figgy Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 After some advice and views off those who have them or tried them. I'm looking for a lightweight waterproof for early season wet weather on the marsh and for beating on rainy days,walking the dog etc. Can't make my mind up between the two, looking online there made from the same material just one with zips one without to my knowledge. The Mallard could be left open when rain stops but may start again typical British weather to help with sweating. Or is it better to get the Pintail and just remove and pack away and carry the pouch. The Mallard is cheaper and what's the best colour Olive or Teak? Figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenboy Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 I brought the pintail in teak which is a green / brown colour , not used it in anger yet but I went for a smock as it has one less place to leak. They are lightweight and pack into the chest pocket . Order a bigger size as they come small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted August 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 How much bigger as I always allow for a little wiggle room. 48" chest naked but get a 50" suit jacket for shoulder room. On outer wear normaly pick a size around 52-54" chest. Looking at their sizing it says 4xl for this would that be right or go bigger again. The trouble is both jackets looks good and I fancy a change from green but don't want something that is too brown to wear with a pair of green moleskin trousers.
