grahamch Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 I have a Ridgeline windproof jumper which is good but a bit on the heavy side. Am looking for a good windproof jumper with a zip neck that doesnt weigh to much, looked at Musto but they seem expensive. Any suggestions chaps?

seeker Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 Had a Musto for 10 yrs, had been excellent but it now seems to be shrinking (??) so also checking around for a replacement because they seem to have changed the design. Seems there's Laksen and Seeland on the shooting shops. Also found Pinewood and Nauticalia on Amazin. Most of the windproofs seem to be over the £100 mark.

Scully Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 Nomad UK jumpers and fleeces are not only windproof but waterproof also, but are eye wateringly expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 I have had a seeland one for years (at least ten) just like you want, not sure if they still do them but the only citic I can level them is they are super heavy when well wetted. Very warm and very windproof though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonker Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 (edited) Have a look at some of the wind and showerproof golf tops, I wear a Ping top (I was given It ) Does the job nicely. Lightweight too! Edited September 1, 2014 by tonker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cpaulc Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 Have a look in outdoors type shops, they often have good windproof fleece types. Go outdoors are a favourite of mine at the moment for cheap kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B725-chris Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 Buffalo mountain gear is hard to beat, in terms of warmth and wind blocking. I use a mountain shirt for carp fishing in the winter and 99% of the time it's worn next to skin without a base layer. When the temps start dropping further, a Snugpak jacket over the top sees me comfortable to well below freezing temps. A base layer will hold moisture, where as the pile used in the Buffalo is better at wicking away moisture. There are pit zips fitted, so this can regulate body temperature as well. It's not cheap, but it's very well made, does as it claims and will last a life time if looked after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theshootist Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 Seconded. I have used the Special 6 shirt for about 15 years now. The combination of fibre pile on the inside and pertex on the outside had not been bettered. I have not worn them out. The army finally decided to issue a copy of one (its more like the lighter teclite shirt) after soldiers had been buying their own for maybe 25 years. If you get wet just keep it on and your body heat will pump the water out. They dry quickly. I also use a copy made by Montane for skiing which has a heavier pile.
