Been a very good month for UP pieces. Managed to add both the LIFE and REM to my collection. And to celebrate , thought a proper all in one of my Urban Protection Collection would be in order. Can’t recommend these enough. They are iconic pieces that will never go out of style. And the indestructible dynafil will still look like the day they came off the factory floor.
Still for the HAMMOCK, VIEW, and YO…
LIFE - My current favorite of my UP pieces. Love the more military feel compared to the sci fi look that many of the other UP pieces have.
REM - Would have to say this is probably my least favorite of the UP pieces I have. It is quite cool that the piece transforms from a long coat to a short coat. And the mesh sleeve pocket can be very handy but the overall design just didn’t feel as special as the LIFE.
LIGHT - Definitely one of the most wearable of the UP range, but with out the torched attached the little details are easy to over look. The asymmetrical vertical zipper pocket with small compartments is a great feature. Like having cubby holes on a jacket.
METROPOLIS + UP HARNESS - This combo is by far my favorite of all my SI or CP pieces. Just wish i could find an occasion to wear it.
ATLAS - While alot of people like this piece since it is one of the most wearable. I actually find the ATLAS a bit on the boring side. Without the inflatable collar, this would look like a regular jacket.
SOLO - This is another one of those pieces I will probably never be able to wear out but still love it.
LED - This is an interesting one for me. dont think i could pull wearing it unless i went to a Star Trek convention, as the piece definately has a sci-fi future feel to it. But still a lot of great details and definately feel this is one of the more iconic of the UP range.

I love the last two!! Any idea how can I get my hands on the Metropolis + harness?
Amazing collection, you probably are the luckiest man alive. I’ve got an atlas but unfortunately the inflatable bladder/cushion is missing. I dont suppose you have a spare one? Or know where I might be able to get hold of one? Please drop me a line on iceberg_187@hotmail.com Thanks
Used to have several of the UP pieces. In retrospect with I’d bought LIFE. Much more interesting-looking jacket than some of the others.
I wore my REM jacket for years. Was a pain with the ‘tail’ of the jacket constantly falling down due to the weak velcro attachments.
Great article and photos! Many thanks. I was able to get Metropolis, Munch and Life in the past year and I also like LIFE the most!
