What’s old is always new. I have been a little obsessed with the fashion of mountain gear from the seventies and eighties. I’m talking technical gear from winters past including early uses of Gore Tex, waxed canvas and other wind stopping materials. A few companies have tried to revisit the old classics including Supreme and Penfield but it’s not quite the same as a vintage piece that could have been worn by some super dad.

In some of my more recent blurfing (blog surfing? No, forget that) I stumbled upon a blog and Flickr account that makes me a little envious. It seems that Nicolas from One-Upmanship has a similar interest in outerwear and has documented his collection from the golden age on his Flickr account. Sierra Designs, Peter Storm, Berghaus and a grip of other mountain armor companies are in the mix with boots to match. I feel like a hypebeast again. Fuck.
