The Extreme Cold Vapor Barrier Boot. Originally designed during the Korean War for extremely cold weather. Rated for −65 °F. Not the best for way up north in dry conditions.

Every time I read through the Cav Empt interview, This plays in my head.

When you want to teva but you're a wee bit different.

Good reference for what to look for when buying a Stone Island piece. Its older, but if you're buying a vintage piece, its 🔥🔥🔥

Not sure if you would call this 'Proto-Gorp' as the outdoors and technical wear have always existed, but this is a pretty sick magazine showcasing a collection of vintage military refrence and stone island archival gear. It aged very well. Theres a really cool write up with Ryo from Hender Scheme and an Arc'Teryx Veilance piece. Theres a great Cav Empt interview with Toby and Sk8thing. Lots of magazines from the early to mid 2010s look pretty dated. Either extremely hypebeast or like dapper bruno mars core type vibes.
