    @motojobobo Curious, would you wear it underneath as a layer, or by itself?

      I can give you my thoughts on it, if you like 🙂

      I wouldn’t feel the need to wear anything over it. Over the weekend I was outside most of the day wearing a tshirt, moleskin(216) and this and I was very warm. I had it unzipped a big chunk of the day In roughly 25-30deg temps with some snow and wind.

      Short story is that its real warm

        Somehow missed your question @Jett129 , sorry about that.

        With our very mild winters here, never freezes, I plan to use it with tshirts or a shirt underneath while riding a bike around town. Occasionally on colder places that are a day trip from home, I can see using a UHF or a thermal under it. That should suffice for my weather here.

        How were you hoping to use it? Would you like to see a pic with something else under/over it? Let me know.

        The journey is the objective.

          One of my motorcycling philosophies is that you dress for the crash. So I thought you might be wearing something with a little more protection,possibly over it.

            Thanks for your comments @Jett129 and sorry for such a late response…

            You’re right about motorcycle safety philosophy and I admit to guilt of a double standard here. On my around town rides I’ll risk it and go without proper crash protection, ie this jacket or the leather ones from IH. These are very short and low speed rides.

            On longer, highway, higher speed rides I’ll dress properly for a crash. My most used proper bike jacket is a Klim mesh jacket which I need living in a tropical/subtropical region. That jacket comes up short for cold and/or wet stretches. So I’m also expecting to use this IHJ 79 as a layer under my Klim mesh one. Haven’t gotten a chance to test that configuration yet but I know it’ll happen on an April 10-day trip up the mountains.

            I was also considering the latest release, IHSW 45, as an option for the same function under my Klim jacket: windproof, waterproof. Haven’t handled the 45 yet but it sounds like it would be bulkier that this 79 as a layer. The lack of the technical layer on the throat area is also a downside for my use.

            The journey is the objective.

              Sorry if this has been asked before somewhere - Is the jacket waterproof?

                Nope, but it is warm when wet…

                        Haraki suggested releasing a jacket with an optional lining a few years ago.  I said "and what the fuck are you going to do with a load of linings that you have not sold at the end of the year?"  He changed his mind…..

                          I wear mine by itself. Even in the rain.

                          Had mine for five years roughly. An excellent and highly, highly, underrated bit of IH kit.

                            I love my IHJ-08 which is the same material. It performs okay to repel a light rain or snow, and if it does happen to get wet, you aren’t going to be cold. Also a genius layering piece under another light jacket.

                                My mind does occasionally wander into the gutter. On it’s way up from the sewer.
