ember to fly on them.
>>2861867>unusuali asked my mom about it since she sews and knits stuff all the time and she said that is common to use some other fabric as interfacing especially when dealing with a softer material such as wool. i have a camel wool vest that is structured in the same way and it works wonders as well
>>2861871>actually do hard hikeswell im not in my 20s anymore so just want to go for comfy strolls and not hammer constantly on steep inclines. i have so many aches and pains from years of doing that. maybe take it easy bro before you become a creaky old geezer like me
>>2861824I get a worse skin reaction (skin condition on my hands) from plastic clothing like acrylic than I do wool. Just wear a base layer if it's too itchy.>>2861871My wool jumper is far warmer than my synthetic fleece personally. Both cost me the same. One was made in some Asian shithole from polyester, another was made in Europe using European wool. I know which I prefer.
>>2861813I have one. Size up if between sizes. I like midlayers to fall back down over my hips when i lower my arms. Since there's no side slits or anything it doesn't slide all the way down. I like my clothes loose though.The fabric is really interesting. It's like a polartec classic fleece where the fabric sticks out like hairs. Ironically that fleece was made to imitate wool.I probably wouldn't go for the heavy in your pic since it's a lot more expensive and you don't want a ton of weight unless where you live is frigid.If I got again id prob get the quarter zip as the neck hole is tighter than I like and I like to vent out the front if possible. I wouldn't trust a full zip though for 2 reasons. 1: I guarantee the zipper is ass and much more likely to break as a full zip than partial. 2: if it shrinks at all the zipper wont shrink making the zipper fold a bunch so when you sit the zipper will pull up like you're sporting a boner.The guy keeps updating the fabric with the mill and I definitely think he's onto something. Most companies just stick with what they've used forever, what's available, or what's cheapest. It's very warm for its weight.I mainly still use Stanfields 80/20 heavy wool or great australian bushwear shirts though. for me it's a little too warm without being able to vent. i also hate hoodies though (will prob cut off at some point and cut a line down the front for an opening.). the quarter zip wasn't available when i got mine.
>>2861850It's a reasonable default assumption in our modern age.
