Worth It? Uniqlo VS Arc'teryx Veilance T-Shirt

[@shockout2020]

Almost all my shirts are Uniqlo at this point, shit's addictive

[@ThisIsAntwon]

Uniqlo lyf! The Uniqlo U stuff in particular is generally pretty good

[@30m3]

Same, they fit me perfect which is rare.

[@shockout2020]

Yeah it's both trendy and classic,
Also fits perfectly for a 5'8 Asian manlet

[@arcadekid1747]

It seriously is!!!

[@eben9233]

watch out, i got uniqlo x kaws

"hikers are techwear OGs" - finally someone validates my choice to wear Rab around town

@@ThisIsAntwon Jottnar has a 30% off sale for end of season stuff. I'd check out their shells.

[@nym5qu17]

if I had enough money to drop 150$ on a t shirt, I’d rather just get a cool pair of shoes tbh

[@In.New.York.I.Milly.Rock.]

But what if you already have all the shoes you want?

[@prodbyurod]

@@In.New.York.I.Milly.Rock. wait for a new pair to come out

[@ketgala]

Invest in stonks instead

[@ThisIsAntwon]

Just wrap a couple of these around your feet and you're good to go

[@gxuum]

me knowing full well i aint gonna spend $150 USD on a shirt (which is $230 AUD for me), watches anyways cos Antwon

[@ThisIsAntwon]

At least know you know enough about it you could convincingly lie about owning one, and that's pretty much as good

[@TechwearGermany]

I have the grey Uniqlo dry ex one for multiple months now and really like it.
Light, breathable, you won't sweat and the grey color helps hiding those "sporty" mesh thingys.
BUT!
As a person that is a little bigger than your average dude, I don't like the fit as much as I do with other shirts.
The smell thing is also a point that I can totally agree with.
I would love to try Arc'Teryx shirts but there's no need for it atm for me.

[@thenegativestraightedge1073]

I know your channel is about techwear and really technical clothing. But for real will be a really good topic making videos comparing hoodies and different pieces making a detailed review bcs tbh most of the reviews we have on UA-cam are poor and ignorant . And taking a look to the different sides of fashion. Like a high fashion hoodie from Balenciaga where mostly people think ur just paying the name and the hype and then a techwear hoodie from Acronym or Cp company or any brand u think fits the price and the rank and then just a really cheap brand hoodie. Idk I think could be a really cool series from the channel making a really intense and strict comparison about what do you get with a 500£ stone island hoodie vs a 500£ balenciaga hoodie or a 500£ undercover/rick Owen's one. And after that just take a 45£ champion hoodie so we can know what we are really paying for. And If its definitely worth this brand or it's a complete scam.
Thanks for your time and videos, much love from Spain.

[@mcbleistift3414]

Its mostly design and a lifestyle you pay for

[@MegaMuff420]

The new FW19 ACG Hoodie is fucking perfect

[@thenegativestraightedge1073]

@@MegaMuff420 Definitely it is, the quality of Nike ACG is really really good better than most of Nike lab pieces.

[@ThisIsAntwon]

Thanks! Glad you liked the video format of comparing different stuff like this - I'd be up for doing more bits of clothing along similar lines in future for sure. Makes things a bit more interesting than reviewing something like a t-shirt/hoodie by itself.

[@sweetfruit7769]

could you review technical + functional backpacks again?
- arc'teryx created the minimalistic technical masterpiece *_NOMIN_*
- black ember produced the *_WPRT_* with a modular system
it would be great to know which _actually wearable_ functional backpacks you would recommend to us

[@peylogarten8808]

Hello this is Antwerp 6 here

[@QuickQuips]

I've found quite a few Uniqlo Dry Ex t shirts run $5. If I want a techier shirt I'd spend more for Airism. It smells less too.
Arcteryx standard shirts are what I'd go for unless you need merino. Icebreaker is relatively affordable for merino Basel ayers that look good.

[@tonyyates2012]

Nice review, I should also add that Merino does come in different weights and hybrid blends.

[@ThisIsAntwon]

Good point! I think Frame tees are always the same weight but other brands (e.g. Outlier) do merino tees with different construction

[@sdchew]

Outlier Ultra Fine T is my go to

[@fargin2778]

I've never fully understood Uniqlo as techwear stable. Whenever I decide to wear one of my non-merino shirts, I always end up pledging to replace all my tees with merino. Sure hunned plus for a tee is not exactly cheap, but you could argue, anything that smells like a wet dog at the end of the day, is not a great bargain either.

[@xxraverxxonxtacy]

32 degrees apparel have some nice options especially when they're on clearance.

[@ThisIsAntwon]

ty for the suggestion!

[@MrDedpool1]

And they're at Costco

[@psych9079]

At first a 150$ tee was obsurd for me, but now that you've talked about the more premium features, I might have to pick it up this labor day sale.

[@ThisIsAntwon]

Hope you strike gold in the sales my man

[@psych9079]

@@ThisIsAntwon Same with you.

[@ringrev]

Merino MAPP* ...as in, "Merino And Poly-Propylene". Not to disparage from buying Veilance, but you still should know the difference. The thread used for structure in the weave are PP, with merino wool wrapped around the PP thread.

[@greemu]

Haha pp

[@GanymedeGang]

I feel like techwear is getting us ready for space travel because when your in space you don't know what conditions you'll be in. I hope future spacemen will have Uniqlo SPACEism t-shirts in their wardrobe.

[@ThisIsAntwon]

Y-3 and Undercover have literally designed space suits in the last few years so I'm getting ready for 3019 already 8)

[@T19R0N]

Merino is waaay better than cotton, especially if you get a little sweaty, I don't think I'll buy more than a handful of cotton T-shirts for the rest of my life.
However, that Arc'teryx shirt is triple what you pay for a decent merino shirt so I don't think it justifies it's price at all!
With that said it does look good on you, Argentina :)

[@ThisIsAntwon]

Thanks! Gotta pay that premium for the Arc'teryx Veilance inner label

[@Slamdeath]

I only wear triple aught design traverse tech ts (except for band shirts). I can highly recommend them. For both cold and warm weather. You can wear them a week if you air them out over night.

[@ThisIsAntwon]

Thanks for the recommendation - not the first time Triple Aught has come up in the comments so I need to check 'em out some time for sure

[@freddyortiz336]

even regular arcteryx tees keep me cool, and i live in cali

[@MegaMuff420]

Paying $150 and then trying to justify your ridiculous purchase by any means necessary is just muppet-tier.

[@ThisIsAntwon]

My mum told me I had to make this video or else she'd return it to the shop :(

[@timkalman577]

The price seems crazy so I never purchased one- until recently. I received one as a gift and to my great surprise I love the damn thing. I suppose you get what you pay for.

[@In.New.York.I.Milly.Rock.]

Hmm, this made me feel like buying the qlo.

Rather spend 150 on a shirt that actually has some features. I Remember buying Burberry t shirts for 120 back in 2014-17…huge mistakes. Shitty sleeve designs and mid cotton.

[@bigstunna2049]

Can you please review the Nikelab phantom pouch? It's the perfect mix between vest and shoulder bag

Ooh never seen that before! Looks like it's a women's piece and part of their AAE collection which never really took off. I don't think it's available any more but I'll keep a look out in some stores

[@bigstunna2049]

@@ThisIsAntwon I've seen it on grailed for 90-120$ and I think it's on ssense or mr porter

Not worth it over Outlier's or Wool & Prince's t-shirts. Good quality merino t-shirts are always better than synthetics tho imo

[@ThisIsAntwon]

Outlier are a great option for this kinda thing - good suggestion. Natural fibre GANG

[@thebiohackinglab]

I own quite a few Outlier Merino shirts (~ 8), but definitely prefer the Veilance. Just has a better feel and construction. I find myself grabbing the Veilance far more often.

[@cipher893]

I really dislike clothing that doesn’t do the job of covering whatever they are meant to cover.

[@larsmurdochkalsta8808]

What kind of krimp does this merino wool have? I know many don't have krimp and don't flex well. Also for cheeper high quality merino check out duckworth.

[@mw5360]

Hang on, people are wearing tshirts for more than one day????

If its merino wool yeah..most hikers who does multi day hikes juz wear 1 set of clothes. I am sure there are cheaper merino wool than arcteryx ones
