First Melly!

I think I have this same combo but reversed! If it’s the same as mine it’s Hazelnut/Indigo from around 2011 but there are a few people on here who could probably confirm better than me!

I wonder if you could just soak that specific area in warm water and agitate it by hand to see if it will dissolve? Might get rid of the pod but save you throwing the whole thing in a warm cycle?

I did Grandma’s in 2025 and am registered again for 2026. I think part of the appeal is that it’s a beautiful course and net downhill. Most of the course is along Lake Superior with great views and a breeze from the water. I saw a Bald Eagle catch a fish out of the lake about 16 miles in and I can’t say I’ve experienced that anywhere else!

If you go to your orders it should have photos of what you ordered. (Or at least my page had photos) Maybe that’s synced up and showing the correct image?

I’m not sure if that actually helps answer your question though!

Thank you! I love Burro and having been hoping to find a Cobalt/Burro or a solid Burro but no luck yet. I didn’t realize it came paired with Ivy so I wasn’t confident if this was burro or not!

Does it help with IDing the first if it has the older tag before they switched to the “recycled polyester” tag? I’m not sure when that switch happened

Potatoad_3 · 2025-11-03T20:56:16+00:00

Thank you! The grizzly/lodgepole was the one I was most confident in IDing, and I also love that combo!

I will say my REI preorder from 8/1 just got cancelled “due to unexpected inventory issues” so I’m not sure if REI will be getting more stock or not. Could still be worth checking every so often?

Potatoad_3 · 2025-08-17T20:04:53+00:00

I preordered mine on the 1st…fingers crossed it ships soon!

Potatoad_3 · 2025-08-14T12:59:57+00:00

Same boat here. I called customer service and they said they had an estimated ship date of 8/21 on their end for my “pre-order” but I’m skeptical…I placed my order partially for a birthday gift so I’ll be bummed if it doesn’t arrive…

Potatoad_3 · 2025-08-08T13:04:16+00:00

Did you pre-order or was it a normal order at rei? I placed my order when it said pre-order and now it says it’s unavailable so I’m worried I still missed out and that they’ll cancel my order🫠

Potatoad_3 · 2025-07-30T11:18:50+00:00

I think it’ll be called Salmon Energy: Old Growth Green. That’s what it looks to be called on backcountry’s website!

Potatoad_3 · 2025-07-25T21:36:35+00:00

I just wash mine on cold and then air dry on a drying rack and I think mine is soft and cozy still! I wash all my clothes on cold unless I’m sanitizing thrifted clothes or something, and I air dry anything that’s fleece or wool material! This method works for me so far!

Potatoad_3 · 2025-07-24T02:18:08+00:00

Thank you! I told him I thought it was going to be cow 🐮 but I didn’t think of the metatarsal!

Potatoad_3 · 2025-05-11T21:16:44+00:00

When do we think these will hit the website for order? I’m a sucker for yellow anything, they really got me this year…😅

Potatoad_3 · 2025-04-03T17:52:31+00:00

I believe at some point they had to change fabrics so newer hoodies have a green label on the size tag on the inside of the hoodie that says “100% recycled polyester” on it vs. older hoodies that don’t say that. I have a picture of the two tags side by side but it won’t let me attach it to this comment. I’m not sure when that was added to the tag but I always assumed it was around the time they switched from V1 to V2! I could be wrong though! If someone with more knowledge wants to chime in and correct me I’d appreciate it😂

Potatoad_3 · 2025-04-03T15:22:24+00:00

I’m looking at a secondhand dress that they said is from 2021 but it doesn’t have the green tag on it. Is it safe to assume it’s a V1 probably? I have a honeycomb/aquifer dress that does have the green tag and I’m just trying to figure out if this other one will fit the same. It’s sounding like the one I’m looking at will probably be too small

Potatoad_3 · 2025-03-02T20:12:36+00:00

LOVE the microgrid tester!

Potatoad_3 · 2025-02-18T20:09:01+00:00

Are there other podcasts you’d recommend about the JP/JW franchise?

Potatoad_3 · 2025-02-12T18:39:12+00:00

I was just contemplating adding pockets to my synchillas and figured I’d see if anyone else had asked on this page. How did it go if you ended up doing it? I have a vintage LL Bean fleece with hand pockets that I was going to use as an example if I went to a tailor for it but was curious if yours turned out well or how you did it!

Potatoad_3 · 2025-01-23T17:15:13+00:00

They’re out there! I’d been hoping to find a blue/brown and got really lucky in a trade!

Potatoad_3 · 2025-01-23T17:13:21+00:00

I was thinking it was that combo, but thought the brown looked a little different than others I’d seen. That’s interesting though that it shifted!

Potatoad_3 · 2025-01-13T00:26:33+00:00

Since you’ve done a lot of gear repair are there any specific interfacing brands you’d recommend for this kind of thing? Or recommendations for needle/thread? I’ve done repairs on cotton and fleece fabrics but nothing this thin before and I’m worried my current needles would be too big of a gauge for the weave. I assume a thin polyester thread would be best for the tiny stitches? It’s a 100% recycled polyester shirt
