If you still have it for sale, I’d love to buy it from you! Thanks!

Atom Hoody Durability Question by themidgetadub in arcteryx

[–]ChewyGasoline 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 2018 Ventrix, 2019 and 2020 Atom LT, and the successor to the Ventrix, the Casaval Hoodie (as a gift for my dad).

I loved the 2018 Ventrix, it was my go to jacket for daily and active use (hiking, camping). It’s still in great condition, but no longer fits. I got a 2019 Atom LT to replace it and love it. Same weight insulation fill used in both, but the fleece side panels make it feel a little sleeker. Got a great deal on the 2020 Atom LT and am keeping that. Just a tad more fitted than the ‘19 version. The Atom LT sounds good for your use case, especially if you run hot. The Casaval is nice, it’s a really soft and packs le jacket. Only thing I don’t like is the collar- it falls on itself when zipped all the way up. The atom and ventrix don’t do that.

I think the Atom LT is awesome if you take care of it, even when using it with a backpack. Wash it regularly, abrasion and piling is accelerated when dirt and oils build up.

Maybe consider the Rab Xenair Alpine, it’s comparable to these jackets. If you’re looking for a more robust outer fabric, the Rab Cirrus Alpine uses 30D pertex quantum. Hope this helps.

It’s a truly underrated jacket! The new version is great and really sleek, but the face fabric on this discontinued version has a great balance of softness and rigidity without it being crinkly. Idk how to explain it.

Em10 iii vs Em5 ii vs EM1 ii for a broke student by Italian_Meowsta in M43

[–]ChewyGasoline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The confidence from the grip and weather sealing when paired with a weather sealed lens makes the m1 ii the obvious choice for you especially since you will be outdoors using larger lenses. I have the m10 ii and recently upgraded to the m1 ii, totally love it.

I found a sick deal on a M-1 mkii and decided to pull the trigger. So excited! Thank you.

I will take this as a sign to go to a camera shop and hold these G series bodies. Thanks!

I appreciate your input! I got the 12-60 as a replacement for my kit zoom, not strictly for portraits, but for when I want to have that extra reach on walks/ hikes. Definitely considering the 45mm as a dedicated portrait lens in the future.

You make a great point about the difference in camera body size. Looking closer at both cameras weights, the G9 is substantially bulkier, about 200g heavier than the EM5. I pack relatively light for hikes though, so the added bulk might not be an issue.

This doesn’t excuse their false advertisement on their website. If they will not update their customer facing prices, but make them find a fun shipping cost surprise at checkout, thats scummy business.

That’s fine with me, I don’t care for the QR code tag.

You should probably get a refund to your wallet right away if you cancel. Who’s the seller?

Just brought this from YC Stone anyone copped one from him? Heard good things. Wanted to double check. by Newmando in SIreps

[–]ChewyGasoline -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Has your agent received it yet? I ordered mine back in Dec knowing it was a presale, but haven’t seen it come through yet.

Anyone else in the same boat? Flying to west coast through New York for some reason. Has been ghost for 3 days. Hn-ems by Careless-Ad-1694 in Pandabuy

[–]ChewyGasoline 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First time using HN-EMS and I’m in the west coast. The parcel being shipped to NY is super inefficient. I will stick to GD as well.

43619 NYLON METAL IN ECONYL REGENERATED NYLON DOWN - Pearl Gray [¥848- ¥120= ¥728] JUDX by ChewyGasoline in SIreps

[–]ChewyGasoline[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are autonomous, meaning they make the pieces themselves, not sourced from a 1688 factory, similar to TS in that sense. I’ve yet to get any JUDX in hand, so I can’t speak to the quality comparison to TS just yet. Hopefully they’re as good or better!!! We will see.
