J1A-GT (gen 2.1)

Sz Large

9/10

bag and spec

forgot your price

Posted a quick first impression of the 3A-5 on the discord already but I figured I'll post this here again..

The white inner compartment is completely removeable, aswell as the inner two front pockets and ofc the laptop sleeve. If you remove everything via the velcros its like the usual 3A xpac inside. The cover flap is really thick and heavy, but I feel like the bottom should have been reeinforced a bit more because the bottom is also just regular xpac thickness.

The cool thing is you can either put the laptop sleeve behind the inner compartment, carry it over/inside the inner compartment or you can attach the laptop sleeve at the fixed velcro on the cover flap extension and completely remove the inner compartment, which only leaves the sleeve and 2 inner pockets.

As expected, 3 point system feels good and certainly does a good job. All of the buckles are still pretty stiff and require a bit more force to open, which is normal I guess. If you pull all of the buckles up you can fit a good amount of stuff inside, especially If you remove everything including the laptop sleeve (fr its huge).

The Front pockets can nearly fit a 1l arizona tea (2cm too short, was the only bottle I had rn lol). 

Like already shown in the product pics you can put up to three mods around the bag, one on each side and one at the front. You can also tighten the top with a via elastic band which you can pull on a little raf fabric on the right side. You also have a little loose strap on the inside of the bag, in the middle. To acces it, you have to remove the inner compartment + the two inner pockets (its under the velcro line).

I'll show pics of some details around the velcro system on the inside, overall details of the bag and strap system and fitpics with various loads and different strap carry.

Fitpics where the bag has near no structure are taken with everything removed and only my 3a-1 l2 as weight inside. The pics where the bag shows structure and the cover is completely closed are with everything attached on the inside + 3a-1 as additional weight and rubber band tightened. 

One thing thats interesting is that at the bottom of the laptop sleeve is printed the following:  "2017  3A-5TS"

Seems plenty resistant from what I've experienced. Did it fail you in a total downpour?

My experience is from the P10A-E, still the same material so I thought I'd share it.

I got caught in 2 heavy downpours since I have the pants and It started to "fail" me in places where water couldnt run off as fast, which is directly on top of the cargo pockets, next to the zippers or at the beginning of the zippers (in the corner on top of the pocket). After that the water seeped through some spots in my knee/shin area where the fabric stacked but that was after ~10mins of constant rain. Everything else wasn't a problem for the material, water only seeped through in those 2 occasions.

 In terms of abrasion resistance, do you see this material pilling over time like DS or is it more similar to stotz?

Wore my alpha green pair everyday for a week and I haven't noticed any kind of wear or pilling on them yet. Need more time to judge the durability. I'm quite happy with the fabric for now..I like the overall feel and drape.

I may actually keep mine... haven't fully decided yet. I'm sort of coming around to it. A couple of things thought...

2. Have people found that stotz softens with time? Does it stretch out at all? I'd expect it to... but right now it's really stiff.

5. These cuffs don't tighten as much as I'd like, without there being considerable male velcro flap hanging off. Is there a trick to this?

Stotz kind of breaks in after a while but it wont stretch, even if it does kind of give in it wont be noticeable. My J1B-S feels a lot different after ~2 years of wear and lost the kind of stiffness it had when I got it. The J36 will also soften up a bit, but it takes some time.

About the cuffs, it depends how tight you really want it. If you tighten it normally and fold the material at the beginning of the velco it will be just right. But I'm afraid there isnt a good way to tighten it even more without the velcro sticking out.

Same, just got an email this morning saying it is being shipped out today. was actually surprised with the 1 day repair. My label has been created but doesn't have an expected delivery date yet.

Had the same on a different order from them. Expected delivery date came like 1-2 days after my label was created.

WTB 

J62-S size L 

Edit: corrected size

I'm really curious how the Infinium fabric is gonna perform, especially in the durability.

Just a heads up on that J1A-GT posted on Ebay, it's counterfeit.  The buyer admitted to it in a inquiry...

I already suspected it, price was just too good to be true

+ rep @illuvatar.eru fast shipping and very good communication, would recommend 10/10

WTB J58-WS size M, I don't really care about condition, im looking for a liner for the ACG alpine i just picked up and i think it's the only jacket that'll fit. 

Pretty sure the ACG metamorphosis bomber fits too...can be attached via the zipper on the neck
