IHJ-06 - Fleece Lined Cordura Winter Breaker

[jbphoto23]

G do you know the measurements for the XS?

I don't think I'd be layering much with this..doesn't get super cold very often in Southern California. I'll know within a couple days whether I can pick one of these up.

I'll measure on Tuesday

thanks! by then I will know for sure.

I actually just measured a jacket i have…and the measurements are pretty damn close to the small in the cordura..so I think I'd probably go for a small in this. Thanks for everything though G! You're extremely helpful and accommodating , and it's much appreciated.
oh and hope you have a great time in Japan!

I do really love this jacket.. Hopefully it gets a little more form fitting on me  So damn stubborn!

so question… im currently looking for an outdoors jacket for 20-40 F .... and im kind of wondering what people have to say (and with what layering, mind you)

Pretty cold.. So layering with this jacket? Or any Jacket in general? What comes to mind for me is Canada Goose, you can look them up on BIG's site if you want, but if you mean this jacket. Then wear a hoody underneath and move around a lot  ;D. The 40- below though, you may want to go for Canada Goose, North face even.Your best bet is to probably look at  "outdoor performance brands"

[cowsareforeating]

oh i meant 20 to POSITIVE 40… but yeah it was either this + softshell layers OR canada goose/feathered friends.

[Jpo1932]

Haha Ohh alright. Well I guess it just depends what your using it for. If your just being casual, I would get the winterbreaker, super warm and ultra durable. If your looking for something to do "outdoor" things. Then I would go with Canada goose or some other brand

[Jpo1932]

Apologize for the double post, but layering makes this fit way better, so I guess this apply's to the thinner people out there…

Looking forward to what the measurements turn out being on the XS

So Giles did send the 06 over for pics - and damn, that jacket blew my mind.
The Cordura is way sturdier than I expected it to be - the fleece lining makes it super comfy and perfect for the season.

nice pictures

its 43F in the morning, i could sure use this right about now.

[farmer]

Awesome beatle. Fits you great. That olive/khaki is tempting.

[thewickett]

for sure farmer. If I end up buying one, beats should get a commission 

[Beatle]

Farmer - with ur kind of work I am sure you could use this jacket - a lot. I was seriously undecided about the whole Cordura thing - but - fit is really nice to wear a hoody or shirt underneath - and the material is extra heavy , and I bike literally every day no matter what the weather is like - and this feels a lot better than Hyvent or Goretex.

Oh - and for sizing - ur normal IH size is perfect, that isn't a jacket to be worn with nothing but a T

Does anybody own the brown one or has some pics to show? :>
I would be very thankful for it!

Cordura is a great compromise material - and I mean that positively - it may not be waterproof (like Goretex) or as elastic as Schoeller but it is very water resistant, breathable and very hard wearing. A great choice for this kind of jacket.

I'm afraid Hyvent wouldn't make my list for any reason tho'

We actually polyeurethene coat the reverse of the Cordura before construction, thus making it super waterproof…..
