panoma1 Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 I had a look on the duck dri website, doesn't give alot of info, none of them seem that suitable for fowling. Hard to tell from the pictures. Unfortunately the manufacturers ceased making advantage 'wetlands' camo cloth several years ago, so this Duck dri coat would no longer be available!........... That gives an indication of how long I've had it??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wymberley Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 Not everyone's cup of tea I know and only really posted as these suppliers are not the ones that we normally see mentioned. I have this: http://www.copshopuk.com/karrimor-sf-hurricane-4-tornado-fleece which I wear stand alone for spring/summer/autumn foxing at night, or under this when things turn nasty: http://www.pri-international.co.uk/stealth-jacket.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sportingrodandgun Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 (edited) I bought myself one of those Prologic carp fishing combos in a digital reed camo colour. Sallopettes and a jacket with a wired peaked hood. Quilted so it's toasty warm and completely waterproof. Like being in a tent in a heavy downpour. You can also buy them separately I think. £60 from ebay for the lot Edited February 7, 2016 by Sportingrodandgun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ratty1 Posted February 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 I have the prologic jacket and sallopets, the jacket was awful at keeping the rain out, leaked within a month. The sallopets were better, just started leaking last week after 4 seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 I must have over a half dozen that never worked for long that I now just use for other less demanding things than wildfowling. I now wear a waterproof from the local farm supplies depo Cost about £ 14 it's dull green I can hose the mud off it and it don't leak I wear it as a shell over base layers in the coldest vidule I might add a duck down waist coat under it with a big woolen sweater Done being conned out of £ 100 or greater each season only to end up with leaks. Difficult washing procedures. Broken or corroded zippers I think the most expensive coat I bought was about £ 300 that is equivalent of more than a dozen of these and they just don't ladt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xav Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 Got a decent camo jacket from Decatlhlon for £40, everything you ask for:warm, waterproof and cheap. Got fed up with overpriced leaking jacked with faulty zips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjimmer Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 It must be at least 10 years since I bought my Wearite jacket. Still OK! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
