What's the difference between this PI Elite Barrier jacket and the PI Infinity jacket? Is this one supposed to be thicker and warmer?

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.)

Both sets have the same quality non-stick surface. The differences are listed below:- infinite is dishwasher safe; Elite is hand wash only- Infinite has stainless steel lids; Elite has glass lids- Infinite is oven safe to 500 degrees; Elite is oven safe to 400 degreesFrom what I can see, it is somewhat your preference, though I personally like the Infinite.Hope that helps!

The jacket is very flexible. I would still order the next size up. It will fit well but wont be restricting. I used mine for jet sking not fully submerged in the water. I dont like when something feels like it is choking you. Hope this helped.

Yes, I have both the neoprene sleeve and this one and the lining is the same. Very soft and protective. The color of the fur is white.

I'm not sure, I've only tried the weather master, not the weather master elite. But I have to say, we sure do love the weather master!

It has a thin silver metallic liner and is not "grabby" at all your arm glides thru. This was my son's go-to jacket this winter. He does not like to be hot and doesn't like big bulky jackets that suffocate his warmer average body temperature. He loves it!

they have a variety in Buff. I'd read the descriptions to see the difference in material (some are moisture wicking, some to hold heat in). Sorry I can't be of more help but I bought the two I did for winter use. Having said that, I love my Buff and bought one for my brother for Christmas!

Well depends on how big of a winter coat you're talking about. I have a Scent Blocker Alpha Pro Fleece jacket which is fairly thick. If roll it up nice and snug it fits and the butt pack-biggest one. I don't recall what the exact butt pack measurements are. But it's roomy.

I think the cheaper one is smooth fleece and the higher one is ribbed fleece. I have the ribbed. It's very plush and warm. Hardly need to turn on the heat. The heat is very subtle no hot spots.

I don't know, I returned the jacket right away because the connections were too loose and jacket would not stay warm, if you move at all!

I'm not sure I understand the question. I checked my inventory and I don't have this listed. I own one (it's around somewhere) and had it hooked to my small solar system, but it was getting slightly warm (barely, but detectable) and I went to another type of terminal block. I checked and I use 2 of these: Amico 2 Pcs 8 Position Double Row Screw Terminal Covered Barrier Strip 600V 25A...no more warmth.

Hey James. I have to be honest, I can't answer your question. Lol. I bought 2 of these, the "same" ones here on Amazon - one for me, and one for my husband. While both are very warm and work very well, oddly enough, one is thin underarmour type material and one is a thicker fleece. Same tag, same cut, same company, same Amazon listing - but completely different materials. It wasn't really an issue for us because my hubby has a big beard and wanted the thinner one and I took the fleece one but I just have to say I have no idea which one you will get....

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.

It's thicker/more visible and a lil bit longer. I personally like it better than the wispies. The wispies look more natural and this one looks slightly more dramatic yet still natural looking...

I am not familiar with the other one. This one is well constructed. Looks great. Rolls easily. I have it in my living room that has 2 6ft openings on each end. It heats this room well but takes a little time to get there. I use to maintain temp in the room. It is located below my thermostat. in a more closed in area it would really heat well. I plan to get another for basement when I finish off a room. the remote works well. This is my second heating season with it. blower is a touch loud but not bad. I turn up TV just a bit. But its not annoying in any way. I get lots of compliments on it. I recommend it I am not familiar with the other one. This one is well constructed. Looks great. Rolls easily.

It is mainly body heat that warms you up, but I have both this one and the mesh one, and the zip down panel does make a difference. I'd say which to get depends on where you live... it has to be pretty hot (like, over 85*, for me at least) before the mesh helps much... and the cotton is softer and generally more comfortable (though not by a large margin). So if its hot a lot where you live, go mesh. If heat isn't an all-the-time issue, go cotton

Hey Bradley, there is quite a difference in the size... I have found that the difference in the "melt time" is even bigger than the appearance. It takes a couple cycles for the large size to freeze to its max size, especially here in Florida unless I have the air conditioner very cold inside which I dont like.
