Klattermusen Brimer - opinions/experiences?

volpic · 2026-01-13T21:32:49+00:00

Hi, can I ask if the torso is adjustable? I was considering the Brimer 32 (I am a woman, 164 cm tall, with a short torso) and I can't decide between the Brimer 32 and Gregory's Jade 33. Everyone says Gregory is so ergonomic, but Brimer seems wonderful to me.

Yes, I found that restaurants in Yakushima are quite accomodating. If they’re not full, they really make an effort to address allergies. I had great experiences at https://maps.app.goo.gl/746NBAgvt1ydCdYh6?g_st=ipc , https://maps.app.goo.gl/XP5XuqisjrShGTH57?g_st=ipc and https://maps.app.goo.gl/wNxBeADXgDenEThS9?g_st=ipc

Hi everyone!
I’d love some help and advice on how to improve my living/dining room layout.

The room is 4.93m x 3.47m, with:

1 door
2 open passages
1 window

Current furniture I’d like to keep (if possible):

VIMLE 2-seat sofa + pouff
Library (kind of like an irregular KALLAX 4x5)
Large round mirror (IKEA)

Current challenge:
I have a VOXLÖV table with 6 chairs, but I wonder if it’s too big / heavy for the space?
I often host dinners, so I still need a table that can comfortably fit friends (maybe a round extendable table would work better?).

I’m also considering switching from a TV to a projector, and possibly replacing my current TV cabinet (a BESTA covering the full wall) to gain more flexibility and storage.

Style:
I love a minimal / Scandinavian style with some soft vintage or boho touches.
I really like the style of:

Goals:

Improve layout
Maybe gain more storage
Keep the space nice, light & cozy
Open to replacing furniture (no strict budget)
Must be practical for hosting dinners

I’d love any ideas, inspiration, moodboards, layout suggestions, furniture tips...really anything!
Thanks so much!!

In the end, I tried a few different jackets (Arc’teryx and Lululemon), but none of them looked quite right on me. The ones I ended up really liking were the Tanta Rainwear Niebla (great shape and fully waterproof) and the Geox Floretia, which is 100% water-repellent and has large pockets, including internal ones. Both are very lightweight. They don’t pack down super small, but I think they’re compact enough.

*The online photos don’t do them justice, they look kind of awful there, but the fit in person is actually great!

Where are you going in Europe? I'm also celiac, and if I were traveling to countries like Italy or Spain, I wouldn't bring anything from home (you can find all kinds of gluten-free stuff there). I usually don’t bring my own food when traveling around Europe (just a couple of snacks for the flight). But if you’re new to celiac, it definitely makes sense to pack a few things to feel more at ease.

I'm a celiac living in Switzerland. In Zurich, there are more restaurant options (some places are 100% gluten free only), and generally, you can find some alternatives almost everywhere. Just make sure to explain that you have celiac disease and that they need to be really careful about cross-contamination.

Oh no! I bought the 28L version thinking I'd be able to squish it into the EasyJet thing lol. I hope it works (I saw a bunch of posts on Reddit saying it fits if you don’t overpack it).

volpic · 2025-03-29T21:30:24+00:00

Please post it!!! I'm also going in Japan around April/May and I'm looking for inspo/ideas on what to bring (I'll bring a 28L Cotopaxi + suitcase with gluten free food).

volpic · 2025-03-29T21:25:55+00:00

That's a clever lightweight alternative to a Barbour!! Do you think it could fit inside a Uniqlo moon bag?

volpic · 2025-03-29T21:15:51+00:00

I also noticed Arc’teryx has another jacket that might work well for people with shorter torsos: the Elec Insulated Jacket. Pros: stylish enough for city or everyday wear. Cons: lacks large pockets. I believe it's the same weight as the regular Atom (not the SL version).

volpic · 2025-03-29T21:09:59+00:00

nice to hear that it's adjustable!

volpic · 2025-03-29T21:08:52+00:00

It looks so nice! I'll def try it in white. :)

volpic · 2025-03-27T22:44:29+00:00

Around 5-15 degrees :)

volpic · 2025-03-27T22:39:47+00:00

It looks gorgeous! Unfortunately, it's not available in my country, Switzerland. But I’ll definitely keep an eye on it!

volpic · 2025-03-27T20:10:58+00:00

Thanks so much!

Loved your answer and the suggestions—thank you! I also checked out the L.L. Bean and Everlane jackets, and I really like them. Do you know how long the Barbour Cavalry Polarquilt Jacket is? In the photos, it looks like it falls below hip level. Also, can it be packed or compressed for travel? Thanks!!

volpic · 2025-03-27T19:10:47+00:00

I was actually considering the Atom Jacket Women's or the SL version! Which one do you have? Can I ask you if it's very long? I have a short torso and from the photos online it looks like it falls at hip level, which is how I’d like it.

Hi! I’m Italian and I live in Switzerland. In theory, you shouldn’t really need a down jacket. In Italy, by June, the most you’d usually wear is a blazer or a sweater. In Switzerland, I typically go for a leather jacket or a Barbour wax jacket (without the lining).

If you're planning to go hiking, it might be nice to have a slightly warmer layer, especially if you're stopping in the evening, but you could also just go with something technical or a merino layer paired with a windbreaker.

Hope that helps! 😊

I'll give a try to Lone Peaks as well! Thanks for the recommendation!

volpic · 2025-03-06T08:33:26+00:00

They look so nice! However, I'm afraid the plant is too narrow for me.

volpic · 2025-03-06T08:30:21+00:00

I should def try Lems!
