White Mountaineering kills it once again. What more could you ask for, the aesthetics are consistently on point with well-tested and reliable technical materials to boot. Too bad all this ish only comes in a Japanese-y large :/. I wasn’t feeling the BLK collection as much as I felt that the use of highlight colors with the red were a bit over-the-top and just too bold. Put together as one piece, the decked out head-to-toe in WM BLK is a bit hard to achieve since it comes off very much as a uniform… but if you really are scaling a mountain, nobody really gives a shit I imagine. As well, the use of GORE-TEX Pro Shells on the BLK collection are a bit of overkill for the casual city dweller but you have to appreciate their dedication to making the absolute best.
