@davito:

very nice to read J. a great jacket, wearing mine everyday.

hey d. do you use this as your winter jacket? is it warm enough for Zürich?

nice one Snowy…

I don't know it this helps Finn, but I'm wearing my McCoy 65 with the 72 underneath and if feeling warm enough. Remember taking into account I'm an Asean who lives in Ghana previously. My bet is IH M65 will perform even better.

[davito]

Snowy really kuul shot.

Finn mate for me yes like Friday mentioned with a heavy weight shirt. Note i am used to cold below zero but as it rains mostly here in winter i think the m65 is just fine for züri weather. Below zero you going better with the deck when not used really to the cold or going To the mountains. Ventile is working fine in Rain up to a certain level but it holds really well without freezing. Hope this helps a bit. Let me know if you need more info

[Snowy]

Thanks Gents.

@Finn, I was wearing the M65 + 72 in around 0c and I was warm enough. I noticed like davito that it beads the water for a while, but as it's not really meant to be waterproof, if it's anything more than a light rain, it'll get in eventually. I walked around for about 30 minutes in the rain before feeling it seeping in…at that point I got my brolly out :). As it started getting to -degrees, I was wearing an extra layer which kept me toasty warm. I'm NOT used to anything below about 10c, and went from 25c to 0/-0c over night....probably just confused things more than not; sorry!

Volcano, Snowy and Davito, thanks a lot!
The fabric is so stubborn, a REAL Iron Heart product Glad I took the L!
I can´t believe it, nearly 1 year ago I just wanted a heavy pair of jeans with selvage. I already knew my first 634S was something special, but I never thought I´ll be so addicted to IH. The last couple of months, as a forummember, opened my eyes. This is the ultimate brand.

[Snowy]

JCM, Feel EXACTLY the same way! From the first day of wearing the 634S' I knew they were something special and within a week had signed up here and within 6 months had visited IH-HQ to pay homage

Did anyone wax his jacket?
