Is it just me or do the p41-ds and p44-ds look to be the same pants? Typo i'm guessing? Pics in question are found in the j29-lp and la6b-ds product pics. 

They must have changed whatever you were talking about cause I don't see it. 

That said, The P41-DS are growing on me...

This last pic is the previous J16-GT release, gen 1.2 I believe? 

The new J16 in Alpha is fire though

Unsure how to feel about the new pants...

An absolute pleasure doing business with @vocalisms . Item as described, prompt shipping, and reasonably accommodating.

What do you guys use to reapply DWR to DS?

I remember reading that the DWR on DS is some proprietary substance that only works with DS. 

This is exactly what I have read about it. But I would love for someone to prove that reproofing is a thing.

Yep. It’ll definitely bead more persistently with a fresh DWR application. Repetitive washes will diminish that obvs. But the quick drying characteristics are entirely fabric dependent and performance is unaffected, wash temp/dry temp or otherwise ime. 

That's insightful. I've been relying on dry cleaning for any of my Dryskin pieces. I've also been super curious about whether or not to eventually reapply DWR to DS pants, and see conflicting feedback about that for some reason.

The first time I mistakenly left my P10DS in with the rest of my plebe clothes and subjected it the standard warm wash and mid temp tumbledry, and wore them with zero side effects, I realized that I’d be ignoring that care tag for the most part. And have for the last 4 years with all my other DS items lol. So yeah. I’ve washed all of my DS cold/warm and tumbled dry with zero ill effects. 

Curious, does your DS still bead when cared for that way? 

Yikes... 

Anyway, I wanna settle this once and for all. I know people tumble dry their acrnm DS pants despite the care tag explicitly stating not to. For those that do, does it cause any issues?

Moved pretty far from my usual dry cleaner, so I'm considering other options.

Wait so.. u bought the same jacket again?

No. I bought the TecSys variant (which came in today). The fit is slightly better in the sleeves for me than the J47 currently on the mothersite. 

Welp, managed to find a J47TS-GT in S and jumped at it. You only live once.

Thanks for the info lads

Typically the cuff should sit just behind the first knuckle of your thumb. This allows for greater range of movement in general as well as when layering

Ah I see. My ACG 2-in-1 shell is just at the knuckle of my thumb with the liner in and hangs at the knuckles of my forefingers when worn without it.

Should I expect the same with any ACR jacket as well? Should buying the J27GT in small be fine?

I don't want to tell you what you don't know, but your measurements sound exactly right for size S. Is it possible you're unfamiliar with how it's supposed to fit? can you post some pics?

Wish I still had pics on my phone, I've since sold the piece. You're right though in that it was my first Acronym shell so there's unfamiliarity there. Nikelab ACG 2-in-1 was my everyday jacket prior to that, which I had in size S, so I went straight to size S when I bought the J47.  
I'm willing to try the J47-GT again with the notion that it's just supposed to be a bit long in the sleeve without a liner/layering beneath. Is that just how the jackets fit generally?

lots of people size up for their J47 (i did, and my L J47 still fits smaller than my medium J1A, which is comparable in cut to the J27) 

So I've heard, that's what's confusing since all the measurements imply the J27 would be smaller than the J47. What area was constricting for you in the J47 that made you size up?

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

There is a liner beneath the J27 in that pic, vs the pic used for the J47 where no liner is used... That said I know they use totally different fit blocks so I'd love some feedback on how they compare

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.
