I might just have to try that. I've been kinda iffy on grabbing another ACR jacket, especially due to the cost and risk of not getting the right size. Vailance would definitely be a hell of a lot easier due being in the US and all. Definitely gonna try this route first once winter comes around. Thanks! 

theres an XL mionn is hoodie on sale here: https://www.thedarksideinitiative.com/collections/arcteryx-veilance 

WTB: LA6-DS XL

yeah really hard to justify purchasing shades at that price without being able to try on. pants/jackets are one thing and easier to get right but shades are more of a nuanced fit.

possible backpack here?

10.17.18

WTB: p24-S black . M or L should work

really curious about that thermaltech fabric. like what does steel cloth feel like? wish i could see it in person

chicken little 

this mans a billionaire but still getting a free water cup to fill up with lemonade. never to rich to try and save $$

theres a couple pieces but a countdown for when they'll be released, so not available to buy until about 7 days from now.

anyone tried ironing Stotz to reactivate DWR as stated on the label?

Acquired some Grangers and Nikwax - getting ready to wash my j1a-gt for the first time. going to follow these procedures (plus remove jacket sling & loosen draw cords on hem and hood) :

Any other sage advice? Should items be washed separately? What fabrics can be machine vs hand washed. Dryer vs. hang dry? Grangers for everything? Nikwax on only GT? Best practices to reduce the amount of fading?

EDIT: thanks @CARLOOA for the following:

How do I wash this stuff?

As a general best practice with performance technical fabrics:

1.    Run the clean cycle on your empty washer.

2.    Double rinse your washer if it’s old. Fabric softener and harsher chemicals can negatively affect material performance.

3.    Use technical fabric wash if possible, otherwise use a water based detergent.

4.    Zip up jacket and turn inside out to prevent buttons getting fucked and run not on hot.

5.    Double rinse.

6.    Hang dry.

7a.    If you’re experiencing wetting out (when the water doesn’t bead), you may need to reactivate or redistribute DWR, keep inside out and tumble dry low heat or iron on low.

7b.    If you’re experiencing wetting out still, you may need to reapply the DWR. if using spray, remove from washer, apply liberally, tumble dry if needed (some sprays don’t require heat to reactivate). If you used 2 in 1, tumble dry if needed.

What I do—YMMV:

Sell before you wash it, duh. Just kidding:

For jackets: single wash cold, double rinse.

For S/CH: single wash gentle cycle, no spin—don’t really want premature abrasion though generally these fabrics are pretty hardy. Manufacturer says proprietary coatings. DWR reapplication should be fine. I use a steamer to get the wrinkles out after air drying.

For DS: single wash cold, double rinse. Manufacturer says proprietary coatings. DWR reapplication should be fine.

For GT/WS/S: Everything is DWR'd, this is a coating on the face fabric that allows the water to bead out. With abrasion this comes off, to reactivate wash, reapply, and depending on what DWR, tumble dry or iron. I use Grangers.

For PB: since no outer fabric and no DWR is used no tumble drying or DWR is needed.

needs a DEEP BUTTERæ port towards the bottom

At this price point ACRNM should include fabric matched patches, uncovered hook and loop gets nasty. There are, however, plenty of kewl morale patches to fit the bill...

maybe they should make a giant sized force lock with bigger magnets so ear buds actually stay connected

Also, spec sheet lists 8 pockets? Is the goofy little corner thing in the front hand pockets considered a separate internal pocket?

Yeah I think those are the "deep" pockets or whatever they're called. SS17 ACG cargos have em too. 

Try the front of your left pocket. There should be another pocket exactly like the phone pocket on outside right leg. At least that's what I discovered on my p23ts

^ no belt loops on the p23a-ds

WTB: LA6-DS or LA7-DS in XL

Discount code not applicable at hotoveli for acronym. Shoulda figured. Oh well still got my item

still an SM1-AM at haven

hotoveli seemed to have the best prices. plus got my 10% discount for subscribing to their news letter. missed out on the ng7-ps pre order tho. shit went fast but still got my j58

Not keen on those silver zips on the trousers they aren't the p23a-ds are they?

Looking forward to seethe collection, not that I can buy anything this season mind.

Nope. Regular fly 

the images have been on subnet for months so i wouldnt consider it an indicator of imminent release

the j-64ts is built as a liner - neck zipper/sleeve tabs. also re-release of j-58 as well as a short sleeve version (j-65ws) so there will be plenty of layering options if they all make it to the FW release

Just got the cargos in black. Was worried they'd be way too big - size L and I'm usually 32" waist. They work, especially after being used to fucking huge p-23's. the belt loops are also pretty big too which is good for cobra belts. They are also one of the few pants that work well with DAF-1's. Any ide what the draw string on the cargo pockets are for?
