TJ91 Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 Does anyone own the above coat? I am after another jacket for wildfowling but not wanting to spend a lot..just want to know are they any good in torrential rain and how do they cope when caked in mud or laid on mud/wet marsh veg?

happy.plinker Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 Dont know about the wetlands but I have the hunter in olive green,quality is a bit suss,had the needle and thread on it twice and worn it a dozen times. Not too bad for £60 I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SniperCWF Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 Most Jack Pyke stuff is not the best quality I have found. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwmgun Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 I got the wetlands suit just before Xmas , I think it's a ok jacket for the price . I do a lot of picking up and have stood in some pritty heavy rain and it's been fine , only wore it the once for wildfowling but it with stood a couple of showers at holy island .

Redgum Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 No experience of the Wetlands but I also had the hunter in woodland camo, very dissapointed with the jacket, isnt waterproof in heavy down poors and sleeves get soaked with sweat, it's meant ta be breathable. Next time I will pay a bit more, as the saying goes 'you get what you pay for'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dwmgun Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Yes I've noticed the sleeves sweat too , but wot do you want for £69 haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ghost Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Got a Jack Pyke from Santa this year £65.00, very poor quality no inside pockets and not very warm on cold days. I have just got a Gortex DPM suit off EBay for £40.00 that includes the trousers & Jacket and am very pleased with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
