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.)

I did not purchase the black jacket but got the blue plaid one. The interior jacket appears to be black, but in really bright lighting or against other black colors, it appears to possibly be navy. Mine is NOT that really dark black. If there is a mall or outdoors store near you, I would suggest checking it out prior to purchase. However, I bought mine on Amazon because it was $60 less than retail.

I had to order one from a separate vendor. I am glad I did. I bought a Arctic Freezer 13. It keeps the processor much cooler I have never seen my heat go over 80 f. It runs better. And quiet. But buy what you want.

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

It was designed with model b version 1 in mind. However this design makes it universal to all pi models. It holds the board by the protruding connection jacks. I have a b v 2 and there is just a little play for the board to move. It is comprised of 6 sheets cut to shape, and just snap together without tools.all pieces are transparent (blue and clear) and have the protective sheets still on for shipping-so remember to peel both sides of all pieces for a nice simple case.there is enough room that mine runs only a couple degrees warmer than without a case, and it's best not to short circuits....quick shipping, enjoy....

Barbara, I wonder if you already own the K&H outdoor extreme weather pad this fleece cover fits over? The plug belongs to the heating unit which may not be clear from the picture. We purchased the fleece cover to replace the pad which came with the unit. We are pleased with both. Jean

I'm not sure. I have the Elite but I haven't seen the regular one to compare it to.

The inner sleeve of the zip out lining has a two inch knit/elastic cuff. It is a loose fit around my medium frame wrist. But generally keeps snow out. I wear a longer glove that covers my sleeve while boarding, so haven't really tested it well.

Yes, both the sleeves and hood are fleece lined, and that is what makes it so warm and such a snug fit. You won't need much in the way of layered clothing under this, and you may want to buy a size larger if you do plan on wearing a lot of layers with this over it. It is almost hot in this parka.

My experience with this product is that you get one shield 6 x 14 inches in size. The item on sale is one shield only and it is the lowest heat rated shield of the three indicated. It is made of aluminum as specified. It is foldable and the inside ceramic sheet can be folded too. The other shields indicated are made of other alloys, the stainless steel covered version and the Inconel alloy version. these are rated 1800 and 2200 degrees respectively. The product you get is the aluminum one rated at 900 degrees Farenheit exposure and 1100 degrees intermittent, for the sale price. I would guess that the other products are substantially more expensive. However for usual automotive use the aluminum one will likely be sufficient. I would make sure when installing to make sure you have some air space between the exhaust or hot component and have the shield mounted closer to the cooler accessory that one is trying to heat protect. I think you need to contact the supplier to get the higher rated products.

I don't think it matters, but my husband likes to keep the bubble side down. This cover is thinner than our last one, but it is much more flexible & every bit as effective. It is easier to roll or fold up & put to the side when you are swimming. It's at least a 5 degree warmth savings at minimum (which is Nice!)

You're welcome. I really love this jacket. Mine is solid black though, but I don't think that will make a difference.

The layer inside is a little bit thick and that keep you warm! But be careful: if you are doing exercises outdoor in low temperature and you are sweaty, And you let your body cold because you done, you will feel freeze! So You have To be active everytime! And when The exercise is done put some jacket on ! Well! That is The way i use it!

This is not the fleece lined version. It is the same on both sides, more like the CoolMax than a winter gaiter.

Unfortunately, I can't explain the difference. My husband requested this particular coat for Christmas. He has been extremely pleased with it.
