paul1966 Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 i have a jack pyke hunter jacket and recently after wearing it in the rain the arms feel damp inside, if you look at the inner lining you can see where the water has made the inner lining damp. is this a common problem? the label says its 100% waterproof and there are no rips or tears in the material, jacket is about a year old. think i'll email jack pyke and see waht they say.

AlistairB Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 A mate i shoot ducks with found his leaked through the seams on the right hand side - took it back to the chap he got it off, he swapped it no hassle and sent the duff one back - got a replacement from JP with no questions asked.

shot shot Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 The only thing that I've found to be totally waterproof is mil surp goretex. I've used them as waders when going through rivers before (up to thighs) and was bone dry coming out the other side bare in mind I had welly boots on my feet, and the over trousers stretched over the top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
