    Many thanks. I have the J76 and am in Germany as well. Wouldn’t need a second hood. Have a 7Mesh outflow which works but cannot be connected. Will think about the J58. Am commuting with a bicycle everyday for 30 minutes and temperature is an issue. The Veilance Node that I use as well sometimes gets me warm when temperatures above 5 degrees.

    J58 is too warm for active use imo. Get something like an arcteryx atom or j74 as mentioned above.

    Looking good! I like the strap much more than on the online store pics. Only thing really bothering me is what happens in the crotch area.

    DS will drape better once they break in a bit after wear and a wash. Its stiff and flares like that at first but should fall better with some time.

    Really love the cuffs on the J81, are they a new thing? Hope we'll see them more on future pieces.

    Straight from the copy: An all new convertible hand gaiter cuff design completes the feature set.

    Add in the 7.5% for the adjusted China tariff effective 1/1/2020, plus the UPS brokerage fees and it seems close to correct for me. 

    That’s why bought last year so they were half that. Good to know about the added tariff.

    P30A-DS had the correct HTS designation per my conversation with UPS.

    Duties were like $170, so the effective rate was  ~18%.

    Ah thats not right....

    At least not for USA

    Opinions on the SM1-AK? 

    Thinking of getting one for next winter.

    Love it.  Very warm, and super soft.  Tassels are dope.  The fold into its own pocket feature is kinda useless tho. 

    Seconded

    Idle thought: I wonder when Acronym will release an N95 mask. Seems the right venn diagram of technical, ninja, and functional.

    Coevo mask doesn’t count?

    Also I always figured this might contribute to more seam peeling if that faces the washing machine drum... (even though I use a garment bag too *paranoid*)

    Agreed, wouldn't turn it inside out if I didn't use a garment bag. But then again I wouldn’t wash a $1k++ jackets without investing $5 in a wash bag. Idk maybe its just from habit of turning stuff inside out (ex: wool sweaters to help prevent piling) it probably makes no difference lol.

    edit: with shakedry through I’d be hesitant about not washing inside out since the membrane is the face but again *paranoid*

    Do you do inside out when you wash your Gore-Tex pro? 

    Yeah, my logic being dirt/oil contamination via the backer occurs more-so than face fabric. Also remove force lock/logo tape, sling, hood if detachable, loosen shock cords and close all pockets.

    How do you wash your -PB jackets? Any differences to a normal gore tex jacket? It seems not regarding to the washing Tag but I’ll better double check :)

    Same as other gtx. Inside out zipped up in garment bag, warm with techwash. No need to reapply dwr since there isn’t any.

    does haven typically not include ACR bag with its crumpled spec sheet? not super thrilled with the shopping experience.

    Which piece? The knit/wool pieces haven't came in the typical zip lock bags.

    Yes, those are the interior ones, which can be accessed from two sides (both zips for each pocket are inside the coat though). If you count the backwards-facing side pockets as separate, more like 6 on the jacket, yeah.

    Oic they’re the same pocket lol. I thought they were separate compartments vs dual access. Thanks for clarifying.

    Is there an additional pocket on J78 under armpit? confused, since the total pockets were stated as 4.  

    Aren't they the interior pockets? Copy should really list as 6 pockets total
