paul1966 Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 after getting a soaking walking the dog this afternoon i have decided that my wax jacket is not up to torrential downpours, any recommendations for a half decent coat budget is around £60, its just to wear when walking the dog so nothing fancy.

Vince Green Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 I bought a yellow hi-viz long jacket off a market stall for £20. Didn't have much expectation, I just wanted something to keep in the van. Its been great its warm, dry etc. Its lined and has big pockets and a zip and button over flap down the front. Its lasted well despite taking a hammering. I have thought many times If they can make this to sell for £20 how come the virtually identical jackets (but in green) in the gunshop are over £100.
