how does this jacket compare to a double weave?

Double weave too heavy for daily practice, this gi is comfortable and thick enough

I agree with Craig E. This gi is plenty thick and durable. It can get hot depending on your workout or the season.

Its ok for judo practice, but it is lighter weight, if i was still competing then I would go for the double weave, its made in Pakistan, I had ordered a size 4 and after washing in cold water it still shrunk to much in the sleeves for me, so I had to re order in size 5, size 5 pants to long, but the size 4 pants fit ok, and im 5'8" 200lbs.

In comparing the descriptions of the two versions of the jacket at Columbia's website, the differences I'm finding are: Whirlibird iii Construction: Zip-in and 3-point Interchange System Drawcord adjustable hem Adjustable cuff tabs Modern classic fit Fabric: Shell lining 100% nylon embossed taffeta Inner jacket exterior 100% polyester Microtex Lite II taffeta Inner jacket lining 100% polyester Thermal Reflective Microtex Omni-Heat inner jacket insulation 50% polyester/50% recycled polyester, 80g OH --------- Whirlibird ii Construction: Zip-in Interchange System Fabric: OMNI-TECH SHELL DETAILS 100% nylon SHELL LINING 100% nylon taffeta INNER JACKET EXTERIOR 100% polyester INNER JACKET LINING 100% polyester Thermal Reflective Other differences in the version III: Available colors Available color patterns Columbia only offers the newer version on their website So, there are some differences but not a lot. Hope this helps.

i think the only difference is the thickness (and price as you mentioned). I went cheap and bought the thinner version because no matter what i have to use two mats.

it's not thick. I would say more like a felt square doubled. But for being relatively thin, it provides a lot of softness and protection against the hard ground and rocks. I had my doubts when I first got it, but it really works.

They are cut differently. Think of the Lhotse cut like an upside down triangle (more fitted.) Whirlibird is a boxier fit. If you are a rounder gentleman I would suggest the whirllibird. (I worked for Columbia for a couple years, sold hundreds of both these coats and personally own a Lhotse.)

No they are not two-tone. You might be looking at the lycra with the weave in a different direction, that can make part of the shorts look dull compared to the other parts. In any event these shorts OK for short rides or spinning.

don't know the difference but very happy with the Blackout cloth- be sure hands are clean when handling -Have it on a 9x12 frame that's folds in half to bring in and out of building at a campground- No fold marks at all when open after a couple of weeks in storage.

I just got mine today. It looks & feels good. My only worry is that it won't be enough for a full sew in.

Thick and warm are not two words I would use to describe the Elite Barrier jacket. I've never use the Infinity, but I can't imagine it's any thinner or cooler (or at least not enough to make a difference.) For me, the Elite Barrier does two things: cuts wind (very well) and keeps you dry (kind of, depending on the amount of rain and how much you're sweating.)

The delux has the quilted outside and the plaid inside. The standard has a canvas-y outside and the sheepskin inside. So it's just preference. Both need a little extra help on padding inside. But I love mine! It's great.

It's not fleece--definitely a velour. It's quite thick and chunky. I actually get pushed too far forward using it on the bus so I rest my arms on it in my lap. It's firmer than one I bought in the drugstore. I like them both for different reasons.

spun is smooth outside, woven is like a continues string, pleat is paper with wire over sometimes, but not always. the 5005 is good all around for most use, carbon or black is for strong smell, woven for sediment sand or fine silt. hope it helps some gene

One fabric is shiny and feels a bit like parachute material; I believe it would encourage more sweating. The other material feels like a faux suede and much more comfortable to the touch in my opinion.

This actual print is unique in comparison to my other buffs I own. This one is more nylon or spandex smoother material. Sounds like you want a polar or a fleece lined buff. That said, I adore this buff for a casual chic look.

This is actually blizzard fleece, it sounds like you are are looking for microfleece. It is lightweight and has a nice drape to it and the outer textured is almost pebbled, as opposed to 'felted' llike blizzard fleece.

There is a bit of a lining. I don't find it sticky or uncomfortable at all, but I understand the concern. I think the lining (very light and only partial) makes the difference, but it all depends on how high your tolerance is for polyester rain jackets in general.

I bought a queen and use for a double. Washed first and found it to be great. Matelasse has always been relatively thin as it is a cover, but the fabric is dense. I am 100% happy with my purchase. Hope this helps.
