Great info. I was actually just looking at the Dua and L pants since that 50% off code still works. I saw they had different fits, but look really similar in the stock photos.Spenser wrote: Fri Dec 20, 2024 5:02 pm Speaking of Volcom, I picked up some new stuff. They were out of XL in the ivy Longo jacket, but truthfully I think it's a bit wide for my taste in that size, so I tried a large - time will tell if I change my mind. They don't really feel shorter to me (I think that's largely in the way people wear them with the bottom rolled up) so the length is good, but I like the relaxed fit compared to the standard larges I've had. The hood isn't quite as huge, and jacket looks rad. I like the new double chest pocket arrangement, no color blocking on this one, and the little leather bat detail.
Tried both black and grey Dua pants... I haven't worn black in years, but I think I'm ready. They're listed as baggy fit, but it's a lot closer to standard relaxed than their actual baggies (longo, des, newark, etc). Really similar to the L, just something about it that hangs a hair more loose. I'm really stoked for the Longo pant next year with the cinch, instead of elastic, so I can go to the more classic baggy fit. Compared to L, the dua a jacket material feels a bit lighter, while the pant feels slightly more burly.
Ivy is now my favorite Volcom color, along with the original teak
Laying the pants over one another, it's hard to tell how they differ, but I can feel it when I wear them. Maybe it's the exact cut of the rise/seat that hangs a little more relaxed, and maybe the slight articulated leg shape is lesser than the L. Still wish they would stop doing such heavy/stiff inner thigh vents so their pants could hang more naturally.eleveneightnate wrote: Fri Dec 20, 2024 6:19 pmGreat info.

Ivy is sick. I’ve always had a forest or olive green jacket in the rotation, but my girlfriend hates it because she says she can’t see me haha. And black pants FTW, classic look and goes with almost any jacket.
The Mesh base layer has me interested. Anybody else use these?casjcade wrote: Thu Nov 10, 2022 5:44 pmYou could get something like a Brynje Super Thermo as inner layer, then a regular merino wool shirt as midlayer. Very hot and very thin.J0_Zehp wrote: Thu Nov 10, 2022 1:03 pm I’m looking for a new midlayer like very hot and very thin
Anyone have a recommendation maybe?
You can't be serious. Unless you're talking about wearing it to some sort of German sex club?Oldhead wrote: Thu Jan 02, 2025 6:42 amThe Mesh base layer has me interested.
