Episode 168 covers a big slice of the core TGN mindshare with a look at everything from the latest field watch from Victorinox to Leica cameras and a fascinating chat with the founder of a high-performance, avant-garde, and seriously cool clothing brand called Vollebak.

It’s a lume shot, but for a jacket!

Featuring a an interesting and wide ranging conversation with the co-founder of Vollebak, Steve Tidball, Jason and James explore the world of high-end performance wear when a brand refuses to follow convention and actively seeks to challenge the norms of how we all interface with our clothes - even those that glow in the dark!

I'll be honest; this was a lot more interesting that I'd expected. And it has me thinking.. maybe I only need a couple of pieces of 100-year gear and I can ditch most of my wardrobe. They do seem more designed for the tall, thin, outdoorsman rather than the short, stocky, kettlebell swinger. Ah well.

Great episode as always. I love this stuff. It's great to see people enter such a densely populated industry with a fresh take and really interesting products. That nomad hoodie looks amazing.
