IHM-27-OLV - Sateen M-65 Field Jacket - Olive

[Chaintitch]

So this version is still going to be referred to as a 27, despite the change to nickel zips?

[Giles]

Yep, Haraki did not chage the Lot Number and it's too late for us to retro change all the references to it and the labels etc etc etc

[Chaintitch]

…Any chance I also got my other wish, and the hood is now ventile?!? 

[Giles]

Maybe…..

[Chaintitch]

Don't toy with my emotions, G…  ???

[Giles]

I don't think it is.  But will be confirmed when the product goes live.  The lining definitely is though….

[Chaintitch]

Ugh.  Respectfully, the nylon hood is so… unfitting.   

[Giles]

It will be what it is, whatever it is, it cant be changed…..My suspicions are that it is still ripstop.....

Is this one good for cold weather conditions? Any ideas of wearing this one without layering and getting through the Western European winter?

I have one, live in the UK. Its a fucking great jacket.

It shits all over my RMC one.

I can heartily confirm that I have never used the hood.

Am I dreaming, or was there a thread there someone compared the two? The IH version and the Real McCoy

You're not dreaming, it's actually this very thread!  Look for a post by tangfj.

I tried finding the other day, but didn’t look in the obvious place.  ::)

The "See Product in Shop" throws a 404 error. Will this be fixed once the product goes live tomorrow?

[Giles]

Yes, the product is not live, whilst we update it…

[Alex]

The hood is 100% polyester ripstop

[Chaintitch]

We were SO close…

  Cheers mate.  I happen to be a guy that loves a nice hood. Especially when conditions are wet…

Guys, so what is the conclusion! Is this Jacket suitable for western winter? With the IHSH- Wabash shirt underneath, can one withstand the cold temperatures between 1 and 5 °C? I know this is a subjective question, but just thought someone who already owns this would be able to share their experience!

Really can't help you. Don't have one and I live in country that has much colder winters than that. It doesn't have a thick insulating lining so my guess would be a "no", at least not with just a shirt under. That is only a guess though.

I’m with neph. This isn’t meant to be a winter jacket. I doubt it’s near as warm as a primaloft layer, wool, or a deck jacket—but I don’t personally own one from IH.
