Affordable Jacket SHOWDOWN - Adidas VS Orbitgear Techwear Review

[@sully2050]

I own the myshelter and its definitely one of my favorite budget jackets. Like you mentioned its got an almost poncho like look which has a pretty unique way of letting the sky liquids flow right off lol

[@Krondon-SSR]

why would a 250 dollar jacket be called a budget jacket?

[@SiratSkywalker]

I own a white MyShelter, and definitely would recommend it as a minimalist Techwear jacket for those new to Techwear!

[@Syrtax]

I have the Orbitgear W101-J, and I'm very happy with it. We had some very rough weather over the last few weeks in Germany, and the jacket endured heavy rain and wind like a champ. Its not as insulationg as my north face one and when it gets colder than 5 degrees it gets chilly in the W101. But overall, it became my favorite jacket very quickly. So I'd say it's very worth the money (and shipping taxes) even so sometimes it really does look like a cheaper acronym.

[@Fearlesskirii]

me too i have that jacket as well! i love it and the w110J as well. Sadly i bought the w120-J hunter shell mk2 and i didnt realize it was oversized so currently have an unused Large size w120-J Hunter Shell mk2 (trying to sell it) cant return it since i got it from a sale :(. I also own 2 orbitgear pants and love both the explorer and w031-p crop pant as well

[@ooldmka]

How about breathability in summery rainy weather? Are u currently wearing it or is it to hot rn?

[@milanfrydecky]

Got myshelter an year ago for great deal like 70% off. Its one size bigger than other adidas jacket and even then its oversized but i was aware from reviews and ordered correct size. Its not really breathable, it doesnt withstand heavy rain either, collar is really high, bottom is way too open so it doesnt protect you well against wind, inside pocket is too small for many current smartphones. Its definitely city jacket not something you want to wear outdoors. BUT I love the looks, it does look modern, technical, futuristic with cutouts at the bottom and braces, it works great especially with cargos and other rather loose fitting pants. It has plenty negatives I still dig it and would buy it again.

[@RAZORBBQ]

Would love to see you review some more of orbits gears clothing, specifically their cargos, and how they look in different fits.

[@Sc_rp__n]

I've got the W120-J, I've had it for nearly a year now and I can say for what it's worth its a good jacket. I'd rather get this over the #techwear stuff or something that is ridiculously expensive, might say its an acronym clone but if you want an acronym jacket but cant afford it this is a great alternative as it provides the looks and similar functionality.

[@ThisIsAntwon]

Nice, glad you like it!

[@R8Prototype]

I like the way the W120 looks on the body versus the cut of the myshelter. Own a W110 so biased, but now that it's light winter here with more winds and ice than snow, I find it actually quite nice to layer over my RAB microlight alpine puffer so I get the warmth and wind/water resistance. The hood seems to be be different than the 120 as I can comfortably wear two hoods whether it's a hoodie or other mid layer hood with the orbitgear hood no problem

[@sinspawn]

I need recommendations for a affordable jacket for freezing winters in the techwear design.

[@shertin3922]

I've never been this early to an Adidas video! I'd personally go for the W-120 over the my shelter. The list of fun features is too tempting for me.

[@ThisIsAntwon]

Team early boyeeee! Thanks for the comment 🙏

[@ProFunctionist]

I ended up picking up the Adidas rain jacket (although the non-Parley one you showcased as it was sold out) based on your video. It was a lot nicer than I expected it to be AND it was on sale for £110 (from £170). I still find the oversized styling a little weird (especially the lower shoulder seams) but was pleasantly surprised it had a double zip. Overall, WINNING!

[@bjamofficial]

Get out of my head ANT. My Orbit Gear 'wearables' just shipped, I had decided to give a couple pieces a shot. I like the company, and the two I picked up use textiles that Orbit designed and had manufactured in Indonesia. (elecorFREE offer advanced technical properties like Quick Drying, Moisture Wicking, 4 Way Stretch, Abrasion Resistance & Water Repellent) Both in a light green I grabbed the W200-J "OV Spear Noragi" and W011-P "OV Explorer Pants". That said I purposefully chose two pieces that looked unique. A lot of their clothing looks like ACR lite and honestly the pieces I picked up are intended to supplement the few ACR pieces I do have.

[@jester8838]

8:35 same issue with the 103 quick release Ma-1 jacket from uniden

[@alextilica8165]

Got both of them. I bought the myshelter for about 80 euro last year and got a W110-J last month for $150. They are sooo different which makes it hard to compare the two. Love them both though. Regarding the down-sides that you mentioned in the video: The adidas jacket that I got is all gray so no problems with lots of typing on it. Clean look, amazing boxy silhouette, you can find it a lot of times heavily discounted. It's super easy to recommend. On the other hand, my orbit jacket has a detachable hoodie and it sits perfectly on my head, not dragging the shoulders. Also when it's on my back it keeps a very neat shape so I'd say orbit did a very fine job with the way they designed it. The fixed hoodie you got doesn't seem to be on the same level with the detachable version. Getting the adidas it's definitely more convenient and cheaper(often on sale) as you can find at lots of retailers in europe. But the orbit jacket is sooooo worth it honestly! Even though it will end up being more expensive as you'll need to deal with import taxes, I'd recommend to give Orbit a shot. I also own an R-201 from them and they're both top notch.

[@hazonku]

The W230 is VERY much "We have Acronym at home." But at that price & quality it's definitely worth it if you're all in for the aesthetic. That said like the just straight up function over form of the MyShelter. Reminds me of my Army Gortex I was issued but without all the extra space to fit over gear & helmets. I don't mind Orbitgear ripping off Acronym's design language but it's very much, "Sure copy my homework. Just change it up a bit." I'd love to see them do something in a similar design language that's all their own.

[@jackyllhuy4978]

I actually prefer Orbit Gear jacket than those Nikelab ACG. They're more bulletproof and form fitting

[@Rainb0y2kold]

I own a Orbitgear jacket too and I really like the jacket. It wasn't that expensive but is not cheaply made. I like the features of the jacket and it looks good. I just think it's a shame that they don't really have their own design language, cuz most of the hate comes from people that say that orbitgear is just acronym cope. I understand that but not everybody has the money for a acronym jacket. I like my jacket but I think the people would accept Orbitgear way more if they stay with their current features but change the design

[@axguo2k]

Would love to see you review the OrbitGear Spear Noragi! (I've personally got a W110-J MK2 and the Olive Spear Noragi on the way.) Maybe you can negotiate for OrbitGear to send you one of those to review as well?

[@yingkaik]

[@mcdazzzles]

Can you layer with the W120? For example wear a light puffer coat underneath it?

[@martingrdan5475]

I own a myshelter jacket, but I am not a big fan of a really tall neck collar since is rises above my chin, does anyone have any solutions to that? I tried to "roll" it into both inside and outside directions but the material is a bit too stiff to stay in place I figured, maybe get it to a tailor to shorten it so it lays under my chin?

[@mvargast]

Great use for techwear: Raves. Seriously, they should start focusing techno and festival lovers 🤘🏼

[@catmandu5226]

I've had Orbit's W110-J BK for about a year now, and i really like it honestly, I usually alternate between wearing it, or Riot Division's Ultimate City Jacket depending on what i'm doing. The 110's got a lot of similar features that the W120 has, but the hood is actually detachable. I usually stash the hood in a messenger bag, and wear it open like a bomber jacket with a uniqlo hoodie underneath it. Has that futuristic look, but also gives it a bit of an urban grungy vibe imo.

[@Eirik_Bloodaxe]

I’m biased to Adidas, but ACRNYM at home is fine too, since I’ll probably never afford the real deal lol. Also I actually finally saw someone with the XGXF Land Combat Groud jacket irl. I cracked up so hard.

[@corvae3]

Although I don't own this exact orbitgear jacket, I have purchased a jacket from them before; the w201-J cordura overshirt. Although it could be considered more on the affordable side, I honestly regret spending so much money on it. Initially, all the cool features and materials and everything really appealed to me, but after wearing it for a while i just didnt like it all that much. From the second time i used the jacket strap the fabric loop inside the jacket that the strap connected to just came clean off, it wasnt sewn securely in the slightest. I found this to be the case with a lot of the other random features too, they feel like orbitgear are just trying to fill their jackets with cool looking features without making sure they really work right. That experience, along with the huge amount of customs tax I had to pay for it just made me really regret the purchase. I do own an orbitgear messenger bag which i LOVE so i know they do their bags right, i just dont think I'll be buying or recommending any of their clothing items any time soon

[@ThisIsAntwon]

Ah that sucks about the jacket! I haven't seen any issues construction-wise like that but I definitely agree with your overall sentiment on features being prioritised.

[@geth6774]

Have u tried contacting them? Their customer service is great and will do repair for it. I own like 4-5 orbit jackets including the cordura u mentioned never have that kinds of problem tho. Their built is durable

[@corvae3]

@Geth you're right! Its honestly my fault for not contacting them about this. The orbitgear team actually reached out to me after seeing my response to apologize and replace the jacket. I'm honestly really impressed by their response, and I should have just gone to them first about this 😅

I just bought the adidas jacket following your recommendations. I didn't buy the exact same model but the more recent version i believe ( MYSHELTER PARLEY RAIN.RDY) which was also on sale ( 140€). And they corrected some down side that you mentioned. They added a second zip to open from the bottom. Also one of the interesting point that i don't remember you mentioning is the ability to fold the hood which is something that i always search for in a anorak. Anyways glad i followed your recommendation. Best regards

[@pimphandduke8447]

I'll share my experience with the Orbitgear W120-J. I bought it about a month ago when it came back in stock. The fit and the aesthetic are nice for the price point ($150 on sale+shipping). The hood design is lacking in terms of stowage. If you don't want the hood on the outside of the jacket, your only option is to fold it down against the back of the collar, which is not the best in terms of storing it. There's no way to secure it in place under the collar. It would've been far better if they'd had a zippered pouch in the back of the collar so the hood could be rolled up and stored in there. By far though, my biggest disappointment with the W120-J is that after having it for only a month and not having worn it more than 4 times, today the main zipper tape on the right side suddenly frayed at the hem line and separated from the seam. This happened right above the secondary zipper pocket on the right side of the jacket. Its the kind of fraying that is only going to get worse, and I'll need to look into having the zipper replaced, which I suspect is going to probably cost me as much or more than what I paid for the jacket to begin with. When you consider that the W120-J retails for something like $230 new, a main zipper failure in less than 5 uses is unacceptable. Compared to the 5.11 Approach jacket, which retails for $210 (Currently $174 at the time of this posting) you're getting a much better technical garment. The W120-J does not have taped seams inside while the Approach jacket does. You will be sacrificing much of the pseudo-Acronym aesthetic with the 5.11, but you'll still get many of the same features with better implementation. The Approach jacket also has two side zippers that run from the hem to under the armpit and clip fasten at the bottom, so you could use it in the same way to slip a bag under the jacket. The seams on the Approach jacket are all fully taped where the W120-J's internal seams are not. My biggest gripe about the Approach jacket is the size of the hood, which seems to be sized to fit over a ballistic helmet and is absolutely huge on its own, tho this does get a little more manageable if you have a hat on under it. TL;DR If you want that Acronym inspired aesthetic at an affordable price, get the Orbitgear W120-J. If you want a solid bit of technical fit minus the aesthetics get the 5.11 Approach jacket.

I had the W110-J Uranus colour changing jacket. The sizing just didn't work for me. The arms were too short and the hood wasn't for me at all. I loved the design and the features, however the fit was off. Maybe if I sized up it would have been better, but don't think that would have solved the hood issue. What I found frustrating was Orbit Gear cargos are some of the best fitting and comfortable cargos I own. They really are very very good. So I was really disappointed in the jacket. I would like to get a W120 in the future in elecor fabric but would have to size up.
