I guess E saving the best for last? There has to be a second drop..

[piece keeper]

What makes you say that? That's the 74-PX which we know is coming tomorrow. 

[msoldano]

Mods perhaps as well? Mz1 and mk2 that were shown on 3a 5ts 

[X.bee]

I think my mind is just stuck on the J1A with the new material, my fault.

[Bigyen]

For the delamination of my J47a anyone have and fixes? Thinking about waxing it  or using a bunch of iron on gore-Tex patches on the inside.

I wrote ACR repairs but I don’t really think they’re going to repair it. Seems like it would be pretty major and probably need to be replaced. I talked to a Gore-Tex  repair place in Seattle WA and they said there was nothing they could do. They said where the delamination happened isn’t waterproof anymore so it’s basically just a windbreaker. Going to hold out doing any drastic DIY repairs until I hear back from ACR, but I’m open to ideas. 

 

Good luck to everyone tomorrow.

I’m gonna wash my J47a tomorrow’s. Luckily I’ve worn it almost exclusively with some type of long sleeve mid layer. Looking at the neck though... little nervous truth be told. Is it just me, or is the wash knowledge not as wide spread as it should be for cash money garms in this respect? I’m really nervous that I didn’t wash my damn J47 100 wears ago

[fasttimes]

Nothing sold out. A couple of items never had stock, assuming they're coming in another drop later

More interops?

Without interops, I have no interest.

It's just cleaning your clothes, it's not going to ruin them. What are you nervous about?

[kenwiryadi]

will they re-release ng4-ps? fit pic in e's ig looked like it

[piece keeper]

Technically it never released; you're likely thinking of the NG3. But yes the 4 should be coming tomorrow.

Basically this. To improve longevity it's advised that if you do any sort of hardwearing to wash every 10–30 uses to clean all the accumulated dirt and grime. The "patina" many are fond of is of detriment to the performance of the fabrics—especially in terms of breathability. Some people report that dirt and oils accelerate degradation/delamination as well.

Welcome back

Because Internet forums like this one have given nerds all over the world the idea that it’s bad to wash your clothes frequently (and in some cases at all).

read the gore-tex spec, the care method is on it. It says put into dryer after machine wash, which makes me nervous as well lol

Done it loads of times on multiple jackets without issue. I put them in those net bags these days but not sure if it makes any difference really.

Slightly off topic in the run up to this afternoon's release, but what are the Owners' opinions on the J25-WS?

It's one jacket that I will never sell. EXTREMELY lightweight. Perfect windbreaker. I've never gotten the hang of packing it properly so I don't bother anymore but it is packable. It's easy to wash and maintains its tech properties after many washes. It fits a bit small. I'm typically somewhere between a small and medium in Acronym and I own a medium and the thing feels perfectly fitted.

Jacketsling loops are inside only so you can't wear the sling externally. And the jacket is so fitted that you can feel the sling inside the jacket. I wear it without the sling most of the time because of this.

Agreed this is one of my favorite jackets. How do you wash yours?

[RemarkableArmor]

I wash the 25-WS the same as GT pro - grangers on about 40degrees then tumble dry. Comes out great!

[Dolphinski]

Agreed with both of the above on the J25-WS. If i have limited space or weight when i'm travelling in warmer weather, it's my go to jacket. I also use it when hiking/ climbing mountains due to the super light weight in my pack. I've had mine for years from the original drop and still haven't washed it and resists water perfectly well.

[brainerd666]

It’s not the washing that I’m nervous about- more the LACK of washing after reports of backing separation in recent posts. I’m just hoping I didn’t wait to long to wash. I wasn’t avoiding it, it just didn’t occur to me as it doesn’t look/feel/smell dirty...

[Dolphinski]

I don't think WS delaminates like GT does as it doesn't have the 3rd layer, just a membrane of ePTFE. Someone correct me if i'm wrong though!

Thank you so much for this (and same to @Bigyen and @Dolphinski).

I've been in two minds about picking one up for a while now, and suffice to say you've convinced me to take the plunge. I guess next week's going to be a major unboxing for me!!!

One more question actually... How would you describe the WS? I'm assuming it's fairly similar to the J47A-WS, ie. quite "crunchy"? I'm a little confused as the fabric appears very smooth in some of the product shots, particularly the close ups of the cuffs.

Edited October 17, 2018 by lopiteaux
One more before the WS mist...

[junkie_dolphin]

So what's the point of the dangly bits on the P23s if people are wearing belts in all the product shots? Are they not meant to be used to tighten the waist?

Same as the P17's, right? The bits are just used to cinch, rather than tie up (unless you're an END model).

All big pants in drop 2?  Any P10A?

Sorry, I was referring to my J47R-GT from the previous post. 

[hooper]

good luck to everyone shopping today. I encourage people to consider the j65. I've really enjoyed wearing the previous wind stopper version

Was about to say, GL to the Canadian fam with the Haven release!
