    After 5 years hard work and a lot of fishing trips…...Inside lower arms....

      @neph93  looking very nice with the denim vest. I’m still trying to figure out whether to go with a medium or large. I could feasibly do the medium, but it may be a bit short. Large would definitely work but be tad roomy.  I waffle back and forth.

      @Giles  Love that you wear it so much and find it versatile. Is that wear pattern from a watch?

        I take XL in UHF’s and tend towards L in most IH jackets (N-1’s, M65’s etc). I took this in XL and I’m glad I did. L would have been too small over anything other than a tee (and maybe then too short in the arm and body). I could get a UHF under the XL but I’d feel a bit stuffed.

          No, just my inner arm rubbing against my body, when I am fishing and casting, that happens a lot….

            Sorry I took it mean literally “inside” the sleeve.  Thanks Reuben, I’ll stick with the large when I finally get one.

              Any chance of you posting a fit pic and let me know your height and weight? I have to order online and would hate to have to pay all that money for return costs? Thanks in advance. I take XL in my UHF Flannels too in work shirts and XXL in Westerns and am 6 foot 195lbs.

                I rarely wear it without a vest so the ones a few posts up are as good as I can do. Here are a couple more in the same vein.

                I’m about the same height as you and a little heavier.

                          Had the opportunity to take some pics with just the jacket. No vests in the way, just poor light and photobombing from the kids.

                            @neph93 You and the crew look great.  Safety vests due to low light conditions?  …it’s a pretty good idea for keeping them visible.

                                Great jacket Rueben. XL was the right size for sure. You aren’t swimming but it looks like plenty of room to layer, even if it gets snug.

                                  Correct. From October the mornings are quite dark so we start already then. Obviously the sun is barely visible now so poor light is the only light we get. Soon it will be dark all the time. Most adults wear hi vis gear too at this time of year.

                                  The attitude to public safety in the traffic is the reverse of the UK and, I suspect, the USA. Everyone has a  responsibilty and the quicker and bigger you are in traffic the more responsibilty you have.

                                    So, i have ridden around 2500km on the bike with this jacket and i am still happy with it.
                                    My regular layering system is: merino T-shirt, cashmere jumper, IHJ-79-BLK, leather jacket.

                                    Down to 8C it keeps me warm up to motorway speeds (140km/h) for long stretches of time.
                                    Below 8C i cannot sustain motorway speeds for more than an hour before i start to get cold.
                                    At slower speeds (say 50 to 90km/h) i can go as low as 3C and still feel nice and toasty for hours at a time.

                                    All in all i am really satisfied, only thing i would change is the A shape to a more V shape, but that's a problem i have with all IH tops.

                                    I still don't think i could justify paying this much for a casual jacket to walk around in, but on the bike it has a bunch of nice features that really work well.
                                    Highly recommended if you ride in the cold.

                                      Great job @Carlos840 documenting the thermal functionality of this piece. 👍🏼👍🏼

                                      For me, this jacket thermally covers nearly all my needs as I infrequently wear it in really cold conditions. Your data should be of good use when I take those occasional trips. Cheers.

                                      The journey is the objective.

                                        Two days ago i received my Klim Kodiak riding suite, i ordered it with the intention of using it when i go for long rides in winter, it is also better in the rain than leather.
                                        It came with a thin down puffer jacket (800fill). Just out of interrest i decided to compared the down jacket to the primaloft IH and was blown away by how much warmer the Klim down jacket was.
                                        Even when worn underneath my leather jacket i can sustain much higher speeds without ever feeling cold, it is far superior to the primaloft.

                                        The only two advantages the IH has over the Kilm are the fact that primaloft retains warmth even when wet/damp, and the fact that the nylon outer shell is much stronget and less likely to be damaged if handled roughly.
                                        Comfort wise i prefer the pattern of the Klim, it doesn't have the tight shoulders of the IH and it is much warmer. As long as the weather is cold enough to prevent overheating and sweating (sweating in down sucks as once it becomes damp it looses all warmth)

                                        Basically i think that from now on i am just going to keep the IH as a "keep it in the paniers at all times just in case i get cold during the day", it is tought enough that i won't worry about it getting damaged in there.

                                        If it is really cold and i am leaving home with layers on knowing the weather will be cold i will wear the Klim.
