Reaction Easter Sale

Reaction has an Easter Sale going on from the 19th, until the the 23rd of March. All items will be 50L or less, so a shirt, pants, and shoes set will definitely be under my weekly limit of $150L. The Alternation crew (Reaction, Reaction Girl, and WRONG) have a long history of generous freebies. Back around Christmas time last year, they released a series of daily gift freebies. In addition, the owner of Reaction, Radical Twang, was handing out gift cards up to $1500L for relatively minimal work. The giftcards were even more useful when the Alternation crew pulled a Crazy Day sale in early February, featuring prices as low as $3L for a shirt and $8L for shoes. Needless to say, I’ve picked up quite a few Reaction items over time.

Reaction is primarily a surf shop, so expect a wide variety of board shorts. In the picture to the left, I’m wearing the Skullies boardies with a black Rashie. All of Radical’s textures are created from scratch, and his detail work shines through. He’s managed to find just the right amount of shading and wrinkling so that his clothes look neither flat nor photo-sourced.

Reaction offers much more that swim and surf wear though. There is a full line of casual clothes, ranging from shirts and pants to hats, sunglasses, and shoes. On the right, I’ve paired his green rusted cargos with the Afterlife hoodie and Ace t-shirt. You can’t see most of the details on the cargos, since I’m sitting on the back pockets and the belt on the pants is under the hoodie, but its all there and done quite well. The tshirt is offered on both the shirt and jacket layer, allowing for both the tucked and untucked look. Most of Rad’s older shirts are bit flat texture-wise, but correspondingly are priced lower than his newer offerings. In fact, the rusted cargos and the Ace t-shirt are $150L together normally — even before sale prices — so I could have featured them here before. The Afterlife hoodie, however, is a bit a newer and bit more expensive. But, the scultpie hood in back and better texture work that come with Rad’s newer products definitely make it very tempting.

On my feet are Reaction Tide shoes. The shoes were one of the many Christmas freebies Rad handed out at the end of last year. Admittedly, they are normally priced a bit higher than I’d like at $199L — but that makes the sale an even better time to try to snag em. Since his last sale, Rad has released a new line of partially-sculptie Swish shoes that are similar but scripted to make resizing easier. I’m looking forward to picking up a pair soon.

My all time favorite Reaction product (other than the boards) are their flip-flops. Rad calls them thongs, but either way they’re among the best and most affordable flip-flops I’ve seen so far at $70L. In my first picture I’m wearing them in skunk coloring (white strap, black base) and in this last picture I’m wearing charcoal (charcoal strap, black base). They’re available in a handful of colors, with various colors combinations including White (white and white) and Swell Blue (cyan straps with brown base). I happen to wear my charcoal ones all over the place with a variety of outfits.

I mostly took the last picture to show off the thongs, but I’m also wearing two other Reaction favorites as well. I’ve got a white Stallie shirt and three quarter Razor shorts on. The Stallie shirt is jacket layer only, but you get the option of wearing it with or without a shirt underneath. The Razor shorts, on the other hand, are an older product that was another Christmas gift. It comes with two prim attachments for the legs, to make the rolled up look more realistic.

So head over to Alternation and check out the Easter sales there. Most of the Reaction products are sold with mod-trans permissions (but check the boards before you buy) so you can use em as gifts as well.
