yep, was a cold day, so obviously not taken in the last days…

8C in northern Norway today [emoji32]I'm wearing an ihtl-1700 and an ihv-24. I'm warm enough but only just [emoji15]

[rocket]

could share some heat…

[neph93]

Yeah, you've got a few degrees to spare there [emoji28]

We've been in the low 30's for the past few days in Suffolk…..

[Giles]

Is that the low 1930's?

And that's just "mostly sunny"…....

In danger of rotting the thread further, but I wore my UHR BB's two days this past week and a UHF today. I've said it before but one major plus with where I live is heavy gear (almost) all year round.

    envious sigh .. and still sweating

I'm burning up too

Testing with the new IHSH-62-WH (and the IH-634S-B).  I need to wear the vest more often…

Guys - how does one size a vest? (I've seen the vid on how to measure a vest.) On a shirt, I mostly look at shoulders (I like around 19") and P2P (I like 22"-to-23"), but vests are cut differently and I'm not sure what to look for. I'd appreciate your advice…

Knowing how you want it to fit is important. Will you wear it over a tee or a shirt? Do you want belt showing at the front and/or back? With these questions in mind, chest and length are generally the most important features.

EDIT: I have some experience in this area so if you let me know the answers to the above, I’d be happy to help.

I’d add that arm holes become an issue when layering the heavier outerwear vests.

Thank you.

@JDelage:

Thank you.

My pleasure.

Please note that IH’s workvests have a P2P that sits lower on the body than a tee or shirt so these can seem misleading. As an example I need 57-58cm in a UHF, 52-53cm in a close fitting tee and 51-53cm for a close fitting vest over a tee or henley.

[JDelage]

Ah, good to know. That would explain

Seeing some recent pics in the Vest Fans thread reminded me that this has been on my want/need list for far too long, so I’ve just ordered 
Slightly unsure of how this will fit so I’ve picked both L and XL - my IHV-02 IND is L and snug, whilst both my IHV-09 and IHV-16 are XL and comfortable.

@tmg  probably a good idea. Vests have to be one of the trickiest things to fit correctly. I've always liked this myself but still haven't gotten hold of it…it's a beauty.
