My two cents: I'd prefer them with a tapered hem...

Can always add P10’esque zips

but starting from J68PL the quality is getting worse each season.

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'm usually S in ACR shells and had a S J58 and found it too small. Sized up to M and liked it much better. For reference I wear M/L in shirts.

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

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.

Actually you can pack the rhomb into itself! Look into the right sidepocket and you will find a button on the inside of the hem. There is a hidden compartment which you can use to do this. As i find this a bit finnicky, i always just pack it into its own hood - less compression but much easier too handle and quicker to pack/unpack.

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.

There is a liner beneath the J27 in that pic, vs the pic used for the J47 where no liner is used... 

Exactly if there is a liner under and still fits looser than 47...

Finally popping my cherry on these boards lol. Can anyone with a J27-GT in size S fill me in on the fit/sizing? I had a J47-GT in S and I kinda swam in it without a liner, with unflattering bunching in the sleeves that put me off enough to sell it (I'm 5'8/172cm and around 150lb/68kg). According to the mothersite the shoulder and sleeve measurements on the J27 are shorter by a few cm, but it's a totally different fitblock so I'm not sure if it alleviates my issue with the J47.

If you found the J47 too big ur gonna have a bad time with the J27. 

It's odd they don't list the pockets as GT Pro for the J83, but Gore nomenclature does get a lil complicated.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but Gore-Tex Infinium is just the re-branded Windstopper, or a variant of Windstopper. Windproof but not really that waterproof.

Edit: Also I just realised that Shakedry and Infinium Acronym jackets are both tagged FO, so my bad

It wasn't very straightforward when Gore rebranded WS as Infinium and had the film out stuff included under that umbrella. They might have started with FO labeled as Infinium and then expanded to include WS idr exactly. Yeah all the PB and FO products are considered to be "Infinium tech" even though you get persistent beading whereas WS isn't WP. Whatever the the face is laminated to gives it a different feel/look as well (ex: J62/63-PB, J63A-FO vs. J46-FO, J67-FO).

Gore-Tex® Film Out Hooded Jacket

Type  WR    Gen.  1    Style  Softshell

Description

The future is fluid. J63 is the first ever hoody built in a completely new type of GORE-TEX® laminate. It shifts focus from the external to the internal, from toughness to softness, from resistance to well being. A new proprietary technology forms a component fabric with persistent beading and extremely low water pick up. This means no bulky face fabric is needed. The result is comfort and quiet unlike anything before it. Suitable for an incredibly wide spectrum of interior and exterior climates; it is the closest thing to a second skin we have ever experienced.

The laminated face of the fabric will 'break-in' and develop it's own individual shine and patina with time. Durability and appearance will vary with type and style of use.

The jacket itself carries the promise of the fabric to it's logical conclusion. A marriage of the timeless simplicity of a hoody with the sophistication of true minimalist design. Fit is zero resistance and grafts to the body with anatomic sleeve anchor loops. Internal security pockets are zippered and in holster position for optimal weight distribution. Exterior pockets are deceptively voluminous with pocket bags extending to both the front and back of the garment. Sleeves are lined for the smoothest possible layering. The new 2-way overlap zip hood can be adjusted to any height for any amount of coverage. And although J63 is so light you'll likely to forget you're wearing it, should you need to doff, the signature Acronym Jacketsling keeps it handsfree.

Looks more like Shakedry to me

What’s the difference?

. Or am I too picky about the whole thing and should relax?

If you want a LC for piece of mind send me pics and I’ll compare against mine. Does seem weird to do this as preventative and not just wait until it starts to peel a bit, especially if it leaves noticeable stitching on the pant. I’d let it fall off over the latter. J68-PL has to be a defect with how little wear it took for it to peel and its happened to everyone’s.
