    Is the velcro on the sleeves white or tan (on the khaki version). The pic with Sam shows tan while the pic with Alex shows white.

    The journey is the objective.

      Alex wears the first sample.  Production is with tan…...

        I also have the first version of this jacket and can attest to the sheer warmth with it on.  I would even go as far to say that if you're doing something physically active whilst wearing this jacket, it may be too warm to wear.  Of course depending on how quickly your body creates heat, but shovelling snow or out on a brisk walk and I'm starting to get over-toasty!

        I really like the khaki color, if I didn't already have the version 1 jacket that fits me like a glove, then I would have snatched up the khaki flavour!

        @Giles, have you considered making a bottom/pants version with the same design ethos as the jacket?  Perhaps an overall?

            I'd be a very happy toasty camper if those pants/overalls ever get made!  ???

              Had the luxury of trying this on in Hachioji yesterday. absolutely brilliant. i know i probably never will push it to it's limits but this is such a good jacket!  😢

                  It really is, winds up looking pretty trim for a jacket of its technical ability.

                  Think it, be it.

                    i think kenta or someone from the hachioji store told me they wear it to go snowboarding.. the jealousy on my face was unmissable..  😞

                      This jacket would be even greater for snowboarding if it had pit zip vents.

                        It certainly needs them for any aerobic activity…..

                          Just grabbed the last small and quite like it. The primary use aside from a warm winter jacket will be high altitude winter camping, and I wanted a jacket that will function but also look good. I'm curious about the fabric though. Pertex and eVent are competing brands, but both are stated. It appears to be eVent based on tags, but Pertex Shield is named in a few places. My impression is that IH switched from Pertex Shield to of of the event DV fabrics (my older IHJ-11, for example, has a Pertex Shield tag where this has the eVent waterproof tag). Am I misunderstanding something? Which specific eVent one is it this, btw?

                          Cheesing it up:

                            It's eVent @cander49. We mention so in the description but didn't update the forum accordingly. I imagine the previous iteration would've been Pertex. Apologies for any confusion!

                            The devil is in the detail..

                              Cool, thanks. It looks like the fabric section online still says Pertex, btw.

                                That's since been updated. Great fit mate! Hope it keeps you warm. I can still recall Giles looking particularly smug in minus 10 last year in NYC whilst I struggled in a deck jacket.

                                    Brought it out to Aspen this past weekend. I decided to see how it would handle in a hike up Highland Peak (12392' / 3777 meters) at Aspen Highlands. I had to unzip pretty quickly, but I didn't feel nearly as sweaty as I would have in older down jackets. That said, I felt very sufficiently warm in cold temps with just a t-shirt, though I doubt I had anything below 10 F / -12 C, so it wasn't really all that cold.

                                    Everyone hiking up hoping for first turns (you can see the looooong line way up there):

                                    On or near the summit:

                                    Looking towards Maroon Bells area from the summit area:
