Location or post ?

Chose one yourself- try it , make sure it fits and you will have plenty of confidence. (once you've tried them all you will find you've settled on the Maxus though )

Have the 31/2 inch waterfowl and I cannot knock it - shoots clear pigeon all summer and heavy steel all winter - never misses a beat

What's the stock length ?

Second dibs please -can collect when you want

3XL Browning Dirty Bird, only selling as I have bought the next size down due to weight loss. 6'2 and 16 stone then this will be the best wild fowling / hunting coat you will get. I've tried them all from Cabellas to Deerhunter and this is the best on all fronts. I have added the official blurb below but essentially this is as waterproof and warm as they come with some top features, cuffs are great and you get no wicking of water up the arm, the mesh layer between the linings stops you sweating and the material is solid - Its on Ebay at £120 + post - PW members £110+post
Not open to offers as its worth me keeping for anything less
Condition- mint, its been through the wash and come up brand new. No rips , scuffs or tears- mintEXTREME WEATHER
For the hard core waterfowler who doesn't want to forgo a day at the marsh because of bone chilling temperatures and freezing rain, we have the perfect solution for you. Primaloft Insulation keeps you warm, is lightweight, and doesn't retain moisture. Combine this with a waterproof shell, and you have an amazing parka or jacket with your choice of bibs or field pants.
RAGLAN SLEEVE CONSTRUCTION
On outerwear the raglan sleeves are cut at a long tapering angle right up to the collar line. This means that the top of the sleeve is one seamless piece of fabric all along the shoulder with no exposed seams to leak, even in the worst downpours.ARROW GUSSETS
The Arrow Gusset armpit design has a smooth, tapering shape as it rises along the side to under the sleeve. It makes the garment fit better and gives you a much greater range of movement. That’s an important advantage when you’re facing a big flock of dirty birds crossing both ways in front of your decoy spread.PRIMALOFT® SYNERGY INSULATION
Browning’s PrimaLoft Synergy insulation is a combination of both fine and ultra fine fibers that raises the bar for continuous filament insulation. It’s soft, lightweight, quick-drying and provides excellent insulating properties, even when wet. Because it doesn’t require quilting to stay in place it won’t restrict your freedom of movement. You’ll find that hitting fast-flying crossing birds was never easier than when you’re wearing a Dirty Bird jacket.WATERPROOF, BREATHABLE PRE-VENT® FABRIC
On outerwear pieces, we use Pre-Vent, an exceptional 100% waterproof yet breathable fabric in the Dirty Bird shell. Pre-Vent easily shrugs off snow, sleet, rain, water, wind, mud and anything else that Mother Nature and your favorite marsh want to throw at you.ANGLE-ENTRY POCKETS
Angle-Entry pockets are designed around the human arm and hand. When your hands are above your elbows they naturally point up, and when they are below your elbows they point down. The interiors of the two zippered chest accessory Angle-Entry pockets and the shell pockets are slanted down to more naturally fit your hands, while the two handwarmer Angle-Entry pockets slant up. No more breaking your wrists to fish another shell or a call out of your parka pockets. -

yep, that's my blog. It's been around for a month or two but i'm adding / updating when I can. Plan on covering most subjects that are going to help others not waste time and money

Yes I have

I have quite a few jackets. An old Barbour which looks and smells great (am currently buying another) but is now very worn and a bit tight with a thick jumper underneath. A couple of Musto, neither of which are gore-tex but take some beating. A fine weather lightweight Deehunter and one my nephew has just brought back from NZ, but if by 'best' you mean waterproof and warm then it has to be a Laksen gore-tex I have. It has never let me down in any of the ****tiest weather a UK winter can throw at us, and it can only be worn in the coldest weather and even then with just a thin layer underneath as it is toasty warm.
If this is what you mean by 'best' then I believe you have to look to the Nordic/Scandinavian countries.
good call, that's where i'm "concentrating the search". I have a Harkila pro and that takes some beating- just not a marsh coat

Been done loads before. I use an ex army gorte, and layer up.

I'd be interested in your views on coats for next season, i've had a few ( you can read my reviews below) but I am yet to find the perfect Wildfowling coat. It's a bit "horses for courses" but there has to be a company out there that has the shooter in mind rather than the bank manager ?

Read my review on the Browning slip (if you don't want to read the review - it's absolute ****)

Interested in your views on the best coat, appreciate this is a bit subjective and that patterns are dependant on location and surroundings but I'm still searching for the perfect coat. Still use my Barbour waxed if i can but you can see from the below i'm on a mission !
Interested to know your thoughts / opinions

Use it to protect the barrels when on the foreshore. Doesn't shine when buffed which prevents glare and reflection. It makes the water "bead" and run off rather than sit there, works very well. Im even putting it on my new Maxus when out for extra protection. Good stuff, I apply when cleaning
