      the primaloft mountain parka and the cotton mix has certainly caught my eye. what's the technical differences between those two besides the difference in fabric.. would one say be more waterproof and wind proof than the other?

        One is lined with Primaloft, the other is effectively a shell.  I think the Mountain parka will be more windproof because and the cotton mix jacket more windproof.

          Thanks Giles, so there is also a Johnny Cash 3 workshirt in the pipeline?

          Likely to take a while. Just spoke to Japan, we are still trying to work out how to sew the button holes so that they do not randomly fail

              and to add: the IHJ-75 is serious winter gear with ace isolation, while the IHJ-80 cotton mix mountain parka is a layer n shell piece

                      Thanks!

                      right. i thought primaloft was the fabric on the outside. didn't realise it was a sort of thermal lining on the inside. the primaloft pertex shell seems to be the one i gearing towards. especially with it being waterproof.. the pockets location looks good too!

                          That sounds like a challenge! 😃

                              Thanks for the update Giles. I hope the button holes can be figured out.

                                are you daring me?  😛 😛

                                i would honestly love something waterproof on those dreadful cold rainy days down at football or even on nights out around town.. i'm really torn between the two but having a gore-tex like fabric like the pertex seems to appeal more than the other.

                                i'd love to see more photos of the interior of the two compared if and when they become available. right now, the 75 only shows 1 image..

                                  The IHJ-80 is definitely the better option for this mate

                                      One is lined with Primaloft, the other is effectively a shell.  I think the Mountain parka will be more windproof because and the cotton mix jacket more WATERPROOF.

                                      Fixed correctly - sorry for the confusion.

                                      IHJ-75 will be more windproof and warmer, the IHJ-80 less warm but completely waterproof (and windproof too, just without insulation)

                                        Feck, I have IHJ-39 and it is perfect winter jacket (when temperature drops down to -25 celsius)..

                                            Thanks. i was reading it the other way round the whole time. they're definitely both great jackets. Also thanks for the photos link G. they look amazing!
