Battenwear has the best customers, seriously. In early December 2022, we asked you to send us pictures of how Battenwear plays a role in your daily commute.
Please see a selection of the many wonderful submissions below.
Thank you to every Battenwear-er. We could not do it without you!

Christian: "Here I am getting ready to head out the door to work on a chilly Utah morning. Wearing the travel parka and some climbing pants. Climbing pants are awesome year round but are especially nice in winter for their sweatpants-like coziness. The travel shell parka is just pure stoke/awesomeness I hope to give it to my daughter when she’s older."

Gabe: "I took a selfie on my ride into work Tuesday 12/20. It was -5 degrees with wind chill! Wearing the Travel Shell Parka and Eitherway neck warmer. Kept me nice and comfy on my way in."

Bryan: "The past year or so my go to outfit (it’s almost a uniform at this point) for making the large scale analog color photograms that were in my solo show in NYC this past spring, has been the active lazy pants and a terry cloth pocket t-shirt from Battenwear. It’s the perfect combo for the amount of comfort, movement, and durability I need in studio. It also doesn’t hurt that I can go straight from the studio to the market or out for a beer with some digs I feel stylish in."

Ben: "I’m a writer who works from home, but I’d like to submit my fantasy “battencommute” by bicycle - and then the tragicomic reality of my desk life . . . I can't imagine more comfortable writing clothes."

Luke: "I pretty much wear a batten top everyday. I have been using my new zip up hoodie as my go to for everything. I am really liking the fit and finding it a bit more form fitting than the batten pullover hoodie I have. Today I have my warm up fleece with an older batten puffer vest. A good set up with pockets wear you need em, especially for a walking commute."

Chris: "A very cold and frozen Saturday in Taplow village, Buckinghamshire, England as we head off for swimming lessons (with the perfect swim bag!) I’m a huge fan of what you guys do and your ethics as a company. Good quality clothing that is unique, functional and lasting yet also transcends trends and age groups AND is still super cool at any one time is a very hard thing to pull off!! But somehow you guys do it all and have created a lovely global community and following along the way. I don’t know another brand that does that."

Rafael: "This photo challenge was easy since I wear your stuff just about everyday :) The 777 is great for when the waves are flat, surf the streets"

We won't say Takashi is our most handsome friend, because we're surrounded by lookers, but he's our only friend to have worn Battenwear in an issue of Esquire.
