Jöttnar
Technical clothing for the adventuresome individual. As stated; "We’re lifelong mountaineers, climbers and skiers, and that DNA runs deep in the company. We run Jöttnar, we design the gear ourselves and we personally test it.
We don’t follow fabric trends and we have no need to follow retail trends. We design the gear we want to wear. Our professional athletes then help us test it to destruction."
Vivobarefoot
Minimalist shoes that let your feet do what they were made to do. Simple. I've owned a pair of Vivo's for over 6 months now, whilst they took some getting used to, they're my "go-to" shoe for everyday movement. As well as much more.
"Through wearing shoes that follow the shape of the foot and allow you to move naturally we can reclaim our feet and reconnect with what makes us human. Make your next steps matter. Think feet first. Un-f**k your feet."
The Foot Collective
If you're into Vivo, you'll be all about these dudes.
"We’re a global community of health advocates on a mission to help humans reclaim strong, functional and painfree bodies starting from the foundation. Our goal is to empower people with the knowledge they need to protect their bodies from the dangers of modern life and provide simple guidance on restoring functional, painfree and resilient bodies from the ground up."
In short; Dudes helping to spread factual information around pain, movement, and poor lifestyle choices that lead to chronic pain.
I bought their 2019 6-hour seminar that changed the way I looked at all of the above. 10/10, highly recommended.
The Bike Shed
Based in Shoreditch, London, The Bike Shed has been the adopted HQ of DEVSOC for the best part of a year. HoH has a membership and frequents this awesome place as much as he can. Great coffee, great people, great community.
"Since it’s inception in 2011, the Bike Shed has been a place of Common Ground, where people from all walks of life come together to share their passion for two-wheels, whether they ride a motorcycle or not. Within our community we also have a motorcycle club, for riders, but you do not have to be a member or a rider to enjoy our hospitality and unique experience."
12/10, so much time for TBS.
Check 'em out here. Caution, all the vibes exist here.
Many More...
There's a ton more, but we'll save those for later. Too much of a good thing is bad for the soul, so we've been told.
Check out the above dudes, they're worth your time.

Thumbs up for Jottnar. I wear a Jottnar hardshell on the hills, and their base layers under my jumpsuit Skydiving in the Autumn/Winter, awesome kit.
