IHJ-59 - Cordura Nylon Camouflage Windbreaker Jacket

[Sam]

Yeah that's how i felt when i first moved here @Aetas… now it's an expensive pain in the butt.

Saying that, it is fun taking the ferry with someone for the first time. @PattyCakez loved it at first.

I enjoy the ferry…

Just wish I remembered they were return tickets.

Such a nice option to have in the IH arsenal…

Is this jacket breathable or not at all?

[Giles]

No…..

Got this one inbound. Any idea how to waterproof this jacket? Or… is it necessary at all?

Great purchase. I'm looking hard at this myself. I think it's more water resistant than waterproof.

Seriously great jacket.

It is a pretty solid cordura shell so I would be surprised if it let a great deal of moisture through.

With the sale coming up Friday, this may end up making its way to my closet

Yes, I'm positive it can resist a drizzle for quite a while, but considering the weather forecast for Germany this might not suffice If it was cotton I would wax it - which doesn't make sense for nylon I guess. Any ideas?

It's not a rain jacket so don't try to make it one.  Nylon is water resistant enough to keep you dry 95% of the time in Germany.

If you want a truly waterproof rain jacket then get one with a membrane such as Gore-Tex or eVent.

yep…

I was thinking that myself.

I had not bought one yet as I really wanted a hooded summer jacket, and thought maybe in future, such a jacket would be released.

Makes sense.

UPS delivered today. Killer jacket!

Will there ever be a re-run of these?

I have this one but want 10 more in every camo style. Artic, tiger, frog skin etc.

Unfortunately camo doesn’t seem to sell well and IH rarely uses it. I find that a bit surprising since many other Japanese brands release lots of camo products.

We were talking the other day about retrying some camo options, actually

I'm pretty sure I saw a camo windbreaker in size large at the Kentaurus booth at the Heritage Post Tradeshow last weekend, and it's not on their website. Might be this model, might have been a different one. I can swing by to find out more this week, if anyone is interested.

@tody There was a camo jacket released a few years ago. The 59 is much older. The newer one is thinner and doesn’t have a zipper.
