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.)

The sleeves are a tad long. They have the neoprene wrist guards for use in snow and those where quite long as well. The body is sleek and form fitting with longer sleeves but they do not have any extra bulk or look out of place in anyway. It is a great light weight but warm jacket.

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 also ordered it on Amazon. It is a wonderful jacket! Warm even in wind. I wear layers underneath as well. A friend ordered hers from an authorized retailer and mine is identical!

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....

I would really like to know this too... They have insulated and then better insulated - what is the difference?!

The jacket is lined with a thin reflective material to give it warmth. It is fitted. I wear a medium and it is a snug fit. No room for extra clothing underneath.

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 degrees From what I can see, it is somewhat your preference, though I personally like the Infinite. Hope that helps!

Both versions have a jersey cotton inner layer and the same amount of polyfil. The only difference is the outer layer - cotton in one and microfleece in the other. If you are looking to maximize breathability, the cotton would probably be your better option.

This is difficult to answer. No and Yes. The jacket is a shell so no - there are no cuffs inside that are different from the jacket itself. Yes the shell forms a fairly tight fit around my wrist and the entire jacket is made of neoprene. There is also reinforcement around where the sleeve would cover the wrist. Hope that helps. If I can find a way to post a photo - I will.

It's a little bit insulated, a lot more than the other models. It's a little like a jacket, but not down.

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!

Pretty close.The jacket needs to fit close so the heat is close to the body. I am 5' 9" and 160 lbs. I ordered a large for myself since my shoulders are broad and I don't like a tight fit in a coat. It fit great, plenty of room and this thing WORKS! Out on a job the other day in Charlotte and it was 8 degrees for the high and my body never got cold. I'm impressed.

I currently have both (Aggressor in Tundra and the 3-in-1 in Black) and am deciding which to keep. By all observations these two jackets are identical in size, build quality, stitching, insulation, waterproofness, etc.So much so, that it appears the only real differences are: 1. the available colors. Aggressor has Tundra or Tan. 3-in-1 has Black, Navy or Red. 2. the microphone molle at each shoulder on the 3-in-one jacket. There doesn't appear to be any justification for the 3-in-1's higher price. Guess you need to pay it if you want black. Would be nice if the outer shells and the fleece jackets were sold individually so you could mix and match the colors.

Ah, I honestly don't know! I live in Las Vegas so I unfortunately don't get to wear enough. I bought it for my trip to Ireland which I took in march and it withstood the weather fantastically! At first I would wear xtra layers underneath but quickly found out it wasn't necessary! It would get hot quick! But it's a fantastic fantastic jacket that I wish I could wear more often! Hope this helps!

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.

The inside lining is fleece but the outside is neoprene. The outside is like the athletic jackets that are made to keep wind and rain out without being bulky. It's like a heavy nylon material you would see on North Face and Nike jackets. It's thick and durable. I wouldn't wear it in cold weather without adding layers. Hope this helps.
