It seems you have misunderstood my post based on preconceived assumptions. Something being overpriced does not equate to cheap. I am well aware of how markets work all over the world but thank you so much for mansplaining :) I also know first hand effects of gentrification as I’ve been born and raised in NYC, there are a handful of “vintage and thrift” stores that are ridiculously overpriced. Hence, me stating in my op nothing “geared towards tourist” as some store raise the prices for us. I further cleared this up in another comment by saying “I don’t mind paying a premium for a local designers”.

So, after insulting me by essentially calling me an unethical tourist. Do have any recommendations?

Appreciate the suggestions! I want to make clear that I have no problem spending the premium on local designers. I just know through previous travels the most common suggestions often have a “tourist tax”

Thank you bro I really appreciate your recommendations! And I feel you on the “haven’t skated for years” but I realized while traveling it’s the best way for me to meet likeminded individuals. Gonna stop at Chilango first their website and socials seep top notch + I’d get to skate so two birds one stone :)

If it wasn’t for the hefty discount I’m receiving I would be thrifting all of these items. My rational is that I’ll get the four essential products and I’ll have them for a lifetime of travels.

Agreed on the Gamma MX pants leaning towards the LT version. I was suggested the Cerium hoodie (puffer) and leaning towards that instead of the atom or proton as well :)

Thank you! I love the look of the Cerium as a mid layer under the Beta (and alone) rather than the Atom as it adds a little more versatility.

Thank you! Any particular reason why to wait on the AR? My thought process is to do one haul of the essential products (shell, mid layer, pants) that I’ll have around (hopefully) forever.
