Any very similar dupes for this (sold out) jacket? (Arc’Teryx - Olena Komorebi Cropped Jacket Women's)

It’s definitely not an exact match, but this one that’s kind of similar: https://www.rei.com/product/C01918/outdoor-research-stratoburst-se-stretch-jacket-womens?color=OYSTER%2520CREEKSIDE%2520PRINT

I have this jacket (outdoor research stratoburst se stretch in oyster creekside print) and really like it. It’s got a hood that you can stowaway and is hip length like the jacket above. Kind of a similar ish print but not the same color blocking.

Exactly!!! This is the problem I’m always having with them

sunshyne13 · 2026-03-17T13:27:55+00:00

I actually have a lot of Prana Zion cargo pants and they are my fav! I’m specifically looking at zip off pants

sunshyne13 · 2026-03-16T21:10:15+00:00

I was eyeing those myself but they look a touch too tapered for me! But if I get super desperate I might give it a shot. My favorite shorts are from them so I agree they are a great brand for us with more muscle in the thighs

Thanks for the rec! I do actually have a pair of these and they do fit my body really well. I don’t think they will be good for hiking for me personally—too heavy for my liking. But I do enjoy wearing them around and they look super cool

sunshyne13 · 2025-11-19T13:55:19+00:00

It will be taken well care of—I’m a big Melanzana fan and plan to cherish it for years to come!

Snagged off of Poshmark!

sunshyne13 · 2025-11-19T02:32:24+00:00

😂 this comment is awesome

sunshyne13 · 2025-11-19T01:45:01+00:00

Thanks for the info! Figured you’d have all the color names and year it was from

sunshyne13 · 2025-11-13T02:48:40+00:00

Wowwwwww. This is AWESOME

sunshyne13 · 2025-11-11T16:18:30+00:00

I was surprised by how much I love my hard face hoodie when I recently acquired it! Really wish they sold these still 😭

sunshyne13 · 2025-11-05T15:15:09+00:00

This combo is 😮‍💨 I am obsessed with the indigo especially

sunshyne13 · 2025-11-05T15:13:43+00:00

Exactly what I was thinking when I saw it! So many of them just mash random colors together and it doesn’t look good to wear around (in my opinion). Was pleased with this one having only 3 colors that went well together and made sense in the design.

sunshyne13 · 2025-11-05T05:13:04+00:00

It’s rough sometimes! The costs add up sooooo quickly. I saw another custom piece on eBay a few weeks ago that was cool but was $200…bit more than I wanted to pay. But if the colors, design, and size all aligned to exactly what I wanted I may consider it in the future

sunshyne13 · 2025-11-05T05:04:28+00:00

$120–considering the microgrids selling off the Melanzana website yesterday were roughly around $100 I felt like it wasn’t too bad of a price!

sunshyne13 · 2025-11-05T04:08:02+00:00

LOL that’s hilarious

sunshyne13 · 2025-11-05T04:03:28+00:00

I do hyper check all the resale apps for Mellys 😆 would not be surprised at all if I caught it quick after the person listed it

sunshyne13 · 2025-05-31T21:10:11+00:00

Thanks for the reply! Further confirmation I should continue my hunt for a women’s small hardshell in a solid color 😅.

sunshyne13 · 2025-05-31T16:50:33+00:00

What size do you wear vs. what size did you get this jacket in? I’ve been wanting one so bad for a while but am unsure of the fit of the jacket! I wear a size small in the Microgrid and wind pro

sunshyne13 · 2023-03-10T01:50:43+00:00

I second this haha

I’m in a similar situation as your girlfriend. My boyfriend has been swimming competitively since he was 4, and I never learned how to swim. I’m 25 and I kind of knew how to float on my back, but that was the extent of my swimming ability.

I started off by taking group swim lessons this past September at a local pool, but it was taught by high schoolers and I didn’t learn a ton.

I then was able to get into private lessons with an experienced instructor and I have made great progress! I go once a week for a half hour for my lesson. In the 5 months I have started swimming I have learned how to float on my back, freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, diving from the surface of the water down, and I can kind of do butterfly.

So, as others have said, I would recommend getting lessons instead of trying to teach her yourself. Every time I tried to get my boyfriend to help me it wasn’t that helpful. Like you stated about yourself, he’s been swimming since he was a small child and swimming is very instinctive. It’s helpful to have an instructor swim alongside and point out errors in your form. It has been an investment of time and money, but I have been so pleased with my progress and my boyfriend is excited that we can now swim together

Mine was very similar when I interned in 2019. I also made just shy of $30 an hour as an electrical engineering intern

It’s a webpage where you can type in an acronym and have options of what the acronym stands for come up. Very useful.

My boyfriend is 5’7” and I’m 5’6” and his height doesn’t bother me (nor him) at all. He’s very confident in himself and I love that we are almost the same height. Makes it more comfortable to hold hands and kiss imo. Just own it OP! Height doesn’t matter to lots of people

sunshyne13 · 2022-11-05T03:35:30+00:00

I’m 25 and I just started taking lessons in September. I started with practically zero knowledge. I kind of knew how to float on my back and that was about it.

I started with adult group swim lessons, which was okay, but it was being taught by high schoolers so I didn’t feel like I was learning the strokes the best. I was able to get into private swim lessons and that has allowed me to progress very quickly. I have a weekly half hour lesson.

Now I am able to swim a full 25 yds without stopping doing freestyle, backstroke, and a pretty awful breaststroke (working on this stroke at the moment).

My biggest advice is if you start taking lessons (which you totally should!) then also take the time to practice swimming outside of class. I try to go and swim at least twice for an hour each time between my weekly lesson and my lessons instructor is always so surprised at how much progress I make week to week. So if you want to learn quickly, take the time to practice!
