Pushkin Posted February 24, 2019 Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 Hi, that time again when i need to buy a new shooting jacket. Old on eis starting to let water in on really bad days. The windproof aspect still seems okay.. The jacket I have at present is a Norsveda From Fife Country wear.. Has been a great jacket over many years but now needs replacing. (it only cost £70:00 when bought :0) ). Have at it then folks. Recommendations in the bracket 0 to £150:00 ish. Mixed shooting from wildfowling through to pigeon crop busting, rabbits and small shoot syndicate for game birds. Regards Pushkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diver One Posted February 24, 2019 Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 I have a few lightweight.......Musto Fenland....packaway with good pockets warmer quilted........Musto Lexton Carbon.....only 2 cartridge pockets are A bit of a downside Big jacket.....Browning PRe Vent parka jacket....plenty of pockets and pocket flap straps ( holds pocket open for easy cartridge plucking) But I think I may eBay it as it's possible just a bit too big for me. XXL prob only been worn 5/10 times max peeing it down.....Game Drovers coat......online £24 delivered! bought at show last weekend....Percussion Marly....more pockets than 2 snooker tables AND flap straps. Annoying bullet /cartridge loops inside pocket which can be hung on outside BUT deploy when you take cartridges out of pocket, then you struggle getting hand back in until you twig what has happened. So I cut one off last night, having gone down route of folding away, tying up, holding back with massive paperclip etc ALL of the above are waterproof, windproof and breathable apart from the High Plains Drifter Long Wax Drovers coat. I may look a **** BUT I'm dry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudpatten Posted February 24, 2019 Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 Some of the sale priced Deerhunter stuff should fit the bill nicely, lots available online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spr1985 Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 I have a sealand coat can’t recall which one at present but very good coat I spent a day in the Cumbrian hills in appalling weather (none stop rain all day) and I remained dry! I’d definitely recommend them. I can’t vouch for it but I also came across this one by Deerhunter when I was looking. Seems a very good price on sale https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F112118765790 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discobob Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 I got the Musto Lexton Carbon at a very good price and must say I am really happy with it for shooting clays - I even wear it going to the office - there isn't too much contrast as on some jackets. Always check you have emptied the shells out of the pockets though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drayman1965 Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 I have a Seeland woodcock coat, brilliant kept my completely dry when I wore it all day in the rain shooting in January 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
