    Would only the spray work, not wash in dwr?

    Spray seems to work better than the wash in, at least in my experience. Better application I’d assume.

    I am in the market for a mid layer. Can anyone comment on the J72-AK in terms of warmth? How does it compare to J58 and J74?

    Also, anyone with inside news on that new J1A with the flipped collar? I think it would look much better with the collar stand up. 

    Heard the J74 isn't terribly warm. The 58 is a beast for warm imo. There's some chatter about the AV Mionn vs the 58 a few pages back. Comfort temps are subjective but I would think they'd rank 74<72<58 under a shell.

    edit: @esper never take any sizing advice from END lol

    Noragi/J72 lovers - Enfin Leve second drop on Black Friday.

     

    You can get this in Stotz as well. Idk if that’ll be an option when it’s live on their site but someone emailed them and said it’s possible.

    edit: slightly cheaper in Stotz vs the tyvek

    Anybody have any good glove recommendations? Looking for something low profile but still has some warmth and water resistancy - touch screen stuff is a plus.

    was eyeing the infinium stuff north face put out and might give them a trial

     

    I’ve had the Seal Skinz all seasons glove for the last couple years. They’ve held up well for winter biking. While they’re not terribly warm they are wind/waterproof and good for me down to around -7 to -10 C. Touch screen compatibility is ok since the palm/finger tips are leather.

  5. Thanks for pointing that out @piece keeper I can't believe I didn't think that with other items I have w detached pockets ex: SISP moleskin cargos. Initially I thought it was more for looks but that makes perfect sense. It does help to alleviate the feeling of extra weight. Assuming this is the same for the J63a pockets as well but can't verify as my aux zip is currently getting rearranged....hopefully.

    First post here, Not sure if this the right place. I just bought a pair of bamba 2's in uk 10.5 (biggest I could find) I usually wear nike 11. They fit but they're tight, how stretchy are they? Did anyone have to break them in?

    Should be fine, I sized the same as you and was a bit tight at first (usually 11.5 Nike and took an 11). Loosened up w some wear but as mentioned above I took the laces out and only use the zipper.

    correct me if i'm wrong; the j72-ak doesn't come with a jacket sling only the ability to use one, the ds version is worn like an overshirt hence the shirtsling.

    could someone kindly point me in the direction where a ng8-ps is on sale or am i too late to the party?

    No sling w the AK iteration 

    Edit: fac that gaiter is marked up compared to everywhere else
