IHJ-75-KHA - Primaloft® Gold and eVent® Mountain Parka - Khaki
-
I also have the first version of this jacket and can attest to the sheer warmth with it on. I would even go as far to say that if you're doing something physically active whilst wearing this jacket, it may be too warm to wear. Of course depending on how quickly your body creates heat, but shovelling snow or out on a brisk walk and I'm starting to get over-toasty!
I really like the khaki color, if I didn't already have the version 1 jacket that fits me like a glove, then I would have snatched up the khaki flavour!
@Giles, have you considered making a bottom/pants version with the same design ethos as the jacket? Perhaps an overall?

It really is, winds up looking pretty trim for a jacket of its technical ability.

i think kenta or someone from the hachioji store told me they wear it to go snowboarding.. the jealousy on my face was unmissable..

This jacket would be even greater for snowboarding if it had pit zip vents.

Just grabbed the last small and quite like it. The primary use aside from a warm winter jacket will be high altitude winter camping, and I wanted a jacket that will function but also look good. I'm curious about the fabric though. Pertex and eVent are competing brands, but both are stated. It appears to be eVent based on tags, but Pertex Shield is named in a few places. My impression is that IH switched from Pertex Shield to of of the event DV fabrics (my older IHJ-11, for example, has a Pertex Shield tag where this has the eVent waterproof tag). Am I misunderstanding something? Which specific eVent one is it this, btw?
Cheesing it up:

Cool, thanks. It looks like the fabric section online still says Pertex, btw.

Brought it out to Aspen this past weekend. I decided to see how it would handle in a hike up Highland Peak (12392' / 3777 meters) at Aspen Highlands. I had to unzip pretty quickly, but I didn't feel nearly as sweaty as I would have in older down jackets. That said, I felt very sufficiently warm in cold temps with just a t-shirt, though I doubt I had anything below 10 F / -12 C, so it wasn't really all that cold.
Everyone hiking up hoping for first turns (you can see the looooong line way up there):

I’ve wanted one of these for years.
I have absolutely zero reason to own it other than I think it looks cool

I was chatting to a customer who has one yesterday. What he said is remarkable about it, is that when it is severely cold, it does it's job, but when it is cool/warm you do not overheat whilst wearing it. This guy has had every brand of high end outdoor gear there is, in his opinion, this jacket has no equal…..Floridian heat may be pushing the boundaries though.......
