IHJ-06 - Fleece Lined Cordura Winter Breaker

[jacoavlu]

so I wore the breaker out scooping snow for about two hours yesterday and when I took the jacket off I noticed that the fleece lining in the arms was damp and the creases of the elbows of the sweat I wore underneath were damp as well. I had to turn the breaker inside out to try to get it to dry.

the moisture was definitely not by penetration through the face of the sleeves, snow was not coming down, the outer jacket never got wet, I think there are two possibilities. It could have just been sweat, the jacket definitely kept me warm. But the rest of my sweatshirt was not wet, not the pits, not the chest, it wasn't like an aerobic workout, I dont think it was body sweat. Really just at the creases of the elbows and forearm areas.

I think more likely it seems the sleeve lining kind of wicked moisture in from the base of the cuff at the wrist. I was wearing gloves but the cuffs werent covered and did get damp from snow. And the distal part of the fleece sleeve liner was the moist part, in continuity from the wrist, not the upper arm around the pits etc.

Has anyone else experienced this? Any thoughts? It wasn't a big deal in fact I didn't notice it until I was done, but if I were going to be out in the snow all day and it were very cold it could be a problem.

Yes Ive had the same experience. The dampness seems lessened if Ive worn some cotton long sleeve underneath while working or doggedly walking round town.

Dry it as  you have- inside out.

The O6 has never left me wanting another winter jacket

Not sure if this jacket will ever return in some form? but i had a dream that the fleece lining was removable (like some of the north face coats)

[Giles]

Cool dream, but thus far, it is only a dream…

[og kush]

Yeah that's what I figured….that's why I failed to mention my ability to fly in that dream as well

Or just take a damp towel and wipe it down. If that isn't enough add a little soap to the towel. After rubbing in the soap and breaking down the sugar, use a clean damp rag to wipe it all off.
