IHJ-79-BLK - Primaloft® Gold Quilted Riders Jacket - Black

[SKT]

@neph93 I’m excited you picked this up!  Is the XL just right?  No way I can swing it this season but it’s at the top of my list for ‘22.

I’m excited to start wearing it.

I was considering the L, but that would have been a mistake. I can wear the XL over either one or two layers and in addition, the L would have been too short.

Shout out to @Graham for going to great lengths to demonstrate the fit of the two sizes for me.

Glad the sizing worked out. I think large is the call for me when the time comes. Im amazed at how far the technology of insulation has come since the early days of synthetic. PrimaLoft Gold paired with IH quality and design… perfect.

@neph93 Sincerest apologies for not chiming in on this sooner.  You will find that this jacket is indispensable for your/my climate.  I use it alone for those weird days (cold, clammy) or biting cold ones for layering (N1 Vests and Jackets) from fall - spring.  The high collar and fitted cuffs keep the cold and snow out.

It is probably my number one layering piece of IH that I own.  It looks good on it's own which is also a huge plus in my books.

Glad to see that you picked one up!!

@Giles:

I'm so pleased that this item is beginning to get the love that I always felt it deserved.

Perhaps in the dark khaki from the IHJ-100-KHA next FW?

Ugh.  I would not be able to resist this in other colors.

I’ve been wondering if you guys think a drawstring at the hem would be useful on this jacket or just an unnecessary expense?

Can’t say I’ve felt the need for one. My XL is just around shirt length on me so I feel like the risky area at waist level is well covered.

I can't imagine,anyone riding in that jacket wanting a draw string hanging down or flapping around.

Makes sense. I don’t ride so I often forget who this is specifically designed for.  Good to hear Reuben. I’m just pining away now until next fall for this thing.

[Giles]

Never felt the need for one….

Ha… funny thing.

I’ve worn this with different layers the last few days, trying it out for warmth. Had it over a tee yesterday, with an 18oz type III vest over it. Temps were 6C with a cold, sea breeze and it was sunny. It was almost too warm [emoji1]

Wore it for the school run today with the typeIII and a heavier sweater under. Temps 2C. It was toasty but a cold easterly wind was sneaking up under the opening. I adjusted my sweater and went to pull down the jacket. Lo’ and behold,  a draw string! [emoji23] Very technical, very well hidden. The pulls are on the side and barely visible… it works great.

hahahahaha - just found that mine has them too….

It really is well hidden. How long have you had yours?

[Giles]

5 years or so

AJ will add a bullet and a photo on the product page…..

I did check the page when the question was asked…

Looks like late autumn in N. Norway is good at revealing the design qualities of this gear. Looking forward to the deep midwinter.

This cracked me up!  At least now I don’t have to worry about being crazy for asking about it. Sounds useful to me… especially because I’m leaning towards sizing up and it could come in handy. Thanks for discovering it @neph93

I've been wearing this for a couple of week now and I can say it's very comfortable. So light, so warm and a great fit. If it's getting colder I will wear a N1 vest on top. A great jacket.

@Carlos840:

My only issue with it is the price

Don't think of the monetary cost, instead consider the value.
