I got an email from the DC store saying the first delivery was here the other day.

Yeah I actually stopped by the DC store on monday and they said they were receiving their stuff later that day and everything should be out and ready to try and buy later this week, so probably around now.

Anode will be warmer than Voronoi AR, but it isn't a pant I'd recommend buying sight unseen. It has a very particular fit. I personally love my Voronoi ARs but they are prone to fading, have little stretch, and that causes some premature rips for a lot of customers. They might block wind to an extent but are by no means inherently warming.

That said, I'd also suggest the new FW17 Anode comp because I find the new wool softshell to provide more visual interest and I think it's better performing overall (although I'm not 100% on what performance changes the new blend has).

Okay good to know, I'm moving to Madison, Wisconsin this fall and I need to really gear up on the warm clothes I have so I might just go with the anode over the voronoi especially since ive found one for a good price. That said, would the fit between the fw16 anode and fw17 anode comp be similar? I have an arcteryx near me but they just switched to the new season...

Do you think the anode pants are a good purchase and do you think its a better purchase for colder climate over the voronoi ar?

Is anyone familiar with the fw16 anode pants? Im thinking about grabbing one but I haven't had the ability to see one in person and Im also unsure about the washing process...
