spiderlegs Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 im looking for a new shooting jacket or smock for hopefully no more than £120 but could spend more for the right one. what would people recommend? jack pyke stuff looks good and reasonably priced? im leaning more towards the camo rather than tweed type as tweed doesnt seem very practical, and most are alot more than £120? thanks alot for the help.

WelshTom Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 i have one of the green jack pyke hunter coats and its a great bit of kit - very warm, waterproof and has plenty of handy pockets. Also very good value for money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alycidon Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Have a look round the charity shops, you will be surprised what you can find. A few years ago I found a lovely tweed shooting coat, as good as my old Husky, waterproof, hardly used and fitted perfectly. Its previous owner had also taught it to shoot far better than me, oh the cost, at £8 I did not haggle !!., I would have expected to pay in excess of £300 in a shop. Regretably they did not have a set of breeks to match !!, I suspect they threw those away before getting them into the shop. A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrispti Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Deerhunter jacket Had mine a few years now, still as wind and waterproof as the day I got it http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=deerhunter%20smallville%202%20jacket&source=web&cd=7&ved=0CGQQgwgwBg&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.airgunspares.com%2Fstore%2Fproduct%2F2666%2FDeerhunter-Smallville-Jacket%2F&ei=qEj_Tq3GNYHqObmCnNUM&usg=AFQjCNGLIRo-p7QgB-HwnH3JslGyUd34Hw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beretta28g Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 (edited) I doubt ill never get another Jack Pyke jacket. I have had one and it lost its water-proofness after one year, and when i contacted JP they weren't exactly helpful Saying that as the waterproof membrane would still be intact, it would just need re-proofing. When i asked why it should need re-proofing if there was a waterproof membrane still intact i didn't get a response. Seeland have a very good write up at present though i have yet to try one. I can recommend all of the Deerhunter range, i have the Ram, and after 4 years of abuse its still as functional(water/wind proof) as when it left the factory.

mudpatten Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Another vote for anything in the Deerhunter range. There are some good bargains on flea bay especially at this time of year. I recently bought a Deerhunter Ram jacket for £95 which, when it arrived, was patently a second. After a brief email conversation the vendor refunded me £40 so a new jacket, admittedly with two small non functional zips only cost me £40!

Cosd Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Another for the Jack Pyke hunter jacket. Had it over three years now and still looks like new. The material is excellent, I've caught it on thorns and brambles many times an not a mark on the cloth. Very sound investment in my opinion.

luckytrigger Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 I use a Dutch army goretex jacket. Much superior to the British army issue goretex as its lined and has two big pockets at the front for ammo, rangefinder etc and a good sized map pocket that my permission letter/licence fits into. Also has a very good wired hood. Mick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IEH Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 If it doesn't have to be camo, some Scats branches are selling the Seeland Keeper coats for around £100 at the moment. Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
