    Ventile "SAS" style jacket

    Interestingly, the single ventile jacket on eBay for £160 can be bought from the weatherwisewear website for £145. It looks like it may be less easy to pull on than a Hilltrek equivalent because it has no side zips, other than that it looks to be a good option at a decent price. Sent from my...

    anybody near Scarborough?

    I'm in York too, but like PigeonDave am unfamiliar with suitable venues, though do have transport and a very understanding wife! Absolutely up for a get together if anyone feel inclined to do a bit of organising? If I don't get out soon my kit will start growing mould! Paul

    Why does it seem Americans shoot bows with heavier draw weights?

    Novice archers are encouraged to start on low poundage bows to build muscle mass and muscle memory before moving up the poundages (which can be an expensive process with a recurve bow!). The finest recurve archery nation in the world (Korea) start their kids out without them being allowed to...

    Keela Munro vs Paramo Alta III jacket - your views?

    The Paramo fleeces (at least the Taiga that I use) are made of the pump liner from the waterproof. The advantage is you have a showerproof shell and a showerproof fleece that can be worn individually or combined as a waterproof. other fleeces are not made the same way to my knowledge. It's a...

    Keela Munro vs Paramo Alta III jacket - your views?

    Joycey, I tried posting a reply twice yesterday, but for some reason its not appearing yet. I have the 'Rover' double ventile coat by Country Innovation. It's superbly designed and made, tough, very waterproof but really only any good for low energy stuff and cool/cold weather. They list...

    Keela Munro vs Paramo Alta III jacket - your views?

    I have the Country Innovation Rover double ventile. Not cheap, but if you read the reviews, they're extremely waterproof in prolonged heavy rain, they last and last, have great pockets and hood, they're very soft coats, quiet and robust. Country Innovation list Bushcraft as one of the intended...

    Keela Munro vs Paramo Alta III jacket - your views?

    I have used the velez adventure lite for a few years. It's a good jacket, best for colder conditions or when you're not doing massively high energy output exercise because it is after all still a lined garment, though the hood isn't (the hood is more showerproof than fully waterproof). The side...
