You have to distinguish between CHL V1 and its successor (is the successor still called CHL?).Hello,
You guys said that CHL is not so good for jackets and that 5star doesn't use it anymore.
So is CHL good or nor? Especially for the A2 type jackets.
Thanks.
The first version was completely unsuitable for a jacket. Maybe for shoes or bags, but nothing else. Even for the pockets of my vest it was unsuitable. A cardboard box is soft and smooth against it.
Different the successor, which I have as 2mm waterproof HH. The is thick, but rather soft. However, this also comes nowhere near the CXSH from Horween.
I would probably not have an A-2 made from it. With the Halfbelt I like it quite well. However, it has a gray core, which already comes through after light use. And it keeps "jumping" back to its original shape. It probably won't mold to the body. Let's see how it develops further.
