Did you end up experimenting with this? It seems like a no-go, nylon will take acid dye with heat, but the required heat will weaken, if not remove, the seams. Thinking about trying to dye it warm, for a long time, but unsure if its worth the investment given that the fabric might get compromised (or shrunk).
Second note, really WTB size 28 voronoi terratex in Black (so I don't have to through all that)...please let me know if you're thinking about selling.
Pics here: A little hot topic vibe with the stitching... I did end up double dying them with an acid dye (that produces richer color on nylons), but unfortunately due to a slightly higher dye temperature this caused a little bit of lifting of a few of the seams, only on the outer tape––not the inner glue––notably the segment between the ripstop patch on the front crotch and the reinforcement at the end of the fly. Given the redundancy there, I'm not sure if this will cause blow-out in the long run but fair warning this process did slightly compromise integrity

I see some terratex pants on steep discount, but they are in the Duoro/red colorway. Do you think it would be possible to dye the terratex black?
If anyone is interested, this does indeed work. Was going to use acid dye, but had a rare period of calm so just went out and got some RIT synthetic dye (green, to counteract the red, and 2 graphite). Tried just keeping it 'warm' (around 120F) but the color wasn't taking. Upped the dye bath to 140-150 and the black came in, checked the seams throughout the process (as i was worried) and they didn't loosen under that heat. Stayed around that temp for 10 minutes, then turned the heat off and kept it in for roughly 30 minutes while the temp was between 120-130. Set the dye with vinegar and salt and they're now drying on the rack.
Only thing that is still "duoro" are the stitches on the belt loops and the zipper runner, which are either poly (i didnt go high enough, 200F, to dye poly) or cotton. As far as how well these will hold up is anybody's guess...but it is possible if anyone is interested. Total cost was 86$.

Say, how would one recognize the Terratex vs. the older material?
You can tell online by the grainier texture of the piece, and in person immediately because of the weight and feel (lighter, more crinkly), and then also the tag; 96% nylon 4% lycra/spandex.

Rapha has an additional 10% off sale items right now (Summersale10). Some good stuff in there.
Picked up the transfer jacket when it went on sale and that thing is great, super warm, lightweight, not the most packable, but definitely up for heavy wear both on and off the bike.

Bought from Tigerprawn last week - used, but in great condition - Hemmed to a 30" inseam (no extra material to let out)
Realized upon trying on that I prefer the cut of the slims - tried on in office and in house.
100 + s/h - just trying to make back what I spent.

Hey all,
Delete this if it's out of place, I've been lurking around this thread for a while - just wondering if anyone know where/how, or has, a vexed generation hoody they'd be willing to part with. PM me if you do.
carry on

Title says it all - let me know if you've got them to sell. Just saw these and fell in love but 375 w/ tax would make too big a hole in the wallet

What's the fabric content? If its just cotton you'll have a much easier time, as you can apply dylon via a washing machine.
