Riddle time: What’s 10x stronger than steel, yet is quite literally featherweight to a point of being able to float on water? Answer: nonwoven Dyneema. Outlier took this incredible material and with assistance from Hyperlite Mountain Gear, the two were able to create this Minimal Backpack. It’s quite possible the most basic backpack in terms of appearance, but its extremely capable of lugging around, say a bag of bricks, with ease and it is waterproof to boot. It also features a roll top closure, taped seams and you can even fold it down and put it in your jacket pocket, should you not have a need for it at the time being. You can pick yours up at the Outlier web shop.

Outlier shifts gears a bit from their apparel towards their accoutrements with this pack of accessories consisting of scarves, 2 sizes of watch caps, and braided leather keychains done in collaboration with ML Brown. The watch caps come in both a short and long version and are comprised of a 3-ply Italian merino yarn, which should provide some warmth for your dome piece; the scarves are also made up of a superfine merino to help in chilly weather. The key chains, as we mentioned, are made up of braided leather and they feature a sturdy stainless steel Harken-5 sailing shackle for security. All items are available at the Outlier web shop.

Outlier’s Storm King Parka looks to be a killer rain shell. Built around Supermarine® Cotton, a highly breathable, extremely water resistant and completely windproof fabric made from densely woven, Egyptian cotton that swells up and seals when exposed to water.

This season they made a smart move and headed to Vancouver for some serious Canadian seam taping. That combine with a two way Riri Aquazip in the front, a four-piece Pivot Sleeve and a ton of other zips and pockets make this a winner.

Available in Cobalt Blue, Anthracite and Black via Outlier.

For this Fall, Mishka has teamed up with Outlier to produce three colorways of the Pivot Plaid Button Down Shirt.

“A few years back Outlier re imagined the button down shirt. They took it apart and rebuilt it in a way that was conducive to riding your bike, while remaining fashionable. With its innovative seam construction, the pivot offers free range movement without the restrictions usually associated with trying to ride in a men’s dress shirt. You could now reach forward on your bike without the sleeves riding up on you or the back untucking from your pants.”

Fusing the quality and functionality that we are used to see from Outlier, with the design of Mishka, results in a great range of shirts, which are now available in their online store for 84 USD.

Clothing brand Outlier has produced a limited edition Independence Day release of its 60/30 Chino in Field Green.

A superior chino. Simple, incredibly comfortable and well suited for the rain, grit and motion of real life. Pants you’ll want to pull out of your closet and wear everyday. Lightweight, breathable and gifted with a true freedom of movement.

Outlier’s 60/30 Cloth is a carefully considered blend of cotton (64%), micro-denier nylon (29%) and elastane (7%). It combines the comfort and good looks of a classic cotton khaki twill, but with the four way stretch freedom of a cycling short and the durability of a hiking parka.

New York’s most stylish cyclists are back with a new spring lineup. From Selectism – “Outlier bursts into Spring with a trio of useful, stylish garments guaranteed to match mood and temperature. Their success with merino wool continues with Ribbed Henley, the Outlier take on the traditional classic. For the more adventurous, they’ve removed the sleeves and given an option of a merino henley tank too – calling it the Partner B Tank. Match those with the three way shorts – allowing you to run, swim or just straight up look good – and head off on any adventure.”

Outlier has released some fantastic items over the last couple of months, combining style, clean design and functionality in all of their releases. Adding these attributes to a bomber style jacket will of course catch our attention. This week the brand will be releasing the Pivotal Bomber Jacket.

The jacket features a Schoeller 4Season upper, New Zealand merino for the cuffs and collar and they built a bomber around their patent-pending pivot sleeve construction. The Swiss-made Schoeller 4Season fabric is both highly water resistant and breathable, keeping you cool and dry under pressure. The superfine merino in the cuffs and collar is beautifully soft on the skin and wicks sweat away with ease. The pivot sleeve construction ensures a maximum freedom of motion.

The jacket will be available March 22nd in Black, Burgundy, Charcoal Blue and Army Green via the Outlier Webshop.

After announcing this interesting collaboration a while ago, we can give you a detailed look at the two colorways of the Outlier x FEIT Supermarine sneaker today.

“The Outlier Feit Supermarines. A handmade sneaker, built with the best materials possible. Highly water resistant, extremely breathable and all around a pleasure to wear.

Like all of Feit’s shoes the Supermarines are handmade using traditional shoemaking techniques that today are generally only used by high end dress shoe companies like John Lobb, Alden and Tricker’s.

The upper is made from two materials and uses only two seams, one to attach the tongue and one to close up the rear. The outer material is Supermarine Cotton, a highly water resistant and extremely breathable fabric made solely of the longest staple Egyptian cotton. The inner is a double layer of French calf leather, an extremely soft and breathable material.

The Feit/Outlier commando sole is a similar combination. A full length French vegetable leather outsole provides an excellent combination of flexibility and stiffness, while a two piece Vibram sheet rubber layer ensures solid grip and traction. A cork midsole adds in natural breathability and shock absorption. Everything is sewn together using the traditional handmade Goodyear welt construction. Waxed cotton laces, a 3M reflective heel cap, a discreet lace tuck and a buffalo leather insole with natural latex arch support complete the package.”

The sneaker comes in two colorways and is now available for pre-order here.

Take a detailed look at the sneakers and the packaging after the jump.

The Storm King Parka marks the launch of Outlier’s Supermarine Cotton collection. “Highly water resistant, extremely breathable and made of the longest Egyptian staple cotton available,” Supermarine Cotton can be seen as “the pinnacle of cotton technology,” a comfortable and wearable rainy day fabric.
