      Just curious, besides the fur lined leather vest, what is the warmest one currently offered? I plan to wear it over a 21oz rider jacket or over a leather this winter.

      Thanks in advance!

        Without knowing the answer, and understanding that this may mar the aesthetic you're going for, it's likely warmest to wear the insulated vest beneath your leather jacket. Good luck, the forum has your answer.

        Think it, be it.

          Warmest IHSB-C3-Vee or IHSH-C3-Crew, then any of the deck vests…..

            I'll parrot Giles' answer, and then add to that the IHV-09.

            I haven't owned the IHV-09 myself, but I've owned the IHW-08 made from the same material, and it was a FURNACE… Few things are warmer than a close fitting THICK wool layer.

            Either way, I'm fairly sure you're talking about something currently in stock... Eliminating the "fur lined" ones (IHSB-C3's, IHV-22's and IHV-31's), the only thing that would be considered remotely "warm" would be the new IHV-32's.

              I'll weigh in again. As stated on the product thread, the IHV-31's are going to be the warmest of those available if the IHSB-C3's are not an option. The combination of wool/alpaca lining and whipcord means they have excellent wind resistance while keeping warmth in.

              I'll say this as well, it was about 25F/-4C this morning and I did the school run in a UHF with an undershirt, my IHSB-C3-Crew and hat and gloves. I was toasty.

              Another thing, @mclaincausey and @UnTucked are right, a solid vest under the jacket is the best way to combine the two garments on a purely practical level. The IHV-09 is brilliant for this.

                      Funny I’m the opposite. I wear IH to cover up a gorilla torso. Different strokes…

                        Thanks all. I appreciate the advice.

                        I'd wear the vest over the jackets because when I get to the bar, I usually like to keep my jacket on, so the vest is easier to take off and stash away.
