2. I guess there are a lot of you who have had pockets repaired. Have any of you done it yourselves? Or is the proper action to send it somewhere for repair?

I think pocket repairs are tricky and I don't think IHUK offer them as pair of their free repair service. However, I've done some DIY pocket repairs using iron-on patches plus some extra stitches by hand for reinforcement. It's not pretty but it works for me!

@Sunnergren @JoshC has gone into detail a little bit here. His comment was prompted by the preceding discussion, which may give you some ideas as well

@Sunnergren wow so quick with fades. What have you typically been doing in them? Cant wait to see more!

[Sunnergren]

@Lowlander and @Tago-Mago, thank you for your insight. I will definitely read that part, thanks for the link.

@cyclops, it’s mostly lots of movement. I’m trying to get 10000 steps a day in them and sometimes it is more. Today I had a running competition so today I just have about 4000. Other than that it’s playing with the kids and preparation for an upcoming move. Lifting stuff, on the knees for assembling furniture etc. I have also cycled in them, but trying to avoid that because I don’t necessarily like the cycle-fade.

9 months of wear. Just recently started to rotate the 25oz IBs in

@Phil_NYC That is very prominent calf fading only on one side. What caused that?

[cyclops]

@Sunnergren haha wow! Good to see you putting it through the works! I did wonder how its starting to change so quick! Well done!

@moskiitto It's from my car, oddly enough. I drive a Bronco and we had a brutal winter in NY. Every time I would get out of the truck my left leg would scrape on the floor board on the way to the ground, which was covered with road salt. I think that's why the fade is greenish.
