luvbus Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 I have got the Jarrett jacket and have been using it on the Humber this December OK. It is on the light side but was impervious to wind and rain. I just layered up underneath it with t-shirt, long sleeved tee and fleece to add the warmth. I have found it quite an unusual jacket as the temperature stays neutral ,you feel you should be cold in it but never are but at the same time you don't feel as if it warms you either! I was torn between the Jarrett and the Eider but in the end was not sure about the pocket positions on the Eider and if I would find it too warm.

luvbus Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 Hi Rich,thanks for the info,much appreciated.Merry Xmas and happy fowling Cheers Wayne Not much chance of a merry Xmas as i'm stuck on a rig off Denmark till Jan 4th. Just got the New Year wildfowling to look forward too! Best bit about the Rivers West gear is you are actively encouraged to throw them in the washer and tumble dry em to keep them waterproof, lot less maintenance than any other kit I have used! All the best, Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sodylt1 Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 I have been using the Eider jacket for the last 2 seasons and I have to say it's superb, the only complaint if you can call it that (?) is it's too warm (now there's a novelty for fowling) So it sound like the Jarret should be perfect for the jolly old UK weather?!

bullet boy Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 My advice would be to look at the Deerhunter RAM jacket or Deerhunter Montana jacket! ATB! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
