  1. any guesses as to what the function of that heel piece is, if any? i’d really like for it to serve a purpose beyond just design feature. also would be great if it was a recycled plastic. 

  2. can anyone show some detail of the p38-E ankle zipped with and without shoes on? curious about just how narrow / compression like the ankle gaitors get and how thin they are, it looks like they used different material on the DS version.. is it the same as on the GT? Look like they could be very different

  3. does anyone ever actually use the gravity pocket? even the smoothest demo requires an aggressive karate chop.. ya'll doing that at the cafe register?

  4. missed the boat. p38-e want. will keep an eye for retail restock info but not optimistic. have p23ts-ch to offer up as well. posted in both threads sorry for being a pest 

  5. i know what you mean, but p24a-s is the greatest trou i'll probably ever have. easily my most prized soft good. i'll never sell.

    i just sold J61-gtv. loved the drama of it and it fits so well - when there is no insulator. i put it on when i took it out to photograph.. slaps. but anything heavy underneath - a sweatshirt, acr insulator etc. the cut goes from incredibly flattering to wow u should sell your dumb pricey techwear and get a gym membership. i couldn't justify keeping it when it lacked the versatility I wanted. rare are the days where i live when it comes down hard enough to warrant a trench but mild enough to get away without an insulator. i actually don't own any acr shells anymore which is strange. 

    my tastes are changing but nobody makes pants that even close to this bald mf's so i'm sticking around. 

    does anyone know anything about these p38's? i'm awfully curious. prob gonna sell p23 and get a pair if they end up being what I wanted my p26's to be. info on them would be hugely appreciated. 

  6. have a jacket, listed for a long time; been bagged and out of site. then someone asks you for pictures as a buy inquiry. you take it out and decide you’re in love with it again. 

     

    anyone else?

    If we all typed like chefs I would say the J28-WS is FUCKING RAW. But then it would be full of low-effort one-liners each trying to outdo the last -- fucking childish.

    You know that unsaid rule among cool kids in school about "act like you don't care and you'll seem cool"? What do you think ACR appeals more to, the cool kids or the math geek? Being a fan of William Gibson's Neuromancer that should answer itself, shouldn't it?

    I love the detailed reviews here. Keep them coming and never stop. One day I'll get my jacket and I'll make a review here myself. 

    Thanks for telling us what ACR means to you. Do you think Errolson would approve? I'm not his biggest fan but I'm sure he'd take that as an insult. As would many here who take this seriously as a hobby. 

    Some people have to write a lot of papers for their career, some don't (including chefs). Antagonizing them for writing in a way they're comfortable in is selfish and divisive. If you can't read, don't read. Or learn how to speedread, as any grad student would know it's an invaluable tool whether you're in school or not. 

    Clothing and consumer technology are not unrelated. Especially when ACR has a section dedicated to "Fabric Technology" on every piece. New features and pocket arrays touch the same bases as ergonomics for phones which is impossible to gauge without retail stores where you can try them on. 

    TL,DR: high function and high prices require detailed reviews, if you don't take it seriously don't force others to do the same.

    everytime this dude posts, i can't be the only one

    As someone who grew up working at Pogo, it is so wild and wack that Revive carries Acr, I still cannot get my head around it in the slightest

    revive is very different now. its not a sneaker consignment shop anymore lol. they are an official retailer of a lot of high end brands. carried vis for a long time, but not anymore unfortunately. got some killer deals when that stuff went on sale.
