New Era - Gore Tex Yankees Cap

Those of you who check the blog regularly will probably be aware that I am a big fan of Gore Tex. Growing up in northern Europe where it rains pretty constantly tech like this does not go unnoticed.

So a blacked out NY Yankees cap with the Gore Tex treatment is a definite win in my books.

Carhartt WIP x Burton

I've been meaning to post this for a while, but hey I'm forgetful.

I'm my opinion this collaboration is an absolute winner. It combines so my things I love. Carhartt, snowboarding and (a slight fetish I have) Gore-Tex.

It's old school work wear, that has been integral to Hip Hop fashion for decades (CNN anyone?), mixed with modern technology to keep you warm and dry.

"Constructed on Carhartt‘s most recognizable outerwear, the Traditional, the Burton x Carhartt WIP Jacket is essentially a “Gore-Tex Deluxe” with a double layer of Gore-Tex Performance Oxford shell and 13 mm Gore-Seam tape to seal off any seams. While based on Carhartt’s Single Knee pants, the Burton x Carhartt WIP Pants underwent the same Gore-Tex weather proofing as with the jacket. Sparing no details, design teams of both entities went over each creation, adding hand warmer pockets, waist gaiter, and articulated reinforcements in key areas. After all, the collection was made with snowboarders in mind.

The Burton x Carhartt WIP Collection is available now at Burton flagship stores around globe and select Carhartt retail locations."

Great stuff.

I'll be waiting at the bottom of the slopes with my goons to jack the first man I see wearing this.

Nike - SB Dunk Hi GoreTex

I'm not a huge fan of Dunks. Never owned a pair but I'm a fan of GoreTex. I have to say I was won over by a Nike ACG GoreTex jacket [Thank you TK Maxx]. Rain just bounces off it like water off a duck's back, which is pretty handy if you live in a place where it rains consistently.

So a "thuggish" blacked out sneaker with fully taped seems built from waterproof/breathable material is definite winner for the winter months.
