@AdamJ How much enjoyment did you feel in hosing @Giles down and how are you the one who got to do so?

Edit: I can imagine that there were a few of you who everyone volunteered for the task

Corrected that for you

Looked like a good 't-shirt fit' on Giles in the video. I'm hoping sizing down will work for those of us in milder but rainy environments.

I'd love a shot of it packed down too - give us an idea of how compact it will go.

Shame it doesn't also come in blue or green. Looks great.

@Oroccoco if the black does well, we will consider other options. This is a bit of a risk for us, as it's not super IH-y, but we are trying to dabble in some new areas alongside the normal stuff

@louisbosco re: external bag for packing down...I dont think it needs it. For me it good enough if I fold arms in, then roll body up into hood. Cinch jacket body in hood and voila!

Obviously smiling because of that lovely jacket

[Giles]

To be fair, the jacket is worth smiling about….

@Giles Glad to see you wearing a fighting belt this time

[Giles]

I "always" do, but Szymon is younger, stronger and most importantly more stupid than me. So he thinks that he does not need a "pussy belt", but the fish are stronger pound for pound this year. So if he hooks up, he steals mine, then if I hook up whilst he is playing his fish (which has happened 3 times this trip so far), I have to fight with no belt until either he boats his fish, or I boat mine.

Any advice on sizing for this @Ross / IH Crew hive mind?
I own absolutely nothing that is even remotely like it (hence my beady eye on it).
Would like to size it to wear over a shirt/flannel, which then should also cover me for over a tee if required.

• 90% of my IH shirts are XXL (a few XXXLs)
• IHM-34 M51 in XL
• IHM-35 N1 in XXL
• IHSW-10’s in XL
  All of the above either regular or relaxed fit.
  Any thoughts?
  If it comes to it I’ll just order 2 sizes and send one back...

[ARNC]

@long_john86 in the hope it helps, the measurements for this (except length) are pretty close to those on the IHJ-131-RED I bought earlier this year. The measurements on that confused me too but I went with my most common size in work shirts. When the crew share what size they wear, that should confirm - my usual reference guys and some who sometimes size down relative to me were all going with the size I thought I needed.

[long_john86]

@ARNC Thanks for this, really useful. Means I can look at the thread for that jacket as well
As I am staring out of the window watching the rain come smashing down I am reminded what an absolutely essential jacket this will be… ‘grim up nurth’ n all that.
We have that really annoying rain that soaks you through as well

[Ross]

Model Sam B wears a Large

AJ wears a Small
Ben and Bailey wear a Medium
Graham wears a Large
Ross wears a XXXL

You can view the crew's vitals here

[Ross]

@long_john86 ^ Looks like this is a 'same as normal' or size down for most of the crew. Hope that's helpful!

[Boit]

@Ross How thick is this shell? Does it compare to 2 or 3L Gore? or is it more substantial like the IHJ-80? RN I’m thinking of grabbing this in Medium (one size down from my usual ‘large’ IH jacket). Is there a lot of variance these dimensions? Any idea what size Johnny would take? Thanks for the help.
