You’d think w the amount of detail making the tags, sheets and sticker they’d at least try to get the bag right lol

WTB: J74-PX // sz L // Blk or have for trade J63A-FO // sz M // full pack 8/10

What was the issue w J68 beyond the size tag like everything else? Never saw anything except them peeling.

MiC is an additional ~7.5% for USA Thanks Trump

It’s not as far off from the last release still on site and 45 gram increase on the new seems pretty negligible with how light the X-Pac bags are to begin with.

Sorted

I typically size up on insulators as well. J91 looks TTS though.

WTT: J28-WS sz M full pack (worn once) for J59TS-CH sz M retail trade + cash depending on condition

Very excited for the new BQ fabric and more DS shorts!

@WiseFool friend tried them and really liked them. One of the nicer pieces from the collection by the looks of it.

I remember I saw someone mention this then when I checked never saw it so thought they had meant pack into the hand pocket. Will likely just keep using the pouch, sounds less finicky and can use the loops to hang off a bag. Also get a little added protection when tossing it into bags w pens, pencils, knife or anything else w an edge it could catch on when putting in/out. Thanks for mentioning the snap, I know exactly where it is now lol.

@piece keeper I’ve had the Rhomb (SS19) and J63A-FO (FW18) since their releases and haven’t had any durability issues like some. Lot of people seem to complain it looks like a trash bag but irl it’s more leatherish. Online product shots make it appear smoother when it does have some texture. I don’t necessarily baby either of them and though it’s not necessarily recommended I have worn bags w both. I try not to make that a habit but hasn't affected either thus far. As Dix mentioned the Rhomb is a perfect travel/emergency shell and performs well in warmer weather (still gets hot/clammy imo pushing 25+ Celsius). I keep mine packed in a pouch in my bike bag, would be nice if it packed into itself. You could try stuffing it into one of the hand pocket I suppose. It runs slim since it was made for “urban running” so it was one of the Veilance pieces I sized up on. The zipper isn’t waterproof so it can leak, same w the pocket seams on the J63A. Really only noticed this issue when biking in heavy rain not walking around casually. I’ve worn the rhomb hiking but would only recommend this for wide open trails, anything dense and brushy wouldn't risk it. Also don’t put any adhesive to it bc it will pull the face membrane away (pic from the Acr thread when the J63-PB first released showing this). One other thing is the feel of these jackets is much different bc the J63 is bonded to Power Grid Fleece so it feels much more substantial to the paper thing Rhomb. The J67-FO would be a closer Acr comparison.
