Hubertus Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 I know some friends who have bought this stuff. They are really happy with that for that price. Very warm and comfortable. But its only made for the very cold days. Perfect for sitting a longer time in the high seat. Its not made for stalking around (to warm).

Axe Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 Henry, I've been thinking of getting the outfit advertised in the BASC mag, must be the same deal. As far as I read, it has removable lining whihc should make it more reasonable on not so cold days. I would very interested to hear how you go with it.

Sargeant Bang Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 This kit, I believe, is from Finland, so make sure it IS a cold day when you go out or you'll melt. They know a bit about hunting in sub-zero temperatures for an extended period of time. Probably just what I need for sitting in a high seat at 6.30am on a winter morning but I wouldn't want to wear it on the Scottish hills. Bear in mind also that Finland is virtually flat (at least I think this gear is from Finland anyway), so they don't do much hill walking either.

Hubertus Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 you are right. The stuff is from Finnland. Hubertus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 And they stay cooler as they are much fitter than the average beer swilling, smoking, junk food eating Brit's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNAKEBITE Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 And they stay cooler as they are much fitter than the average beer swilling, smoking, junk food eating Brit's But they are boring though aren't they? Not enough daylight hours I reckon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 I will let 'The Sargeant' comment on that one!, having sampled one of them recently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sargeant Bang Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 Ah Yes! StuartP is correct, I was "sampling" one until fairly recently. They are a mad bunch, they drink like fish too. I wouldn't say they are boring, they know how to enjoy themselves alright. All that outdoor life, sauna's etc, and pubs and clubs that don't close at 11. Problem the Fins have is their impenetrable language but luckily they all seem to speak English very well. I can also highly recommend their females! Randy and Rude are the adjectives that spring to mind. Must be all those months spent indoors during the winter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamish Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 I bought the kit advertised in the BASC magazine, and think its great value for money. Order online, and they add a free Headlamp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
