Anyone know (roughly) what year(s) these jackets were produced, particularly ones made in USA? Assuming it's somewhere between the '80s and early '90s.

Noticed there are several versions of these with slight variations, but most don't have the lower slash pockets.

Recently bought the reissued version but returning since I found this vintage made in USA one instead 🙃

Some quick thoughts after two weeks of near-daily use in a big city, primarily for work/commuting.

It’s heavier than it needs to be, and the admin panel should have been gusseted for expandable/usable volume when packed out.

The admin panel organization pockets are too small and only useful for the smallest items since they don't expand; mesh pocketing would have been way more useful here.

I wish there were an extra bit of internal organization, like some mesh slip pockets or even just a large zippered dump pocket in place of the "tablet" pocket.

Could it be improved? Sure, but I still love this thing. It's the most feature-rich tote I've ever owned and does the job of carrying everything I need for work.

I love the magnetic opening, although it can be challenging to close when packed out, and the luggage pass-through works great. The large open dump pocket in the back is more useful than I initially thought.

Was HEAVILY debating between this and Konbu, but after the dust magnet reviews, the fact that it’s actually 1 ounce heavier than the 840D version and $65 more expensive sealed the deal.

Also recently got the AC Daily Plus as my first work backpack but that probably won’t see much use now that CDT24 has come into play.

What can I say, I’ve always been a tote guy. 😂

Saw these listed on REI's website as a pre-order and can't find any other info about these amazing shorts online, not even on Janji's site.

I pretty much run exclusively in half-tights and these seem to be the happy medium between cargo tights and regular shorts.

Yes, brands have done shorts with cargo liners but these seem to be the first to integrate the awesome waistband pocketing system that Nike has executed so well on their trail tights.

Anyway, can't wait for these to drop.
