chady Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 Evening all hope you all had a good weekend! I'm going to try (and I mean try!) to sweat talk the other half to let me get a new jacket !! So I know it's not a lot but want to keep it to around a £100! Two I'm looking at are - Jack pyke hunters jacket £50-£60! Snowbee haldon breathable and matching trousers for£105. I don't want cammo as don't need it. All it will be used for is clay shooting and if I go out walking. If you have or ever used these jackets can you do a little review on them please?? Or any other sergestions please?? Thank you so much again Jamie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telf Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 (edited) had the jack pyke feild smock which i think is along the same lines,wouldnt have another if it was given,not breathable or waterproof,you get wetter inside because you are dripping with sweat i have now a sealand lingfield jacket and find it to be excellent Edited November 24, 2013 by telf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesj Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 If you can stretch you budget a bit (quite a bit another £60) the Seeland keeper is very good, had mine a couple of years and it gets a hard life but it hasn't let the rain in once and is light enough for an active day in the field.

SSS Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 Consider one of the ridgeline range as well. I've got the Mallard. Waterproof, breathable, lightweight and comfortable. Mine was £60 from the game fair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chady Posted November 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 I like the seeland keeper a lot! How do you think it will perform on the clays as it will be used for that manly And how many cartridges in each pocket do you think it will hold?? Like the look of the ridgeline highland as well has any one used one of these? How warm are they and waterproof? They say it is waterproof but considering its of a flease type material?? Thanks again Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blunderbust Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 Jack Pyke and plague sort of go well in the same sentence, avoid them if you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chady Posted November 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 Ok I think that's jack pyke out the window!! Enough bad reviews out there about them lol That's one down. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danoi99 Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 it's a shame you don't want camo, cuz there is a lovely Danish army Jacket being sold by mean & green for about 35 quid. Brand new unworn genuine issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drongo Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 You have a Decathalon near you...? Go look at their range... I've had a coat and trousers now for a year and hammered the life out of it and it still going strong and looking good...!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redgum Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 Ridgeline is cracking for that sort of money, think you probably have realised that Jack Pyke is pants. Made the mistake of buying one once, nice cut etc but you get wet when it rains and wet with sweat when it doesnt, absolute rubbish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have bought loads of good ex army kit from them. Ex dutch Army holdall was the best thing I have bought in years. I have just ordered the M65 regiment jacket, which has top reviews. It's 80 quid and should be the business. ATB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chady Posted November 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 Dose any one know of a decent shop that sells ridgeline and seeland jackets? So I can have a look at them?
