tonker Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 Right then peoples. I like most of us I expect have a lot of shooting coats, some for a driven day, some for stalking and some for anything and everything. Can I have you collective views please on a new coat. Must be waterproof Guaranteed, breathable,and not stupidly hot. I'm going to be out in all weathers so need something that will work for many hours at a time. Many thanks for any replies. Steve.

pux Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 I've been looking at the Seeland Kraft jacket or one of Harlika options. I really need a jacket that can do most things instead one for each occasion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker570 Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 Sasta.... my wife has a full suit and has had it for 10 years and only recently has the jacket shown any tendency to absorb water. Light and comfortable to wear and made ...I believe...by the company responsible for all Finnish Military wear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Arktis suit is now nearly 30 years of age and still as waterproof as the day I got it. Overtrousers that zip right down to save sticking muddy boots through them, a jacket that will take several different liners (or none at all in hot weather) and a hood system that fully closed, only leaves the eyes exposed. I bought a new quilted liner from them 2 years ago and is a great cold weather jacket in it's own right. Really good clothing and a great Company to deal with. IF you want bomb proof tweed though, it has to be Nomad in Scotland. Ask most of the Scottish stalkers, they would not use anything else. Expensive, but good.

I recently tried a Laksen clay shooting jacket at a gun shop near to you. I found the sizings were really poor. All of my jackets are XL. That size in the Laksen was far too tight for a shooting coat, the XXL was better, but still rode up when I lifted my arms and the XXXL was just too large all round. I bought a Musto.

Scully Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 All my jackets are XL also; I like room to move. 🙂 I have a couple of Musto jackets also, but still recommend Laksen. 😀 My clay vest is Beretta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have found some real bargains ‘upstairs’ over the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
