ky322 Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Hi, I have decided to treat myself to a new jacket. The harkila pro hunter X has taken my fancy, a couple of mates I shoot with have them and seem to be ideal for what I want. The best price I can see is John Norris at £400, anybody seen it about cheaper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medic1281 Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 John Norris are good on price and also very good service. I've found that they also price match if you ask nicely! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rimfire4969 Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Fantastic piece of kit. I have had my pro hunter jacket about 5 or 6 years it's warm and waterproof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WGD Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Norris are as good a Harkila stockist as you'll get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter 243 Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Best jacket I have ever had 10 out of 10 well worth the money . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ky322 Posted January 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Thanks for the replies, would prefer to try it on first but stay in Campbeltown and there are no local stockists. Will go and get one ordered, could have done with it over the festivities with the weather we had!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WGD Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Best jacket I've ever had, had mine 5 years now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oddman Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Had one 2 years. I have had some serious kit for mountaineering and ski touring and harkila holds up well in comparison with the best. I'd ski and climb in the pro hunter x but wouldn't shoot in my mountaineering gear! Very good jacket has kept me dry through this terrible weather. Only closure at sleeves is velcro so water ingress when arms are hold ing gun in 'ready' position Sizing quite big in the chest for its length. But is generally well cut with good freedom of movement for arms No thermal padding just a lining but I find it very warm. Hood fits over hats and ear defenders. Well designed - moves with head when shooting Cartridge pockets sag a bit. Quite heavy when dry and once the surface finish has 'gone' it wets up and weighs quite a bit Colours are very dark Look all you like, I'll be surprised if you find it under £400. I call it money well spent - don't expect to replace it any time soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cawdor118 Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 If you go to bushwear.co.uk and use the voucher code "Save10" at the checkout you will get it cheaper than that. They are also fantastic at shopping things quick. Excellent customer service too - ps I'm no way involved with the company at all. Just a loyal customer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a303 Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 I've had one 1.5 years and it's been excellent. Speak to Marsh county supplies, or could be marsh farming supplies. Paid significantly less than £400 for mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter 243 Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 I've had my harkila at least 6 years . The trousers are very good . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
