IHJ-08 - PrimaLoft™ Quilted Nylon Jacket

[SKT]

@sabergirl Nice! Now I’ll have to keep my eyes peeled for one…just add it to the list.

I’ve always liked this pattern over the diamond pattern. How do you feel about the fit. Tried the current version on in Denver and feel like I’d need to size up one to wear comfortably with anything other than a tee. The L seemed right but I hate sizing up.

@Matt your mediums are going to get upset if they hear this “large” talk

You know it. Ear muffs team…

@SKT Thank you, just constantly watching out for any gems that I can find in my size which is pretty rare I'm not sure if the insulation is exactly the same, but they're both insulated with PrimaLoft.

@sabergirl Thank you, I agree, this is a very functional jacket. I still believe that the IHJ-79 with a hood (preferably hidden/stowable) would be super nice.

@Matt I have to say, I actually prefer the diamond pattern of the IHJ-79. However, the pattern wasn't a deal-breaker, since this version is super rare to find, I was able to buy it for a very good price and it's surprisingly in absolutely great condition.

Regarding the fit: I've tried both the IHJ-79 and this in my size (S) which is what I'd go with for everything IH except for maybe UHF (I'd say, between S and M with a light tendency towards the latter). Both feel very snug and restrictive around the upper arms and armpits when raising my arms. Same with a T-Shirt, but slightly more mobility and relief. With an IH thermal/hoodie or a medium weight wool pullover over a T-Shirt, mainly and especially the arms (which are cut quite slim in both this and the IHJ-79) are snug/uncomfortable. I don't think that sizing up would remedy that at all, as, after trying both versions, I've come to the understanding that it's definitely the cut of the jacket that makes it tight in those areas. Thus, I agree with your reluctance of not wanting to size up. I believe that one size up from your regular size would/could look weird (bunching up, too long etc.) in all the wrong areas. You'd perhaps have some more mobility, but ultimately, it wouldn't be worth spending a lot of money on an ill-fitting jacket. I can report back more on my experiences and impressions when I've used the jacket a bit more if you (and others?) are interested and I don't forget

Mine is a large, @Matt which is a size up from my other IH outerwear. Though I do have some shirts in large, and am perpetually between sizes.

Boom! Thanks @Clint_D

[sabergirl]

What a score @weftyarn. Looks great on you.

[Clint_D]

Looks like a great fit, so glad it worked out!

One of the best tech pieces Ih has made IMO

Love this things. 20min bike ride to the office in heavy rain and other than my SBGs everything remained cozy and dry

Definitely shows some evo already. Once it’s worthy to share you’ll find a post in the right thread.

Uh wait, you’re a mod now right? If you run out of work I can post it somewhere else for you to find and move it

@weftyarn temporary ban incoming

[Nocturama]

Temporary?

[Giles]

It is with deep regret that I will have to bury my IHJ-08 today. It has worked incredibly hard for me over the long time I have had it, but it has eventually given up, the zipper is completely corroded from many a dunk in the sea, and it is just not worth replacing as I have worn holes in it all over the place...

The remarkable thing is that it still looks really smart (from a distance), I just cant zip it up....

RIP

Praying for a rerun....
