Digging through some other browns, I've had this bag of mocha for a while.  The color is fairly close to the old Qualatex mocha, but I had a bit of a frustrating time working with these.

I could tell on initial inflation they had aged poorly, like they were inflating fully stretched out.  I might have given up completely had I not been chuckling to myself about making that big Brown E first.

It was on me to use them, complaining about them not standing up to the travails of time would feel hypocritical at this point in my life.

Overall assessment of Gemar Mocha - I'll give them pass on the fragile because of the box of ignore I stuffed them in for so long.  Gemar has been fairly consistent on the feel of their balloons overall.  In a blind test it's the best looking mid-brown like this (chart on blog).
