  1. did acr change the type of fidlocks used over the years?

    so the old harness i have from the s-j14 has the old fidlocks that have printed "fidlock patented" on it...

    like this one:

    i recently bought a 3a-wk2 keychain holder which appears to be a similar, but different kind of magnet

    like the current model on the website: http://www.fidlock.c...sse/slider.html

    picture:

    used interchangeably with each other, they will "click", but the magnets don't really attract each other in the same way

    thus, they are not truly compatible....

    the 3a-wk2 keychain in older product photos has the "old style" fidlocks too, but the new ones are "blank"

    anyone know more detail? are these even the same models?

    It sounds like if you have both and they aren't mating apporpriately and look a little different then they must be different models. Probably wouldn't be too difficult to order the new fidlocks and have them stitched in to your old suspensor so you can use your new keychain.

  2. How much wear have you put on that on that one since purchasing it, trying to get an idea of how they'll fare with wear and tear.

    I've had it for a couple years and worn it quite a bit. It fares well out and about in the rain, I'm not super hard on this one though. It is the most wearable ACR fabric in my opinion so it gets more use than the others. The front pocket started to separate so I just had it restitched/reinforced. I have a GT-J16 that I'm pretty hard on and in general have found all of ACR's stuff to hold up well to abuse.

    I broke the escape zip on my S-J1A aggressively escaping, and ACR was unresponsive on the warranty end, so I ordered some escape zips of my own.... I also got some in white, what do you guys think? Should I stick with black or switch to white? I ordered quite a few, so if anyone else finds themselves in a similar predicament PM me, also if you want to add this style zipper to your jacket a tailor can swap them for you assuming they are the same length. I got some glow in the dark zippers that are pretty sweet too... Thanks for any input.

  4. Can owners of the DS-SL1 sleeves advise just exactly how they measure for the fit ?

    I can see the measurements on the ACR website however where on your arm exactly would you guage to measure from.

    Thinking about getting these and perhaps modding a surplus jacket to wear them with as I cannot find the Olive EJ21 anywhere in the EU in XL and really do not want to be stung with import duties tax from N.America.

    I know it has been brought up before but I was wondering if Errolson is going to consider more Assymetric designs like the legendary Ws-J1A

    They just look so much more interesting from the point of aesthetics.

    Also a heads up on any stores with web presence on the EJ21 would be geatly app'd.

    I'd say measure somewhere around mid bicep. Mine start there and slip down a little depending on what I'm wearing underneath.

  5. Is there a 3a-9ts being released this go round? Any changes?? Also can anyone comment on this bag, is it more than just a tote bag? Thanks.

  6. It would be really nice to have somewhere to view a complete history of acronym collections. I know firmament has a lot of stuff still on the web if you know the model number and google it, but it would be great to just flip through an electronic lookbook or something, especially since I don't know all the model numbers. Anybody here able to put that together?

  7. I would be happy to proxy an item in the US, the guys at Darkside are pretty cool though, I bet you could shoot them an email and they would work it out for you.

    Thnx again, daniel!

    But: JP proxy send only in Japan and i didn't get how i can order stuff from Darkside without flying to SF directly (:

  8. Evo 4g fits great with the BR-P1, and the reason its a side pocket is so even if something is in there loose, it is unlikely that it will fall out.

    Oh yeah that was the second point! an internal pocket would be great. But hey there should be something left for a 2.0 version.

    The pocket on the BR-P1 is exactly iPhone 4 size, luckily I have one but I can understand why people would be very disappointed if they have any other phone because the fit will be too tight or too lose.

    I always have some trouble with decisions like those, on one hand i'm happy my phone always fits perfectly on the other hand you can't expect everyone to have an iPhone.

  9. dammit ,who was it?

    I could proxy Nau for anyone interested. I believe they do there sample sale/inventory reduction sale four times a year and is now in combination with products from Horny Toad.

  10. Can someone advise me on the Speedlock feature of ACR garments. It is pretty obvious that you can pull the black tab for a quick cinch, and it seems like you should be able to pull the olive green hang tags for a quick release. But pulling the green tags does not seem to be working for me, it seems like I am going to rip them off the jacket. Thanks for any input.

  11. Some of you fuckers are hypebeasty as shit. Especially setboy 1-4 up there.

    This is a stupid comment. Why are you even trolling this thread??? Props to setboy, way to be quick on the trigger!!

  12. Just got the new Kor water bottles in the mail. It's a water bottle, but not much more. The design of the lid on their original was a selling point, but these new ones, as I said, are just a water bottle. If you are looking for something in black, or any other color for that matter, check out hydroflask.com It is double wall insulated, so it will keep things cold or hot longer.
