If I understand correctly, this pertains to the UK originated, currently Swiss/Austrian ( Stotz & Co. AG)made Ventile version. Various treatments are applied to Ventile it depends on the manufacturer. The Japanese versions of ventile may be different but it’s harder to research.

I’ve found these two to fit fairly differently at least in terms of sleeve length. I found the 101j sleeves to be far too long. The A2 fit perfectly. The A2 was more versatile for me. If you are on the fence., perhaps check measurements, that might decide it for you.

Congratulations to all. What a great lineage to be a part of. Many’s thanks to everyone who has brought us everything thus far. Wishing good energy, strength, patience, and resolve for the future.

@Alex thank you.

How warm would this be relative to the N1 and A2? Thx.
