Deerhunter Scotland poncho

I was having a look through the Bushwear site and came across this

Has anyone got one of these? It sort of looks like the colours my local woods are and the brackeny bits are showing.
Worth it?

Cheers,

Not tried it Toddy but I'd have a small wager on the pattern being "Advantage Timber". Its a well established "Realtree" type pattern and available in lots of materials (PU, microfibre, polycotton etc.).

For me I like one called Hardwoods HD extra green but it does depend on your area and season as to what works.

Looks a fair deal for the price but might be a bit noisy would be my view

Cheers Red,
I wondered about the noise, but the ad says that it's stretchable so that made me curious. "Extreme conditions", yep, that'll be here then
Tempting, but I'd like to know if anyone has already tried it.

100 % Polyvinyl Chloride = PVC

If you do get it i think it goes without saying... STAY AWAY FROM FIRES WITH IT! PVC=Big mess if it catches fire, lol.

I bought some PVC cagoule fabric recently, lavender coloured though , but it's been surfaced with a sort of sandwashed coating. It's really good stuff, it's silent in use and it's utterly waterproof.
I've gotten thoroughly soaked three times today (it's Ne'erday, I was visiting the relatives) if this fabric is the same stuff, I'm having it
It hasn't stopped chucking it down all day here, trust me, fire isn't my concern, though the point is well made.

Cheers,

Actually,

PVC is flame retardant. (Not that I've held a blowtorch over my HH stuff) When the garment comes into contact with flame, it releases flame-dampening gasses. As well, some Helly Hansen PVC gear is backed with Nomex in lieu of cotton to help with absorbing sweat.
