Have you ever posted a picture in this thread dude? All talk no pics.

Oh shit this thread is finally starting to get good!

[shoreman]

lol. Really?

[itsbenhere]

lol... yeah.

[drgitlin]

Picked up a couple of Component shirts at the DC store a couple of weeks ago. Funnily enough I fit a small perfectly, even though I need to lose weight and am a Medium in the Blazers. Wish they did a short-sleeved version too (particularly since they're half the price of Acronym shirts).

[sp@rks]

Looking to trade my slate scend medium for a large. Or buy a large if you have one.

[Nifarol]

Looking for an inconspicuous black gore-tex jacket for bike commutes. Torn between the Align shell and the Actuator jacket. Can anyone recommend either? Or something entirely different?

[frankie_four]

I would go for Arc'teryx mainline / A2B. the tails are longer on their jackets, thus more comfortable while cycling. however, you can get gore-tex for cycling for less bucks

Any truth to this? Made by a retailer account for "Understudy"

 

 

We've restocked on the Arc'teryx Veilance Nomin Backpack. 

 

Arc'teryx has stopped production of the material used on this bag, so after it's sold out the Nomin will not be produced again.

Not quite, the bags aren't being produced for FW15. There's no word on what production plans are for SS16 and onwards. 

[Inkinsurgent]

it wouldn't be the first time a mill stops producing a certain fabric in use by veilance

[conqueror]

i have a few questions re: the actuator so apologies if they've been asked before.

 

1. i'm 6'1/165lb, should i get a S or M? the only shell i currently have is a TNF venture in S and i live in australia so have never really needed anything more substantial.

2. i always seem to have a problem with the arms being too long on jackets. i notice this doesn't have adjustable cuffs, so would it just drape over my hand? if so, this would drive me insane and i'd have to consider something else.

3. presumably haven is the best place to buy it (AUD exchange rates is a consideration)? it's about to hit winter here so i'm not sure how often sales happen.

 

thanks in advance.

Given your height, I think you'll find the small a bit short. Cuffs on the actuator have a much smaller opening than, say, any of the FJ iterations and thus won't need to be cinched shut.

I'm picking up a medium at the post office later today. Will hit you up with some feedback on size. ( for reference, I'm 5'10" 170 lbs)

[H0r0]

I would also go for medium rather than small if I were you (I'm 6'3" 170 lbs).

 

At your height, you may find the shoulder width too tight in small size

I've been abstaining from this thread for the sake of my retirement portfolio, but I'm curious: Anywhere to look/watch for a Blazer LT in Mesos Blue on sale? I paid $250 for one in grey (size M) last year (I think) and at that price I love it.

Looking for an inconspicuous black gore-tex jacket for bike commutes. Torn between the Align shell and the Actuator jacket. Can anyone recommend either? Or something entirely different?

I bought an align thinking I might use it for biking, not sure where you live but I hope for your sake that it's cold/windy/rainy there because GTX pro doesn't breathe like I had hoped. Honestly IDK about the 'tex superlight in the actuator, but I bought a composite recently and it seems like the perfect bike commuter jacket if you MUST have veilance--breathable material in the pits, windstopper elsewhere. Might want to check out mission workshop orion, sacrilege in the veilance thread obviously but I've heard great things about the breathability of polartec neoshell, plus bike-optimized design

I've done a lot of biking in the Align and love it. Surely I would be happy with the Actuator as well, but the chest pocket, structured hood, and soft collar are nice additions. I get the impression that because it is a FW piece the Align is better sized for layering, so consider that - I often have a sweater, puffy, or insulator underneath. I usually reach for an Isogon in summer and it fits well with just a t-shirt. I'm not ever really concerned with getting a bit wet if I'm warm enough that a mid-layer isn't warranted anyways. I suspect that the Actuator is more closely patterned to the Isogon (new version this season is amazing, btw - greatly improved feel and details).

 

For comparison, I used to have a Field Jacket and found the length and fit less than ideal for cycling - it billowed somewhat in the midsection and could have been improved with a double zipper. The Align is slightly shorter and more suited for a body positioning on a bike.

Does anyone own an Apsis in Basalt? What is it like? Is it just better to get a monitor?

If you're talking about the one that's in stores now I wouldn't expect to see it on sale for a few months yet.

Yeah, apparently I purchased mine in early June last year, and for $350, not $250. I'll keep an eye out.

I have the windshell blazer which I'm pretty sure is the same fabric. The fabric is so light that it doesn't provide any warmth, I can wear the windshell blazer up to 30°C. Monitor seems more versitile, no first hand experience with the apsis though.

note: moitor doesn't have a double zip, which was a pain in the ass.

Looking to move my pretty much new Scann blazer. It is a black, size large (will fit 38- Slimmer 40) was worn for a about 30 minutes at an event and could  pass as new. The retail on this was around $599, I'm looking for $300 OBO

 

PM for pics and interest.

[lesteel]

Anybody knows a european retailer with black Imbric (M) in stock please? There were very few I guess and now I can't find any

[lysosome]

for those interested, I finally got some info on the polytope jacket from the bird's mouth:

 

Hello ______,

 

The Polytope hooded Jacket is consisting of a 100% cotton face fabric bonded to polyester fleece. It is similar to a Softshell jacket and weather resistant but not fully waterproof.

 

In case you should have any further questions please do not hesitate and contact us under 1-866-259-6656

 

Kind Regards

 

 

Also, unfortunately I have to do a shameless IC on the jacket, size small NWT. I'm moving up north and don't have the space for all my jackets.
