chrisjpainter Posted February 17 Report Share Posted February 17 I must confess I've never really looked at their stuff. I'm not sure I've even heard of it before. Does anyone use it, or know anyone who does? Good opinions and bad appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipdog Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 They have a sister company called Vagor. They market it as the best quality, then knock it down in price as looks like its an absolute bargain. Of the stuff iv bought, some lines are excellent quality for the money, other lines very disappointing. It is all made in china and i get the feeling they make use of a lot end of the line runs from other manufactures. Its just luck of the draw really.

oowee Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 I have some of there stuff. It's brilliant. It's one of very few clothing companies that tells you what the kit is made of. Look up YouTube video of coats pulled through a hedge backwards by pick up. No other cloathing company dare do that. Unlike Harkilla (also made in China) which just brags rather than demonstrates. Look hard enough and you will get the best Harkilla jackets for under £100 unbranded. That said I would try and avoid buying from China where I have a choice.

No sorry I had not heard that name b4 today. Mine is shooter king. It has everything. Inner cuff sleeves, magnetic pocket clips, secure car key clip, vented pits, sealed pocket zips.

Stuarta Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 I have one of their jackets and would buy the same again. I bought it at Ian Coley's open day off the reduced sale rail for £50 and it is smart, hard wearing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charliedog Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 I have the shooterking venatu jacket and trousers, both excellent and good value at sale prices, only negative a bit warm but great in the winter. Only shooterking gear that I have been disappointed with were their early fleeces, pretty thin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny English Posted February 24 Report Share Posted February 24 I've looked at the shooter King vests before but always been a little confused by the sizing system. I'm a joe average 5 ' 11" tall 34" waist 40" chest and the size guide suggests a size small in the chest to a medium in the waist. Has anybody got any real world experience of the fit and sizes?

Best advice is don’t buy clothing on mail order. Especially shoos/boots. Always try stuff on before you buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a skeet vest and clay jacket, normally a large (40/42) and both labelled large and fit fine, both great quality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiny tim Posted March 4 Report Share Posted March 4 I have the venatu. Happy with it. Beating and shooting for two seasons. It’s waterproof and tough. I would buy another Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
