so yeah i'm about to buy this jacket. was seeing whether anyone has any reservations about it after trying it on or buying it etc
i want an acronym jacket but i can't find a nice one in my size. if anyone has anything or can recommend anything that's better size small let me know. Not so tempted by stone island though. duff did you try it on in the end?

I went to buy that one, but didn't after trying it on.
I have to say that materials and quality are very good, was the fit that didn't convince me.
It's very snug on the body and on the arms, but you have some room on the shoulders as on the back there's a sort of pleat for more comfort. You can clearly see this with the jacket on as the shoulders are puffed up compared to the rest of the body. Nothing major, but you notice it when looking at it from the side.
On the arms in particular, it was too tight with just a sweatshirt on.
I wouldn't recommend sizing up because the outer shell will then be too big, and overall the jacket kinda loses its nature.
I'm 181cm (5'9?) with broad shoulders and tried a M

what did you go for in the end? any recommendations of similar jackets?

yeah i cant seem to find many fit pics of the 2 in 1 acg. this has thrown me a bit! couldn't really find anything else that i liked. that other nike one is nice rez but sold out most places unfortunately. the other thing swaying me is i have a 20% nike code so it knocks £100 off the acg

candidate, you need a jacket with separate insulation and shell?
that veilance looks good but i doubt i'll be able to find xs/s if sold out in stores.
yeah just looking for a versatile, tech jacket really.
think im gonna get the acg delivered and see how it is. only thing i can find that i like style and price-wise.

With all that writing over it, looks shite IMO. Doesn't even look particularly comfortable either.

Veilance with a discount is where it's at. Such good coats, can't believe I even thought about selling mine, well glad I never now.

Need a warm jacket for winter. Have had an OL shield for the last five years but now it's starting to die on me. Fraying at the sleeves
Any good suggestions?
I had a look at Norse's Rokkvi Neoshell 2.0. Anyone got any experience?
SI non road man pieces.
