Dekers Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 I need your help please. I need a new set for the winter (NOT NECESSARILY Winter Pattern).... Requirements Jacket (possibly with hood but not essential) and Trousers 1 Flexible and quiet 2 Warm(ish) and windproof(ish), but NOT necessarily waterproof (I have separate stuff for that) 3 Buttons, zips, etc covered, or SOFT FEEL 4 Suitable for all year use 5 NOT heavy 6 Sensibly priced If I can meet all the conditions I will be amazed, but as close as you can get will be fine....... I spent ages at the Game Fair looking at the stuff and couldn't make up my mind, probably spoiled for choice, your experiences and input appreciated, please also tell me if you bought something and it was rubbish! Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzy Fudd Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 (edited) i just use an old soldier 95 jacket, does all of the above for me (except the buttons on the pockets being covered), usually warm enough with a t-shirt but sometimes i stick a jumper underneath it if its very cold, even used it in latvia in -15 degree temps! :good: Edited August 8, 2010 by Ozzy Fudd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannon Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 Some of the older army issue stuff performs quite well in minus temperatures. I've always liked the M65 field jackets. Top quality garments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted August 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 (edited) Cheers guys I'm quite well stocked with surplus DPM and wanted a little upgrade!! It seems I'm getting to be a bit of a tart and have just had some brilliant work done on my wooden WMR stock, I don't want to scratch it and I need some new clothes, so it seemed an appropriate time to invest in some decent new gear!

jimmyb79 Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 I've had a Deerhunter Ram 3 in 1 camo jacket for a few months now. Comes with inner fleece and 'deer-tex' liner - all of which are removable for all year round use. I got caught in a thorn bush a while back and thought it would be the end of the coat, but it survived without a mark on it despite me actually having to take it off to free myself from the thorns! I paid £100 on ebay for a brand new one - listed features are: 100% Waterproof, breathable and windproof -Deer-Tex® membrane -Strong 2-way zipper -Cord draw in collar/waist/bottom -Extra shoulder width -Adjustable cuffs -Cuffs with neoprene -Frost-proof silicone buttons -Extra long back -Underarm ventilation -2 chest pockets -2 front pockets with inlet and cartridge pockets -2 Napoleon pockets -1 game pocket ATB JB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
