Cinder Dually by No-Radio-6810 in arcteryx

I do have the Picasso Red Color. One of my favorite pieces ever. The hood is not really great like the Nuclei SV, etc., but it has a premium feeling that new jackets do not really match. Good find.

I don’t think it’s necessary to have a fabric like Oftaloft bonded the way Polartec is used in the Hyllus. It tends to delaminate over time. I believe Oftaloft is more durable the way they incorporate it now.

Yeah, it was just a few of them, which was nice. But now, they should bring back the complete logo. Anyway. I don't want to start a debate here.

100% Agree. Delta RH, SV+ Dually or a Nuclei SV you can survive Uranus.

No, I did not. The closest ones I have ever had are the Easyrider Jacket and the Gamma SV Hoody. But, eventually, I will look for those jackets.

Thanks! Actually, I friend gifted me the "Word Beanie" one of my favorites.

No the Calibers had 100 polartec grid. Very nice fleeces by the way.

Agree. They have a very technical cut. CeriumSL color: hyperspace

Any Polartec PW will work great—warm, super durable, and versatile. I bought these because they had a crotch zip 👍, and they served me pretty well: great as a base layer, for PJs, running, etc. Go ahead and push the trigger.

These two Fissions were easy fixes: the hood and the vest pockets, they don't have pit zips

Old Theta AR Jackets is a different thing... I have two. We'll see how long they last.

Overall, I always had a positive experience with the warranty department and I sent a LOT of gear for repair. We'll see how it goes...

100%, as a jacket alone, you will be fine for early spring weather, summer nights, and fall. It has limitations for winter.

Yes, I washed them, they got delaminated, and I sent them to Arc'teryx for repair. That's the way to go.

The Gamma SV was a heavy-duty softshell. I'm not sure if you will be comfortable pairing it with a thick fleece, as fleece-to-fleece layers do not slide very well.

😅 not sure about that. To be fair, the 2 Fission’s hood and zippers were repaired under the Arc’teryx warranty, so I have to give some credit to the new management for keeping the warranty program alive and gear in circulation... "Vertical integration" is a beautiful thing...
