What's the best way to repair a tear in the Bombshell fabric (better than stitching it :) ?
Managed to pierce mine with a ski pole tip I think, would like to ensure the hole doesn't get bigger with use.

What is the difference between this and the Bokta pant?
Outer fabric is described as different, but I'm unaware of the advantages/disadvantages of dobby weave vs regular ripstop (which I assume Bokta is made of)

So is it Pulse or Element included in this package?
Description says Pulse, picture shows the other one.

Suppose one doesn't have a tumble drier with heater.

What would work then to "activate" this treatment? Drying in the sun? Using a room heater fan in a small room to raise the temperature to 30C+?
Had poor luck with a previous version of this product (blue bottle), would like to know how to make my softshells repel water again.

Could anyone elaborate on the sizing/cut changes compared to the same jacket of 2 years ago? I have the M from back then and it's pretty damn tight and hard to fit anything warm underneath (thick fleece, Stoic luft synthetic jacket), whereas M from most other brands fits me just fine (180cm, a little under 80 kg, 40" chest).

There's no mention of a polarized Zebra flavour on Julbo's site as far as I can tell.
Are you sure the description is correct?

funny thing about the hood:
This jacket has the biggest one of all my jackets, but it's not big enough for my XL Giro G10 (the jacket is in M)
Just out of curiousity, does anyone make big enough hoods for this kind of physique? :)

When is the new season's model coming in?

What are the changes from last year's model?
I bought that last spring and was kinda disappointed as it wasn't really waterproof out of the box and even a slight shower could seep in through the fabric on top of my toes.
The lacing wasn't solid enough either, it keeps slipping when I run, especially downhill and I have to stop to tighten it up every 10 minutes.
Because of those reasons it was relegated to everyday walkaround shoe and I'm still on the lookout for a proper waterproof and hopefully breathable running shoe with good grippy sole and toes protection so maybe the new model fixes those things.. anyone?

I noticed that Stoic size chart for this year has changed.
I am 5'10"/172 lb, with about 40" chest (44 if I puff up :) and last year's Welder Lo in Medium fits me with enough room for a thin layer or two underneath.
This model's size chart suggests I should get an L - is that so?
I'd like to be able to wear the Luft under a shell (a roomier one than Welder)

(I'm not in US so ordering 2 and returning the spare isn't an option)

I read that there were sizing problems with the previous year's model.
How's the new model? Is 34W a true 34W?

Is this shoe coming back in stock anytime soon?

How warm/windproof are these?
Which pants are the warmest between these, MH winter wander, Marmot cortina and let's say Patagonia alpine guide?
Looking for fall/spring type windproof stretch pants I can wear from, say, +10 to -10 Celsius preferrably without a base layer.

Another requirement is durability as I'd like to wear them everywhere, including work where I mostly sit and jeans/any cotton pants wear through within 3 months around the rear seam near where it meets the inseams :) I got some other polyester pants which resist this kind of wear just fine but they don't stretch and have other drawbacks I don't really like.
