Battenwear

Found this old Northfield parka online, not sure about the fit but the 60/40 shell and the fleece lining are both great. Also wearing bouldering pant in black twill, the bottoms I wear more than any other since I’ve been pretty active lately. Anyone else like this brand?

@Nik I like the fit. It’s roomy but looks like it’s supposed to be.

I adore Battenwear. A few of us chatted about them on the resorts clothing thread. My favorites of theirs are legit adventure gear that you can lounge in. I have a couple of pairs of climbing pants, some climbing shorts, some camp shorts, their terry cloth lounge shirt, and @Anesthetist gave me some killer lounge pants and a tote they made. All of it is really good stuff.

I think they hit a cool aesthetic too in their designs and patterns. They’re their own little thing.

Def a fan, esp their lightweight stuff. Here is my packable anorak (sniped by Millie).

I also have a pair of cord local shorts that get a lot of wear in the summer, and had a travel shell but sold it on as the sleeves were a little short.

I love their local shorts and their Terry shirts. The sweats leave something to be desired though. I got a pair of the Step-Up sweatpants and the cut is awful. The hoody wasn't much better.

Local shorts

[seawolf]

Scored a couple of pairs of local shorts last night and got a helluva deal.

@seawolf have you tried these n before, curious about the sizing on the local shorts.

@ZackB what would you like to know? I’m no expert but I’ll help if I can.

Got another pair of old climbing pants. This is duck fabric and the version 2 slightly different design. Gone are the knit cuffs and snap top button. The different cuff makes them look pretty different.
