The eight festival fashion tribes you'll see all over Glastonbury this year
Do you hear that? It's the sound of everyone in east London tightening the strings of their Salomon XT-6 trainers, ready for festival season. In case you aren't familiar with the concept of gorpcore, gorp derives from the 'Good Old Raisins and Peanuts' trail mix snack, and gorpcore is the kind of clothing you'd wear on said trails. Arc'teryx, North Face, Maharishi, Gramicci. It looks a little silly on the streets of London, but it actually doubles up very well for festival gear. Fred Again and his fishing vest may have been right all along. Handily, you can adopt this style for free by nabbing your uncle's old North Face. Voila!

Woman in charity shop overjoyed by what she pays for jacket worth £300
A savvy shopper couldn't believe their eyes after spotting a designer jacket on sale for an unexpected price in a popular charity shop - but it wasn't plain sailing to be able to buy it A lucky shopper managed to bag a designer jacket for an astonishingly low price at a charity shop - despite staff's objections. The bargain hunter ventured to popular US chain Goodwill, which boasts over 150 outlets across the US and Canada. Like similar charity shops in the UK, the organisation aims to offer "hundreds of thousands of unique items up for grabs at any given time, including art, books, vinyl records, clothing, home décor, jewellery, musical instruments, sports, toys, and more" at discounted prices. One shopper was stunned when they came across a jacket by Canadian apparel brand Arc'teryx. Known for its focus on outdoor gear and accessories, Arc'teryx was "founded on the idea that there is always a better way". The brand is renowned for its high-quality technical equipment for Alpine sports and mountaineering, offering a decent selection of high quality outdoor essentials such as the brand's popular waterproof Gore-Tex shell jackets, as well as its down-filled parkas, insulated gilets, knitwear range, and much more. The brand's jackets are usually priced between £240 and upwards of £500. Yet, one shopper was astounded to find a red puffer jacket on offer for a low $3.50 (£2.59). Posting on Facebook, the happy budget shopper shared several photos of the jacket, which appeared to be a medium size for adults, and penned: "Goodwill tried stopping sale when they realized". They added: "Easily one of my better clothing finds at Goodwill and I wish I took a pic of the tag because it was literally priced at $3.50." They then claimed "the cashier and manager" tried "every trick in the book to deny the sale" after realising the item "was never meant to be on the shop floor", yet it seems the persistent shopper triumphed, walking away with the jacket for a mere $3.50 (£2.59). They also quipped that the original price tag of $380 (£281) for the jacket "brand new" was "criminal". In the response section, Facebook users voiced their opinions. One person asked: "What did you say to each of their attempts? Need to learn those tricks". Another shared: "I refuse to shop [at] Goodwill". And a third commented: "Nothing wrong with giving more people jobs by not letting resellers hit up Goodwill and make off like one armed bandit slot machines. "I can't stand resellers, but it's probably because I haven't been successful at it. "Some always seem to get the best things [in] certain places making them not worth anyone's while to shop there for things to resell from my experience. "They have to have an 'in' at these places - some it's obvious they do." They added: "Goodwill is supposed to be where people who can't afford things new can buy them gently used for their own personal use. That's what I always thought anyway. "It's anything but that, with those that buy from there to resell."

Robotics, Ergonomics, AI: A New Exoskeleton Powering Your Outdoor Adventures
Hypershell X enables you to go further and explore more through their state-of-the-art robotics, ergonomics, and AI. Exoskeleton technology, which helps to power hikes and adventures in the outdoors, isn't entirely newfangled. Skip magically partnered with Arc'teryx to create MO/GO, which integrates the special technology into a line of slick pants that they're calling 'movewear'. For MO/GO, which stands for 'mountain goat', the pants use sensors and AI to detect movement in real-time. The cost to consumers for this technology? $5,000. Another brand, however, offers parallel help for everyday explorers who want to adventure in the outdoors, but need a little support, at a more affordable cost. Like an e-bike for hikers and walkers, Hypershell X, which begins at $999 for the Hypershell GO X and goes up to $1,799 for the Hypershell Carbon X, has made innovation a part of their ethos in the field of exoskeletons with the goal of enriching people's experiences in the outdoors. While Hypershell X was founded in 2021, it wouldn't be until 2024 when the company would successfully kick off mass production and delivery. Earning the Best of Innovation award in the robotics category at CES Innovation Awards 2025 would come next. Partnering with global nonprofits and rescue organizations, Hypershell X has made it a priority to keep sustainability and equity at the forefront. Minimizing environmental impact is a direct part of the company's philosophy. 'With expertise in mechanical design, motion algorithms, AI, and embedded systems, Hypershell X is redefining exoskeleton technology. By combining innovation with human-centered design, Hypershell X strives to enhance mobility, amplify human potential, and integrate exoskeletons into everyday life for a more sustainable future,' an official report says. The sleek and lightweight design is easy to wear and move in. Unlike MO/GO, a pair of pants with the technology inserted on the inside, Hypershell X has two cuffs that go around the thighs and one brace that attaches at the waist, all to be worn on the outside of your hiking pants or tights. Lightweight, ergonomic, relatively quiet, and easy to wear, the Hypershell X will have you up and out quickly no matter where your adventures take you. Adapting to your every movement, precision sensors perform smart calculations as you move in real time. The good part: the more you wear it, the better it learns and works for your specific body and gait. The rechargeable battery lasts for an elongated time and functions even in colder temperatures. Utilize the Hypershell X when you go on walks or hikes, especially if there is incline or decline involved. You could also use this tech for walking up and down stairs or while exploring various destinations on vacation. The technology will give you a little boost, helping you on your way. Adjustable to work for various sizes and shapes, the Hypershell X is appropriate for most bodies. When you're finished, you can collapse the pieces and store away in its handy case until you're ready to use it the next time. Join American Hiking Society for National Trails Day on June 7, where volunteers will hit the trails to maintain and clean up the outdoor spaces that are important to so many. Hypershell is offering each person who registers a $20 coupon and a chance to win a free Hypershell Pro X.
