Curious what you disliked about the original J28 as a GT jacket. I do agree with @leg that most of the new changes seem unnecessary and detracts from the aesthetic of the original. That bib/apron seem kind of pointless, I don’t really have much opinion on the new collar although I don’t personally see much benefit it has over the original and question whether a removable hat over a hood is a better design choice utility-wise.
Looking at what sold out on MS though, the people who bought seemed to mainly care about the new color-way rather than any of these new “features”.

Based on the pics from the P50-E it looks like we’ll get a re-release of the J28-GT. Seems like they moved away from the foldable/packable hood to the removable ones on the J1a. I really liked/prefer the look of the old 3D ridge collar version so interested in what others think and whether anyone has info on additional changes to the jacket.
