Thanks! Yes, about half size looser than -S.

I received my P10TS-DS today and i feel like they fit the slimmest when compared to my P10-S, P10A-S, and P10-CH. YMMV, but as @CARLOOA pointed out to me, it could be that my -CH has stretched out.

Oh I didn't know there were size difference between the -S and -CH because both my P10s are -S. I'll take a picture later to show how much of difference. First thing that I noticed was I was able to zip without needing the DS stretch and my calves were not too constricted. Also, theres a lot of space around my thighs and quads.

The -CH definitely fits about 1/2 size looser than the -S (IMO). Gotcha, thanks for the info.

I just got my P10TS from idol brooklyn, I did a quick fit and its significantly bigger than my P10s from last year. The sizing is very similar with the initial issues of nikelab ACG woven pants.

How big of a difference are we talking about? Is it like the diff between the -CH and -S, or something more significant than that?

*migos voice* yuh yuh yuh yuh

To the dude that I was talking to at Darkside San Francisco on launch day - if those P25's dont work out for you i would love to take them off your hands.

^ same goes for anyone else i suppose! size S!

Water resistance hasn't changed with Stotz fabric thickness in my experience.  I've soaked through in pants and jackets, but also been dry in the rain.  As mentioned, it depends more on how recently you washed/ironed or reproofed.

Same experience, @solographik and @Voyager.  @nigel the pants are highly water resistant when brand new, yes, but a lot of that credit goes to the fresh DWR coating. After a few months and years that'll fade, and they will soak through pretty quick. 

The thing that I like about the stotz is that you can actually re-apply the DWR. The -CH and -DS fabrics seem to explicitly warn against this. That being said, even after a fresh application, they will soak through. I ride rain/shine, and can say pretty definitively that the pants are not meant to be worn in heavy rain. The -GT shells hold up fine, but as @exhaust fumes mentioned earlier, a rain suit will work much better.

You're wrong - Stotz Etaproof is very water resistant, never soaked through for me even in the heaviest rains. It does get wet on the outside, but stays dry inside.

The price difference between those zippers would be 50 cents max, it's nothing. 

Only that those waterproof zippers are a bit harder to open, but still would make more sense in that spot.

I dunno what your experience has been with heavy rain, but after a 10min bike ride in what. I consider heavy rain, my -s pants are all soaked through :p. Def wouldn't consider these "very" water resistant. 

TFW you realize the 3A-MK1s you just picked up don't fit on your P23s ;_;

^ Nope. there's Gore that looks exactly like the image on the left. Maybe Acronym doesn't use it, I'll check when I get home. But, I have a Veilance jacket with me right now that looks exactly like that and it ain't fake.

Might be a difference between regular GT and GT- pro which I think acronym uses

Yep. Gore-tex PRO w/ a micro-grid backer has a very specific pattern and look. Gore-tex makes a number of different fabrics/backers (windstopper, c-knit, etc) that have different looks and feels. I own a veilance piece from this season that has c-knit, it has a different weight and has more of a sheen. AFAIK all ACR hardshells are GT-pro or paclite, but could be mistaken.

Won't be surprised at all to be honest. This will actually be the third time I'm aware of.

Same exact thing happened with the Y-3 Pure Boost ZG Knits - they went from sitting on shelves to $900-1000 AUD overnight pretty much.

Had no idea that's what happened to the pure boosts. Thanks for the info!

If you're still looking for a DAF1 I would suggest buying now... prices are going to skyrocket if they go the same way as Prestos after this:

 

Haha it would be wild if the jerry-effect held true for a second time

P17-DS/CH variant, size small

Still looking . someone sell me their cool cropped pants.

Not a popular opinion but thought i'd share:

 

I think a lot of people are missing the point of the J58. Most people bought it as a stand alone bomber and are now disappointed about the elastic hem around the waist. 

 

I'm going to have to disagree with all of you. San Francisco is fucking freezing today and I tested it out zipping it into my J1A-GT for the first time. It's everything I thought it would be. Normally my J1A would have breeze coming in from the bottom which along with the breathable fabric of the goretex, i'd freeze my ass off.

 

J58 solved that problem. The elastic waist wraps around my body to trap warmth and because it's a tad cropped, my J1A can still have that nice drape at the bottom when i unzip the left zipper. I like putting my hands in my side pockets,  with just J1A it's a problem since i have a plus size phone and a wallet. Now I have all these extra pockets to put my shit in and still can keep my hands warm.

 

Personally i think the j58 - j1A combo is the epitome of functionality. You need to give it a chance. 

Wore mine out in SF yesterday well as a standalone piece. Held up well as I rode around the city.

Agree with your points about the waistband, it definitely helps keep my body warm, but it rides up a bit probably due to my body position on a bike. Either way, the more I wear it the more I like it.

WTB:

P17-DS/CH variant, size small

was able to snag a j58-ws even though i told myself i wasn't going to get it. anyone have theirs on hand and has a verdict on it?

I received mine today and am _slightly_ underwhelmed. 

first impressions: really, really fucking warm. material is "poofier" than the stock photos suggest. for $900 i would have expected a bit more - i understand that this is a liner, but i wish the zippers were taped, etc. 

i have an arcteryx atom hoody, and this one is definitely warmer and looks cooler. dunno if it's 2x the cost cooler though, heh.

Yes this happens occasionally. Will be refunded

ahhh - that's super lame! thanks for the insight

Hm - just received a cancellation notice on a pending order despite getting payment confirmation ~20 minutes ago. Money has already been debited from my account though. Anyone have a similar experience?
