  1. Guys help. So on the acrnm website the J47A-GT pics have the forcelocks placed vertically. All the online websites have the J47A-GT shown with horizontal forcelocks. The non interops J47 has vertical forcelocks consistent on all the websites. Is this a flaw and was the model Errolson is wearing of the J47A-GT one of a kind?

  2. I doubt arc'teryx wants to go through recalling a bunch of jackets either. 

     

    the partition ar is listed as a nylon/cotton blend. it would make sense for the galvanic and partition to share the same fabric package. however, the cs rep who handled my replacement told me the new galvanic had a nylon face fabric. at any rate it wouldn't be the first time product descriptions on the site aren't up to date.

     

    I guess they must have just updated it. This makes me happy though.

  3. Pocket configurations look similar to the J38. Which tbh, is a pain to access. But enough with my negativity, ready for tomorrow.

  4. Does anyone know to get rid of sweat marks on my J32 GT?  I didn't even wear the jacket that often and these markings have built up. It doesn't happen on my other jackets which are hardshells just this one.

    The answer for me to remove any stains from Gore products (especially oil stains) is to use Shout Advanced Gel (formulated for set-in stains). Same thing happened to my J32. Got a majority of it out by doing this. 

     

    Spray the area with shout (while product is dry) directly onto the stain(s). Use a soft bristle brush to work it in (I just use a toothbrush). Make sure to completely saturate the stain with the shout. Wait for 15 minutes, and then re-apply the shout again and work it into the fabric. Repeat this at least 3-5 times. Let the shout stay in the fabric for 3 days (yes...3 days, as terrifying as this sounds).  After the longest wait ever, and before throwing it into the washer, spot clean the areas with the warmest water possible for your jacket and use a brush to work in your detergent (tech wash, nikwax, grangers, etc) into the area. Prepare your washing machine for heavy setting cycle and the warmest water possible and making sure to use some form of tech wash, and an extra rinse. After washing in machine, reapply spray-on dwr to the area where you cleaned considering the brush most likely wiped the area's DWR from existence (you could just dowse the whole jacket in dwr just for the hell of it). Set dryer cycle on medium setting for 35-50 minutes.

     

    Hope this can help get a lot of it out. Good luck.  

  5. If that green one is the new Node IS, it looks like the insulated shell from FW 2010 with the extra chest pockets, also....2-way zipper!? I hope these will be a feature in all their main shells.

  6. Does anyone have experience with maharishi pants? Looking for additional bottoms that could work with Veilance. I am interested in the MHI custom cargo pants, but the only ones available in my size are the jasmine scented ones...How strong is this "jasmine scent" and how are the materials and build of these pants any info would be much appreciated, thanks!

  7. If the tape comes off could you iron it back on?

    That's exactly what I did with my previous Alpha SV Jacket. Set the iron to permanent press, and applied pressure with the iron at the tape seam location, and it re-sealed.  

  8. Very dumb question. How do you delete posts on sufu? I am apparently blind and cannot see a "delete post" option or icon anywhere... Also, curious on the fit of the Cargo LTs, wondering if they have a similar taper, as the Voronoi.

  9. Really want to get a pair of Voronois and was comparing them to other "options". I was curious about the quality of Outlier, specifically the Slim Dungarees, and the Acronym P10-s. Anyone have any of these care to share about the quality and materials of these choices? They all have very different price ranges. And I am usually 27-28 pant size and thinking of getting the Voronois in 28.  

  10. Actually if I recall, I remember the main website having the items discounted about 3-4 seasons ago. I remember seeing the stealth pants at a cheaper price but not in my size. And I remember the sale went for just a weekend. But again, 3-4 seasons ago...
