domp_rex Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 Looking at buying a deerhunter jacket, specifically the Highland, mostly for ducks, pheasant shoots, and roost shooting. Personally I'm not really familiar with this brand at all, so I was wondering if anyone's had any experience of them - quality, functionality etc. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rewulf Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 Quality wise, Deerhunter are excellent. Love my Montana, which is half the price of the Highland. I bought it 2nd hand off here , and would happily pay full price for another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Best Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 Yeah, good quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samboy Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 I've had the Montana for a few years now with no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 I have had one now for about 6 yrs and only this last winter did I reproof it. I use it for my 'best' driven days so it hasn't had a huge about of use, probably worn it 120-130 times and one or two of those have been very wet days. Never let me down but noticed a bit of damp on the shoulders last September and purchased a can of re proofer and after putting it through the wash, gave it a good spray. Seems to be back to normal again. I would buy another but this one seems to be going on for ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had deerhunter for years with no probs at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougy Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 https://www.newforestclothing.co.uk/brands/country-clothing/deerhunter/deerhunter-muflon-jacket.html I bought this coat, my 3rd Deerhunter, the 1st was the original Ram that was bought for £100 as a jacket and trouser suit, the 2nd was a Ram camo which is still very fit for purpose but unsuited for shoot days when we pick up. None have failed me and ive been more than comfortable in weather down to -18 and feet of snow, if anything the new one is too warm in our so far mild winter's. The rain has not got through any of them through some very heavy torrential downpours. I have bought Deerhunter because i needed to be able to trust the garments are going to keep me warm and dry, specially if ive spent a load of money going away shooting.

B725 Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 I have several Deerhunter clothing and been very pleased with all of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudpatten Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 Excellent quality product and good value for money. Be aware that, with some of the more recently designed jackets the hood and its method of attachment have become increasingly bizarre and complex. A case, I suspect, of novelty for it`s own sake which, certainly for me, seriously impedes gun mount when wing shooting. One of the pairs of Deerhunter trousers I have has the two waist fastening studs positioned one above the other which means that every time I bend down they pop undone. This is really annoying and not the sort of poor design you`d expect from a firm that has produced functional clothing for decades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you see its original price of £259 ? Thats what I was basing my half price thing on, although the Montana is discontinued , its replaced by the virtually identical Smallville , at around £200. I might get one of those Highlands at that money , cheers ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
