Bomber Gear - The Palguin Series

Bomber Gear – The Palguin Series

Bomber Gear’s new Palguin series is constructed from Neoshell by Polartec.

From Polartec:

Waterproof technology has remained about the same since the very first hard shell. Breathability is achieved through diffusion: moisture and heat create enough pressure that moisture vapor finally passes through the fabric. Soft shells trade waterproofness for greater breathability by making use of…

Apex Award Designer Profile: Rab

Julie Greengrass Apex Award Winner Rab

How did you get your start in design?

I completed a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Fashion Design, followed by a Masters Degree in Performance Sportswear.  I have a passion for sport and over the years have dabbled in everything from hockey and basketball to power kiting, cycling, fell running and climbing.  I also have a great interest in technical fabrics, and problem solving.  All these things come together with my job.

How would you describe your design process? Where do you get your ideas?

First understanding who you’re designing for, and what the product will be used for and then putting together the fabric and features that will create the right product for the job that will have longevity in terms of durability and also style.  Or sometimes it’s the other way around and we find a fantastic fabric and can see that it will be perfect for a particular type of customer or activity and the process starts there instead.  My ideas can come from anywhere, sometimes it’s from clothing, other times it’s from using a product and needing it to do something that it can’t do.  I find looking at other areas of clothing, or other sports or industries inspiring e.g.. footwear, bags, even cars!  Anywhere that something has been designed for a purpose there are things to be learnt about design.

Rab Neo Guide Jacket

What was it about this specific Polartec fabric that intrigued you? What problem did it solve? What role does performance and quality play into your process? How did you decide you needed to work with Polartec?

Ultimately with Polartec NeoShell it’s the fabrics ability to release excess heat and moisture vapour from the garment, without sacrificing the protection from the outside elements.  This has enabled us to create garments that offer the user fantastic levels of comfort during activities with a high level of exertion, without sacrificing their protection from wind and water (including melting snow and ice).  Reducing the amount the wearer overheats means that there’s less stopping to remove clothing layers, and more incentive to push harder in their activity.  These unique levels of performance and high levels of quality are extremely important when designing clothing for extreme conditions, the wearer has to trust the fabric and the brand with their life.  Rab and Polartec have a long history of working together.  With the introduction of a shell technology this offers up new possibilities to work with Polartec.

What did you think when you won the Polartec Apex Award?

I’m really proud to be part of a strong design team that is regularly credited for award winning design.

Rab Neo Guide Pant

What are the current trends that you’re seeing in your industry? What do you like about your industry? Dislikes?

There seems to be a lot going on in insulation at the moment whether it be Polartec Alpha, which we really like and are working with currently; different ways of using down and also new ways of using synthetic insulation.  Also clever fabric placement, pattern cutting, laser cutting and bonding to get the best performance like The North Face Fuse Form or the new Adidas Terrex apparel .   The sportswear industry is small and sometimes exciting when new technology launches, or someone sets a new trend. My only dislike would be the need to continually update massive amounts of product every year, and in some cases it’s not to make the product better it’s to make it cheaper.  This uses  a huge amount of resource in terms of fabric, power, water etc and can encourage a throw away culture.  This has a tremendous impact on the very environment that we’re designing the clothing for.

What’s the most exciting thing about your job? Most exciting thing about designing?

I love starting work on a new project, you never know what ideas you’re going to come up with this time.  I also love how a conversation with the team can turn into a bit of an ideas session and a whole new concept can come out of it.  My favourite thing is to see someone wearing something that I designed that they’ve taken on many adventures and has maybe had a few repairs here and there.  It’s great to know that I can design products that people truly love enough to repair and trust enough to take on their biggest adventures.

What advice do you have for up-and-coming designers?

Ask lots of questions: to fabric suppliers about how things work and the suitability of that fabric for it’s chosen use, and to garment suppliers about the best way to make things, they might give you something that you hadn’t thought of.  Wear your designs and other peoples and learn what works well and what doesn’t.  Get out of the bubble of the office when you can to go and look at the competition and other markets.  Always try to find ways to make things better and last longer.  If you get the opportunity talk to the customer, they won’t give you the best new idea, but they’ll give you a problem that needs solving which leads to new idea.

50-Day Check: Scarpa Maestrale RS and Rab Strech Neoshell Jacket

(Written by Francesco)

I've always been waiting for reports about durability and performance of the gear I like most. A 50-day check might make sense: It's about two winter seasons for some weekend warriors, about one season for a gear geek like me, and half/third of a season for die hard ski bums. I've used this stuff in the Alps and in the Tierra del Fuego, and here is how they worked and survived. They'll certainly work more and maybe will reach a 100-day second check, time will tell. Please consider just one caveat: as any gear geek, I probably take much more daily care of my stuff than the average warrior.

Scarpa Maestrale RS:

I skied the mango pebax maestrale for one winter, and was truly happy with them when skiing sticks up to 2 kilos or - say - 100 in the middle. When I was so lucky to receive exactly one year ago these RS proto from Scarpa I could not imagine, even in my wildest dreams, how good they can be in driving 2.5 kg and/or 120-something sticks (Renegades, Automatics, Sideseth, Shiro, even Katanas on soft snow). Grilamid (+ the other mysterious stuff added by Scarpa) is truly another world compared to pebax. And what about durability? This nylon seems to be more resistant to abrasion than other plastics like polyolephins used by other brands with fantasy names and heavy mesmerizing colours to cover the scratches. I did not feel any significant failure in the flex, buckles and walk/ski devices after 50 days of intense use. My only (minor) issue has been the loose of a spoiler screw, and I was so lucky to find it inside the boot when I realized it. The Vibram sole looks almost like new, with minor consumption in the toe section that is notoriously slim in this new generation of AT boots in order to reduce weight and improve uphill mobility with tech bindings. Notably, the last one has been quite a snowy winter and I did not walk a lot on rocks. The Intuition liner is also still OK, even though I had to use a thicker sock after some 40 or so days of use.

Rab Stretch Neoshell:

Yes I sweat like a pig. Any sort of 3L membrane jacket makes me soaked as soon as I walk or ski uphill for more than a few minutes. When I read of the Neoshell concept (which trades a bit of waterproof in favor of a huge step forward in breathability), I was immediately interested and decided to get the first Neoshell jacket on the market in Fall 2011. I never had before anything from Rab. The jacket is tight, but fits well on me even when I wear my big PIEPS beacon on the chest. I immediately realized that Rab is a strong Neoshell believer when noticed the absence of ventilation zips. The first test was easy and sort of shocking. If I keep a mobile phone in the membrane pocket of a classic 3L jacket, walk and sweat, the phone gets covered by humidity in minutes. This is why serious 3L jackets must have a net pocket for mobile phones. Keep the mobile in the membrane pocket of the Neoshell, and it's never covered by humid. Wow. Said simple, Neoshell works, I sweat much less. What about the tradeoffs? I've got rain and snow in these 50 days of use, and the membrane worked well, never a serious leakage. I've got some strong wind too, and the Neoshell did not protect as a Windstopper or 3L would have been, but I have never been seriously suffering of wind chill so far. As you see from the pics, the jacket is still fully waterproof, zips are OK and I haven't seen any delamination. Finger crossed, I'd like to report another positive report after 50 more days of use.
