I still don't know if i should repaint that yellow piece on mine ... :rolleyes
 
Is there any sizing info for those goretex cruiser jackets? Can't seem to find it for anywhere.

I’m traveling so sorry for the delay. I’m 5’11/170 and bought a Large ~two weeks ago. Sizing: The jacket is too big/wide around the waist (there are drawstrings) and sleeves, hood is really tall/long, but the length is perfect. I feel like if I got a Med, then the overall length would be too short...but since I didn’t have the opportunity to try one on, I could be wrong. Pics for reference:

Also, it is uber thin (granted it’s a rain jacket) but windproof so it’s decently warm.

1.section (a) up to n stitching height
2. section (b) lager to the red line (they are too low)

for example

But that's the shape for few years now and that's what we want no ?
They look like the 1500FA with maybe a little bigger/different N logo ?

nonheinous nonheinous nice! It's a shame. NB1 really improved on the 998's overall shape in 2017. It's shame that it gone now. I hope to see either the 997 or the 999 next up on the NB1 program.​
 
Honestly, to me the sharp shape isn't even the problem with 1500s right now. It's that whack toe cap the pops out that u can only see when u look down at the shoes. Even worse, sometimes only one shoe will have it.
 
Do 1500's generally run bigger? Should I size down? Normally wear 10.5, but my 10 997's fit perfect.

edit: M1500GT's went down some more on Hanon. Finally copped.

Yo thanks for the follow up. Do you mind measuring the chest and waist? I'm shorter and fatter, so I'm not sure how it would fit haha. Enjoy Paris, looks dope!
