IHJ-75-KHA - Primaloft® Gold and eVent® Mountain Parka - Khaki

@Alex - any tips on washing these? not sure how to care for this beast...cheers!

[goosehd]

@Inorganic Have you tried spot cleaning it with water and a little soap? With it being waterproof, I would doubt that a stain would permeate the fabric.

@Inorganic This is the info from the Pertex website: https://pertex.com/care-repair/

[Inorganic]

Hey @goosehd - no I haven't tried anything yet - I tend not to experiment with my IH pieces to avoid buggering something up (even though they are clearly capable of taking a beating).

good point about the stain likely not permeating the fabric. what about indigo? does that ever wash out? I would assume so because it bleeds out of the original garments...

[goosehd]

@Inorganic To be honest, I really don't know. The indigo (in my mind) would be like any other stain (surface only) and should be able to wash out.

When in doubt, I always test wash a spot that is not really visible to see how it reacts.

@Inorganic +1 on spot cleaning for sure.

I have just translated the care label and we are looking at hand wash only in 40c heat max and line dry and do not not anything else, no machine washing, no bleach, no tumble and no iron.

Hope this helps!

this is very helpful - thank you for taking the time to decipher the care label.

Just pulled the trigger on an XL khaki … super excited and ready to brave the Canadian winter

[Chaintitch]

Pics @Brandrea ?!

(Will these be restocked at some point @Alex ?)

@Chaintitch

It’s been too warm to wear it here yet … it’s been on a hanger since it arrived.

Well that’s not exactly true … I try it on a bunch just because it’s so awesome!

I’ll try to post up a picture here soon.

FWIW, I’m 6’2” 180 “bs and went with an XL. I love how it fits.

@Brandrea sidenote: smart idea with pool noodles and giving those narrow hangers more girth - def. going to be stealing this idea.

Thanks, a trick a learned from the Fedora Lounge and my leather jacket.

[Alex]

@Chaintitch no plans to, no

@Chaintitch

We finally had a miserable, cold, drizzly, WINDY day here in Canada and I had the opportunity to wear this jacket.

It performed flawlessly, and I was toasty warm with just a tee shirt underneath.

I can’t decide if I should take this jacket or my N1 to Switzerland for the Christmas holidays ….

[Giles]

If you are skiing, take this one. It copes better than the N1 at dispelling heat when needed.....

[Chaintitch]

@Brandrea Looks amazing!

@Giles Every time I spot the Velcro on the sleeve, I immediately think about how amazing these would look in Coyote/Camel...

P.S. The idea of someone skiing in an N-1 is hilarious.

[Brandrea]

@Giles

I read up on this jacket pretty extensively before buying it. I read that in one of your earlier posts… I can also attest to the fact that it’s toasty warm, but I don’t sweat in it.

Not that I sweat in my N1, but I do notice a difference.

Thanks Giles … I just love all my IH pieces!

[Brandrea]

@Chaintitch

Thank you and fair enough, but I think it’d look pretty badass lol

That said, I’ll probably take this parka. It’s also lighter wearing (if that makes sense).

I've skied in a UHF and also an Aero Half Belt......
