Patagonia M10 is coming back!

I stumbled upon this on the ISPO website - it seems that in FW2024 Patagucci will re-release the m10 in anorak form as well as new m10 pants that seem to borrow some design cues from their alpine suit. Has anyone here seen or ran into any testers out there using this kit?

But will they bring back the Grade VII?

Anyways the mountain equipment Tupilak is the GOAT of shells

Not sure how they're expecting anyone to afford this at €450, microporous membrane will be highly vulnerable to degradation as well.

Im sure it will be a great jacket but I'm very concerned about it's durability. 

Patagonia, just take my money. Put me down for four—one in each color for when I’m in climbing shape, and one in each color for when I’m in whatever shape I’m in now.

If history is any guide, they'll run for 6 months then discontinue it and you'll be able to pick up one on clearance for US $150 or so.  At least that's how I got mine, and it's a great shell. 

As mentioned, theyll be had for half price at the end of the first season. I'll take one.

Anyone try the new M10 stuff yet, specifically the pants? I just got my hands on a pair, haven't used yet but they are way more thin and delicate than I was expecting. I assume I will shred the unprotected inner cuff just putting on crampons.

They seem like they might be awesome ultralight rain pants, but with the tight elastic cuffs, they will absolutely dump water into any low cut shoe. 

Patagonia marketing and athletes sure hyped these as the ultimate new alpine pant, but they seem more disposable than durable enough for being around sharp rock, or metal.

No experience with the Tupilak, but my Tupilak Atmo (probably the same cut just 40D instead of 80D) is the best shell I've ever used.

As far as I can tell, the website doesn't specify inseam length by size, other than making a generic statement that inseam length is 31". I likely am in between Small and Medium (typical pants size is 30" waist, 32" inseam), which has often entailed choosing either a baggy fit and loose waist or a lack of coverage around the ankles and lower shins. Any guidance?

I have found Patagonia pants can run somewhat tight in the crotch area and I would always rather have extra space for improved freedom of movement. Just tuck your pants into your boots or get some sort of cinch system to avoid crampon snags.

I tried to wear Patagonia pants for years and just can’t do it. To be blunt, my balls get crushed.
