steve_b_wales Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 I have always worn my Deerhunter jacket and trousers when the weather is wet and cold. It has never let me down, not even in torrential rain. It does cost a lot more than £100, and I remember when I bought mine many years ago, and parted with my hard earned cash, that I thought 'was I wasting my money'. I was wrong. Another well made waterproof jacket/trousers is the Jaki Jakt brand. I also have a set of these, and they are excellent in wet weather.

955i Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 I work outside for a living and always use Jack Wolfskin. Never had a problem with any of their kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philm Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 I have a jack pike soft shell and no it isn't water proof! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norfolk dumpling Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 Bought a lightweight Musto a couple of yrs ago - absolutely brilliant. Used for shooting/beating and tough too which I wasn't expecting. John Norris has this for £145. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deputy dog Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 Ridge line are very good mate. I got a Roar jacket and it's the biz out in the wet, though they do a lot of other styles as well. Not cheap I must admit but well worth a look at.

foxy bingo Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 if your buying cheap gear chances are it wont be breathable so you will get wet through with sweat pay a good price and you will get good gear and stay warm and dry and it will last for years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennett Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 Jack pyke is, to be honest a bit poo. I had the hunter coat, not breathable and only water proof for a short time. Got a deerhunter tempest coat now, its breathable and has a long back, high neck and a good hood. In my experience, its better to spend a bit more and get something decent, than keep trying different cheepies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gundogs88 Posted November 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 Ok cheers for all your responses I will have a look at a few you've suggested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
browning123 Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 (edited) Keep clear of Jack Pyke clothing which has very poor breathable qualities! I wear a Seeland Keeper jacket and breeks which have never let me down, I was also shooting week last Saturday and it poured down all day. But I stayed nice and dry under the clothing.

statto Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 Take a look at the Sporting Gun Centre at Exeter (Do on line as well). I bought myself a set of Deehunter Montana waterproofs from their clearance outlet. Really good value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
