IHJ-152-BLK - CORDURA® Fleece Lined Windbreaker - Black

[68degreesorless]

This vs the ihj 153 primaloft….which would you go with and why? What are the key differences to consider? I’d probably be using as a travel jacket and occasionally around town. Which is lighter, more packable, more wind/water resistant?

[AdamJ]

if you want something water resistant, the cordura is the way to go.

Something to keep you warm and a bit more packable, then primaloft.

Both excellent options for the colder months

Are 4XLs coming soon? Was stoked to see this, hoping more sizes are on the way

@68degreesorless As a person who owns the original Primaloft jacket and the original unlined Cordura Windbreaker, I can say the Primaloft is VERY appropriate for colder environments that have high winds. The Cordura Windbreaker definitely blocks wind and the other elements, but it won't keep you that warm. It's a great shell over hoodies. I got an XL, but lost like 30 pounds in the past 2 years, so it's a bit big on me. However, because of the extra space, it's great for layering. What I can say is that the Primaloft jacket is absolutely awesome for outdoor night concerts in San Francisco / Bay Area weather. It's very light, keeps you warm, and completely blocks the wind. Above all, the pockets are perfect! I'm glad they went back to the original configuration with this new iteration. I just purchased the lined Cordura Windbreaker this morning, and I can't wait to get it in the mail. Seriously, I don't think you will regret getting either one.

@sgelam super helpful thank you. Would be glad to hear your thoughts on the fleece lined version vs the primaloft once you get it. Seems like with the fleece, it could be pretty warm too. Also wondering if it’s a lot heavier and bulkier or just a little.

@grambosaurus I am tagging @ShopatIronHeart for confirmation, but I do not think so as the product has already went live and possibly sold out.

[Ross]

@grambosaurus Yep, can confirm what @goosehd has said, these came in, went live and sold out very swiftly, unfortunately we're not expecting any more XXXXLs

[grambosaurus]

I dunno what magic y'all worked but a single 4xl showed back up overnight so I snagged it. Many thanks to whoever made that happen!

Is this jacker warmer than the IHJ-38 - Diamond Quilted Primaloft Riders Jacket?

[AdamJ]

@RubyRae "warmer" is largely subjective based on how hot/cold you run. However, I would say the Primaloft will keep you warmer.

[RubyRae]

@AdamJ Ya, I should have phrased that as better insulating properties and/or wind resistance? It's tricky to tell because the CORDURA looks a bit tougher and wind resistant on outer shell, and the PrimaLoft appears better in keeping the warmth in vs the fleece. Both very nice versatile jackets.
Thank you!

Does anyone from the IH team know why a 60% acrylic 40% poly fleece was chosen?
From my experience with other companies only acrylic fleece tends to be very cheep feeling.

@lolnah Hi! The consensus is that first and foremost this mix is for warmth, and also to enable the garment to be washed and ease of care; similar to the reasoning behind the boa lining in the latest deck vest.
