Does anyone else have trouble keeping the hood on the Arris properly over your head when its just a little windy, or am I not tightening the drawcords enough? Aside from that, mine is doing great today. It's pretty nasty outside where I am and I'm only getting wet because I decided to wear non-technical jeans...

This has probably been answered before, but can anyone comment on the breathability of shakedry compared to that of regular 3L Goretex? Noticeable difference? As much as I adore my Arris I learned very quickly that I cannot actually wear it during the summer rains here in the southeast US without melting...

Edit: Woops. Just read @Kejan's comment above. That sucks. Maybe I can find another solution that looks almost as awesome as Veilance lol.

WTB Veilance stuff:

-GTX shell like the Arris, Align, Actuator, maybe Field LT. Black/XS. Currently not interested in anything insulated, nor the Monitor or Conduct.

-Composite shell in Ordesa green/XS.

-S/S Terratex Voronoi pant in black, 28. Also considering other pants in 28 aside from the Anode and Apparat.

-Bit of a stretch, but Terratex Isogon in XS any color

Excellent condition preferred, just hit me up if you have something.

Black Veilance Field IS in S/L/XL here for only $597: https://www.tiinathestore.com/collections/arcteryx-veilance/products/arcteryx-veilance-field-is-jacket-black

Discounted Blazer LT and Apsis there as well

I'm just saying why wear it for interviews and not a casual suit that you can pick up for 1/4 or even less of the price

The incentive isn't just the interview of course. The Indisce blazer/pant always seemed nice to me, and I was just curious if the pairing could be used in that situation as well as casually. To be honest, I'm only asking because the blazer is listed on ebay right now for an okay price lol.

What kind of jobs you interviewing for?

Nothing specific lined up yet, but I'll be looking at pretty much anything in software development.

Thanks for the feedback, guys. I'll likely avoid AV in the interviews, but I thought I'd ask since I'm unfamiliar with what the Indisce stuff is like.

So would you guys say the indisce blazer/pant combo is formal enough for interviews as well?

WTB a Veilance hardshell like the Arris, Align, Actuator, Achrom IS, etc. in Black and XS. Mainly looking for an Arris but message me with whatever. Like new or excellent condition preferred. 

 

Still looking, the sales arent looking too promising!

If they move full production to China doesn't that mean we'll see an increase in fakes?

Wow four pairs! Good to know, yeah I hang dry, hand wash inside out, whole 9 yards. Really hope newer iterations of the Apparat can utilize a better and more durable fabric. I get that this is office-urbanoutdoorwear, but it just seems a bit much to have to get them repaired. Appreciate the info.

Welp, now I'm more nervous about washing my Apparats. I haven't worn mine quite enough to need to wash them yet, but what's good to use for washing Veilance pants? Granger's performance wash?

Probably a silly question but is the Nyco oxford able to be tailored like most oxfords? I like mine but i definitely have to hem the sleeves, and it fits pretty boxy. Not sure if the design would throw off most tailors.

WTB a non-insulated hooded Veilance hardshell in black and XS, such as the Actuator, Composite, Arris, Align, etc.
