IHM-01 - Deck Jacket
-
I spoke to Haraki.
His overriding concern when designing this was that it should be wind proof. To that end he has incorporated a wind proof mid layer.
The whipcord outer has not been treated, but the whipcord he has used is super tightly woven, so will protect from the rain to some extent, but we would not claim it to be waterproof.

Thanks for the clarification!

Hmmm…. I might have some thinking to do then. I absolutely love this jacket, but to go into a winter as harsh as they are predicting with no waterproof coat might be madness. I'll have a think, but might have to go for the IHJ-06 for practical reasons.

you can always pull a Ruedi ..just put the jacket in a plastic bag if it starts raining…
We can do anything

Dude, really? This is blighty. Do you work outside a lot? Seems a shame to pass cos of borderline precip protection.

That is an idea Beats
Hectic I've passed man, I've gone with the IHJ-06 for pure waterproofing reasons. I walk literally everywhere, so it's important for me to be good to go whatever the weather.

The snaps on the pockets may be a small detail but they are very important to me. I'm very happy to see them.

in case any of you missed it. so much better than i thought it would be. wonder if anyone is going to get this & just waterproof it themselves?
-
it looks really, really good. love that inside pocket. if I hadn't have bought a BR N1 last year I'd be in the queue for sure.

that sounds like a nice project in your capable hands jaco. too be honest it really shouldn't be too much trouble
i would of put pictures of the pre-production model as well, just for comparison sake (& i don't mean to come off any more snobbish than usual), but i've noticed folks read a lot less than i thought they do & it would of been a flood of questions about which & it just would have been messy.
i'm mad all the time cause i expect too freckin' much . . . okay, that is my unsolicited rant in the wrong thread for the morning
do it jaco & if you can please document

Tell me about it Lando, still don't know if I've made the right decision. :-\
And Mondays talk of self waterproofing isn't helping me
