CumbrianWildfowler Posted July 6, 2024 Report Share Posted July 6, 2024 Does anyone use Keela or Carinthia came for wild fowling? What do think? is there any models that are better than others ? I was looking at the Keela Belay smocks but the new Mk5 seemed to have taken away the bellow pockets. Those side pockets are lethal for dropping cartridges.

Mine have been used and abused and never been retreated but still don't let any water in.. Well worth the money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CumbrianWildfowler Posted August 17, 2024 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2024 Thanks Fandango, Im huddled over the washing machine now watching my new secondhand Keela Belay getting its Nikwax reproofing! I shoot two little private marshes around Ravenglass in south-west Cumbria. It's mostly wigeon and teal. I'd like to join other local clubs and hope to get accepted in time. Ive just come back to shooting after a few years hiatus catching wildfowl with falcons!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CumbrianWildfowler Posted August 17, 2024 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2024 I have a little bit on both sides. A small patch on the Mite, probably borders yours? What is EDWA? Egremont? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Keela is looking as good as new after it's Nikwax wash. Now to drip dry and test. Not looking bad for £70. Facebook Marketplace has plenty of them.
