Did people really say that? That's honestly embarrassing and shows that the new market has started coming in.

Or it’s somebody trolling on that shit...

Ignore formatted wrong

Lots of irregularities overall. Shoddy stitching and seam work, and look at the ‘Gore Tex’ diamond on the interior- LOL worthy.

I just filed a complaint with eBay.

Took about three minutes.

More complaints would most likely speed up the removal:D

It already has. I love windstopper but it's not worth it at this price, a few hundred more dollars and you can possibly get the GT for resale.

Makes me wonder if ACR ordered too much WS and figured the most chased jacket would be a good way to get rid of it. 

Well I was just cursing myself for buying a new iPhone 8 and a custom PS4 controller, but after taking a good look nothing in this drop is really catching my interest. Not a fan of the pants, the J53 looks kinda cool but I’m not tall enough to pull off a trench. If the J47 was in  CH or stotz I’d have been a #brokeboi for the next few weeks gladly. 

@Keene thanks mate

Anybody  save any pics of the pants? I’m late to the party.

I don't think they are MHI. For their in store displays and stuff, I'm quite they use these; https://www.amazon.co.uk/MARUGO-Mens-Black-Cotton-Boots/dp/B007KZG1RY/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&qid=1502483394&sr=8-13&keywords=tabi+boots (Got it bookmarked, as it's been tempting me for ages. Just don't know if I can)

Though, one of the MHI guys said they were thinking about a collab at one point but cancelled it... maybe that changed

I stumbled across those a couple months ago but the the stupid ‘air’ window on the heels ruins it for me. 

Hilarious that @chunglove‘s only contribution to the community after getting dickslapped is to log on every couple weeks and neg rep for no discernible reason. Stay classy brah. 

@nesherman I think you just got flamed by a dust bowl era octogenarian

If only they weren't so expensive... 

Hah, you do realize this is the ACR thread right?

What’s up with the ridiculously high waist on those chinos? Looks like something a throwaway henchman on a boat in a 60’s era Bond film would be costumed in. 

I agree with you @junkie_dolphin. I’m at split odds honestly with this whole cultural appropriation concept. I feel it’s widely advertised by individuals who aren’t being subject to said appropriation and also aren’t subject to whatever ills that are entailed in said so called wrongdoing. There is a line that I haven’t seen yet, but I feel that appropriating is often mistaken for integration, celebration and acceptance of certain cultural features. There’s so many layers to the tech-ninj concept, and the origins their in. In fact the article even goes so far (IMO) in the first couple paragraphs to imply that the term Tech Ninja itself is bordering on racist. Which I find to be patently ridiculous. The amount of cultural influences inherent in the design of the many Designers mentioned, is either partially or completely unknown to us or the writer. In fact I’d go so far as to say the cultural influences that cause us to do and say the things in our everyday life are far to numerous and extant as a whole to reliably predict at times. The compartmentalization of every developing trend can be exhausting to the viewer and offtimes suffocating to the developer of said trend. Everything is under a brutal microscope nowadays. Sometimes for the very good. Other times for the very opposite. 

This article felt more like an assignation of guilt as opposed to a discussion on an ‘emergent trend’. Very disjointed, and reaches too far without a real focus. I kept scrolling down not realizing that said article had ended...? 

 Meh. 

WTB: Maharishi Custom Pant 6021 size medium in black or olive, excellent to new condition. 

Huh, the fine print on the main website last I checked said you had to have a valid service ID and they’d cut you off if they caught you selling to your bros or whatever. Maybe it’s only in the US or something stupid like that...

@Inkinsurgent I’ve been drooling over LEAF gear for the last year and half. Sucks that’s it’s Police/Military access only. 

@Cornuto Can’t say I agree on the wool insulation comment. But different strokes and all that...

 Funny you posted that link as I was researching the PCU system this past fall. Almost picked up some of the mid-layers. 

@KamikazeSave your cash and invest in a merino wool sweater, or merino/synthetic long sleeve. I wear a heavy duty LL Bean merino full zip sweater with my ACR shells and I’m good down to the low 40’s. When it gets a bit chillier I throw on a wool Filsons vest over the sweater, and when it’s stupid cold I wear a Tilak Poutnik powerstretch fleece as a base layer. I was just trudging through knee deep snow with high winds at 9 degrees Fahrenheit and was nice and toasty. Contrary to what was stated above merino keeps you warmer when wet than man made materials, which shouldn’t really be an issue under the proper shell, and also helps regulate body temp comfort very efficiently.

You'd probably have some luck looking through the shoe thread: 

 

I would look at Salomon. I like this https://www.the-broken-arm.com/en/sneakers/1874-salomon-the-broken-arm-wings-pro-2.html#/shoe_size-10_us

Those Salomon’s are hawt. Almost regret ordering those AF1 boots last night... Must curb my sneaker buying excessive-ness. I’ve already bought four pairs in the last month and a half. Is there a twelve step program for sneaker addicts?

Articulation is perfect, no knee bags like the voronoi. Excuse my short legs

 

Thanks for adding the doggo for scale/reference;)

1. Western Canada (cold and wet this time of year)
2. General everyday wear, walking to class/work ect.
3. Not particularly.

Going off of the list you quoted it seems to me that stotz may be the best choice. Thanks for the help!

Def stotz.
