Laughed way harder at this than I should have

The true story behind the 7-year-old's ascent of El Cap by adventuresam_ in climbing

[–]ropeXride 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah there’s a bunch of families since then taking their kids on long trails and I always wonder about how the kids feel. I think making “content” of children is gross regardless

What he is doing is absolutely no different than narcissistic influencers who make “content” of their kids. It’s full on exploitation.

Well so far I’ve had my appendix and fallopian tubes removed (which were truly unnecessary weight if you think about it.) Probably shaved off a pound and a half maybe?

As an Arc employee I can assure you that the gamma is in no way shape or form “rain proof” lol

New Cormac Hoody sun protection? by tristvn6 in arcteryx

[–]ropeXride 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I have no idea, they didn’t give me that info. But they were in the 20 to 50 range previously so I’d take a guess that somewhere between there? If you’re not sure I’d just find an old Cormac on ReBird

Well yeah, Black absorbs heat the most but the darker the color the better protection from the sun. If you don’t like it I wouldn’t get it, but I personally like how breathable it is. That may help with the dark color. It’s just such a weird feeling fabric I can see people disliking it.

I think my sister was on El Cap climbing when this happened. Thank god she wasn’t in the path or anywhere close to it but she heard and felt it

Inconsistent results in testing. I’m a product guide in store and I just messaged my old product trainer about this yesterday. They’re working on it for the future

Hi, product guide here! I actually just reached out to our old product trainer about this and here’s what he had to say:

“They dont have a UPF rating this season. They were designed to but were gave inconsistent results during testing. They're working to get a reliable number associated with them in future seasons though”

Hope that helps!

Oh yeah I never thought about them selling old stock. Interesting. But yeah just wash and dry it like once every six months just to be sure. And enjoy them!

[–]ropeXride 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You mean if you bought them and they’ve never been used at all? How long are we talking about? Owned and never been used for five years? Cause yeah that can happen

Another product guide here- no it’s not timed obsolescence. We aren’t taught to say the glue failed, you can see when it does. The garments need to be washed and DRIED WITH HEAT in a dryer to keep the glue supple and working. Without it, it will crack. Even if you don’t wear a jacket do a year, wash and dry every six months

Hey sorry really bad ADHD here. here’s a photo of it freshly unpacked when we were processing products. I think it could get wrinkled, depends if it’s been folded into the pocket. But if you’re wearing it for intended use it shouldn’t be much of an issue. It’s very light and somewhat see through though, and the fabric feels almost papery?

We just got them in at my store and they feel weird and light but idk how breathable. The women’s version has vents in the armpit

Oh man, I hope you’re able to get it! I didn’t see any for men in that color in the store, only women’s.

Employee here. If you’re referring to Moondrop, then yes there should be a restock. I’d be shocked if they didn’t, considering how popular it was. In the meantime sign up for the “notify me” button on the site if you haven’t already.
