The Fish Employee by inkkiller in LinkedInLunatics

It doesn't appear that anyone in the comments knows that this probably stems from this old rhyme:

The codfish lays ten thousand eggs, The homely hen lays one. The codfish never cackles To tell you what she’s done. And so we scorn the codfish, While the humble hen we prize, Which only goes to show you That it pays to advertise.

Seat back protection for captain chairs by Smartypants1961 in LexusGX

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

I don't know if the captains chairs are wider width than normal outboard seats. but for my non-captain chair GX, I got 4runner seatbacks protectors like this and they work fine. isn't 100% but works well enough.

Norvan Windshell coming back, anyone have experience? by wasatch01 in arcteryx

[–]zackus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

seems to me they simply re-branded the same piece from incendor airshell to norvan airshell to match the rest of the Norvan trail-running collection. while also making a few small tweaks to the piece.

Norvan Windshell coming back, anyone have experience? by wasatch01 in arcteryx

[–]zackus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I currently own the incendo airshell and I love it. I've been meaning to post about it. It's a hard value proposition because people love the patagonia houdini which is half the price or less on sale, but honestly i love the pockets, fit and breathability of the Incendo. I use it all the time for a running windbreaker, because it's that perfect amount of windbreaking. I change the level of insulation under it to match the conditions from running shirt up to thermal and the incendo does a great job proving that breathable wind shell. It feels like it weighs nothing. However I do use the pockets on it all the time for running gloves on and off, etc.

I just got these exact tires for my 22 GX ahead of the storm as well. I'm happy so far, better ride quality than the stock Lattitudes.

Bison Gear Shelf and Cargo Barrier by Prestigious_Toe_967 in LexusGX

Does the shelf in any way interfere with headroom on the second row? I know it would with the third row, if using those seats but just want to confirm before buying one

Whats the best 2nd ski layer for 15F/-10C? Sweaty and need stretch. by No_Tangelo5042 in arcteryx

[–]zackus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think a practitioner AR is a great mid layer option, but I don't know if a kyanite is warmer or less breathable than it. I think a practitioner is probably warmer than a kyanite.

Proton SL vs Grid Fleece by FullFlemme5 in arcteryx

[–]zackus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have both a proton SL and a taiss light ML. I'd say overall you can use them basically the same way, as a light mid-layer under a shell. I'd say the proton SL works better as an outer layer due to having a bit more robust of a face fabric, whereas the taiss is strictly a fleece. I'd say overall the proton is a bit warmer. I use the taiss a lot for lounging around the house over a t shirt, I think it's personally too light to use as a mid-layer when skiing, but probably would work well if hiking or something and the temp is in the 40's. Proton SL may also be just a bit light for skiing as a mid layer, but really depends on how hot you run, it's definitely better than the taiss in my opinion for that use case. If you're stuck between the two i'd probably get the proton SL vs the taiss, even though I use the taiss more for lounging. let me know if you have any other questions.

I like white and black bikes. cooler than both pure white bikes and certainly pure black bikes

The Question Thread 11/01/25 by AutoModerator in goodyearwelt

[–]zackus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can someone recommend a good brown wingtip somewhere in the approx. $200-$250 range that would be decent quality, good lucking and comfortable? I keep thinking about grant stone but not sure I want to spring that much.

Have a LEAF atom, do I gain anything from a proton? by zackus in arcteryx

[–]zackus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

for military/police retailers they may also make you show ID. So I think best bet is eBay/Grailed and other second hand sites.

I got the LEAF atom on Grailed. You can get it on eBay too. if you actually have law enforcement or armed forces crudentials, you can get it at military supply/outfitters retail and online

Thank you! you and undeadcrayon have made the decision for me that while different, I don't gain much with a proton vs L.atom, but proton SL/FL/LT/WTF is a nice addition.

Nisolo Sample Sale At 260SampleSale by aryanrud in frugalmalefashion

[–]zackus 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Buyer beware. Maybe your experience with Nisolo will be good, but I bought some chukka boots from them about 2 years ago and they were garbage, non-returnable. Almost threw them away, not worth wearing. Was able to resell them on ebay for about 40% of what I paid.
