Can anyone give their advice and/or opinions on Flash Dual Zip -vs- Flash 2?

I got a beach hoodie which has been fine for around the house but im not crazy about the super long arms. I've always worn zip-up hoodies and not pullovers, especially for layering under denim jackets and the like... saw some options on Grailed but can't decide between the two...

Am not a fan of either but I guess I am also someone who doesn't like zip up hoodies and prefer my Villains, Raglans, Kake, etc. They layer fine though. My flash dual zip is pretty slip and has good length, easy to layer under jackets. I just don't wear it often especially when I gotta sit

Nice. But I would have a panic attack if my clothes were stuffed in the cubbies like that.
yeah. I need to refold them, majority are just pants folded in halves

Flash Dual Zip > Flash 2 by a mile.
I might be biased though because I bought the dual zip anytime a new color came out.

I prefer the overall tailored fit, the length, and the clean look of no draw strings of the dual flash. I wear it alone and layered under outerwear.

The Flash 2 fit more like the raglan zipup. It was shorter, boxier, and had draw strings (you can take them out but it doesn’t look as clean). If you wear a lot of cropped outerwear then you might like it more paired with that because of its shorter length. When I sat down I would get that drafty feeling of exposed skin on my lower back which was an instant no go for me.
I’m 6’1” so your miles may vary.

Quick shipment/no delay let’s you know just how swamped they are
Just checked my emails from last black Friday I placed an order 11/25/19 and it was out for delivery 11/26/19

I live in SoCal though so that probably helps but I think JE has always been pretty good at getting your stuff delivered quickly
