IHJ-12-BLK - Black Fleece Lined Cordura Windbreaker
-
I appreciate that logos aren't for everyone. I like subtle logos, not keen on slogans.
I'd have loved this jacket with the black on black IH logo like my old brown IHJ 12 had, but I'm losing no sleep over the fact mine doesn't.
I'd say this jacket is a great outdoor layering piece. Like others, I wear with a sweat or UHF. One thing to note, this jacket does not breathe, at all, in the slightest, which can make it uncomfortable if you are doing much more activity than a rigorous walk.
@Giles do you know if there is a practical reason why these can't be lined with a cotton twill or similar? (has that been discussed and dismissed?). It would make wear a little more comfortable.
Only reason I can think is that it would make cleaning them difficult as the lining might shrink and shell remain the same. I'd be interested to know.

Moisture retention happens anyway, it's just retained in the base layers you are wearing if they are made of cotton. I can live with it, just wondered whether the discussion had been had at design stage.
Ultimately I love this jacket and it plugged a gap in my jacket needs between my M65 and N1. I do feel like I could fall off a building, hit the ground, and not sustain a scratch if was wearing Cordura. Forgive me if I don't test that theory though

Indeed. Much easier to chuck a cotton tee in the wash… having moisture stock on the cotton lining would result in mildew.
I think that it is often useful to consider the bike riders perspective when it comes to IH design choices. As you have observed, it does not breath. So it keeps wind out and warmth on the inside while riding, moisture is released when unzipped, and the lack of cotton lining mean it airs out quickly on the back of a chair.

Because I picked up the version that went to the retailers, it has the logo.
Retailers were given the choice of logo or no logo, they always are if we are going to offer "with or without"
I was wondering about that because the stocklist on page 1 only showed IHUK. So I was surprised when Snake Oil Provisions listed the product, logo or no-logo.

Sausage fingers. I'll fix
I checked with AJ, because the printed version has a different Lot Number it was missed when he looked to see which retailers were taking these. Obviously, in retrospect, we should have included both versions.
Iron Heart Hamburg also took the printed version, so I have updated the stockist's post.
