IHJ-06 - Fleece Lined Cordura Winter Breaker

[joeysullivan]

Wooo. Construction and details seems amazing. I'm quite tempted to pick one of the last in stock… I'm looking for something very warm (I live in the Alpes...) How warm is it compared to Technical/Gore-Tex/Mountain stuff ? Thank you guys.

Looking for sizing advice on the breaker…

I'm about 5'9" 150 lbs, waist 30. Have the flannel IHSH-32 and prefer the L shirt for layering, the M flannel fits just a hair too snug. I've tried on the IHSH-17 chambray in M and also found it to fit more like a shirt, the M not full enough to function as an overshirt.

But I'm leaning to an M on the breaker. Seeing pics of guys 5'10" wearing a small scares me away from an L...

It would function as a winter coat for me, where I'm at we certainly get harsh winter, snow, below zero temps, so I'd be layering with this a bit.

Beatle, what size is that you're wearing in the fit pics?

I'm 5-8 160 lbs
~18 inch shoulders
~38 inch chest

I got a medium. Perfect fit for me… a medium would probably be great for you as well. Layering works great for me also, just enough room.. but if your chest is a bit bigger than mine (in the 40 inch range) I would really consider a large if you're planning on layering.

thanks much, M sounds perfect

It's not what I would describe as 'very' warm; better with a down jacket or just layer up properly for low temperatures - the lining feels like Polartec 100 weight, but Cordura shell adds great weatherproofing . In my mind it does a fair job of being 'technical' but obviously the cut (and purpose) is different.
It feels windproof, it's very rainproof and tough as old boots . . . and looks the business - so basically, you should buy it - being the last one and all . . .

Wow This jacket is real tough! I feel as though it improves my posture. Wondering if it will ever break in?
