station Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 Hi All, Just got a Jahti Jakt Classic Shooting Suit from my lovely wife as a Christmas present. I had seen the adverts for some time and then a friend said he had had a jacket some time ago and it was very good. Bit the bullet and ordered their Classic on Sunday by supplying height, chest size and ......ummm... weight ! The suit turned up and it looks and feels very good quality, and best of all the fit is superb (made my day by just being a Large) Along with the jacket and trousers I got a 'bonus package' of micro dry underwear (long johns and vest), fleece style gilet and a baseball cap - all for £199 delivered ! I won't get to wear it properly till between Christmas and New Year, so I was wondering if others have Jahti Jakt gear and if so how is it standing up to use ? I have always had Rivers West until now, but price and availabilty are both getting silly so hoping to get a long happy life from this, new to me brand. ATB. PS - how do you pronounce Jahti Jakt - phonetic spelling appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bicykillgaz Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 I pronounce it jartee jackt no idea if its right or not. Had mine 5 years nearly, heavy use for 2 years and lighter use since as ive got various other stuff I change between. Still waterproof, my kit had thermal base layer, fleece mid layer, fleece jacket, jacket, trousers, hat and hiviz vest for £160 at the time, price has gone up a bit since but still well worth the money especially if your a cost conscious shooter and can't afford top end kit like me.

gixer1 Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 I pronounce it - "Shooting jacket and trousers".... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catweazle Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 I've had mine for years. I was concerned that the material felt quite thin and at the time I was doing most shooting in woodland with many thorn bushes and brambles, but it took it all OK and is still intact, although the excellent camo has faded a bit. It doesn't shrug off the brambles as well as a waxed jacket, so you will get caught up occasionally. I did find that if I get it really muddy and just leave it to dry most of the mud falls off next time I wear it, maybe something to do with the waterproofing but quite welcome. All round I'm well pleased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigeonblasterian Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 I have had a Jahti Jakt suit with thermal gear for a couple of years.I use it when the weather is really cold and it keeps me nice and warm.If i could keep my hands and feet as warm it would be great.
