IHJ-136-BLK - Waterproof Jacket - Black
-
@louisbosco re: external bag for packing down...I dont think it needs it. For me it good enough if I fold arms in, then roll body up into hood. Cinch jacket body in hood and voila!

Obviously smiling because of that lovely jacket

I "always" do, but Szymon is younger, stronger and most importantly more stupid than me. So he thinks that he does not need a "pussy belt", but the fish are stronger pound for pound this year. So if he hooks up, he steals mine, then if I hook up whilst he is playing his fish (which has happened 3 times this trip so far), I have to fight with no belt until either he boats his fish, or I boat mine.

Any advice on sizing for this @Ross / IH Crew hive mind?
I own absolutely nothing that is even remotely like it (hence my beady eye on it).
Would like to size it to wear over a shirt/flannel, which then should also cover me for over a tee if required.- 90% of my IH shirts are XXL (a few XXXLs)
- IHM-34 M51 in XL
- IHM-35 N1 in XXL
- IHSW-10’s in XL
All of the above either regular or relaxed fit.
Any thoughts?
If it comes to it I’ll just order 2 sizes and send one back...
-
@long_john86 in the hope it helps, the measurements for this (except length) are pretty close to those on the IHJ-131-RED I bought earlier this year. The measurements on that confused me too but I went with my most common size in work shirts. When the crew share what size they wear, that should confirm - my usual reference guys and some who sometimes size down relative to me were all going with the size I thought I needed.
-
@ARNC Thanks for this, really useful. Means I can look at the thread for that jacket as well
As I am staring out of the window watching the rain come smashing down I am reminded what an absolutely essential jacket this will be… ‘grim up nurth’ n all that.
We have that really annoying rain that soaks you through as well
-
@long_john86 ^ Looks like this is a 'same as normal' or size down for most of the crew. Hope that's helpful!

@Ross How thick is this shell? Does it compare to 2 or 3L Gore? or is it more substantial like the IHJ-80? RN I’m thinking of grabbing this in Medium (one size down from my usual ‘large’ IH jacket). Is there a lot of variance these dimensions? Any idea what size Johnny would take? Thanks for the help.

@Boit said in IHJ-136-BLK - Waterproof Jacket - Black:
Does it compare to 2 or 3L Gore?
We call this triple layer, so I guess like 3L Gore, but im not a technical fabric buff, so I may misunderstand you.or is it more substantial like the IHJ-80?
No, its way less substantial than the IHJ-80, in part due to it being unlined. @Giles has both, and may be able to do you side by side comparisons tomorrow when he wakes up
-
@Alex Thank you.
much appreciated -
@Boit no worries. Also, I own a IHJ-80, and whilst I dont have it here in Philly, nor do i have the IHJ-136, from memory they are completley different beasts. The IHJ-80 feels like a standalone jacket that i wear over a tee, this feels like a shell i would wear over warm clothes in a cold storm, for eg
-
Thanks for that description. That’s what I was hoping to hear and confirms what I am seeing/expecting.

@Alex this is really useful info and partly why I’m considering not sizing down on this - ideally it would be able to be thrown over say a flannel and CPO combo as a waterproof ‘layer’. Still can’t quite make my mind up though…
@ross @Alex Any chance of a photo or two of it over some core items in the same tag size? E.g. the 33 / 232 / 292 / 293? Just to get a feel of how it falls/sits over a shirt - and also to get a feel of the length in comparison to westerns of the same tag size. No worries if not.
