Green Mountain Jackets -preferably in eVent?

[Chitterne]

I'm trying to find a decent green mountain jacket (something along these lines: http://www.rathbonesofkeswick.co.uk/...nt-jacket/206/ ) but nothing seems to exist in colours other than red blue or black.

Preferred material would be eVent (Neither paramo nor ventile meet my requirements; eVent outperforms goretex xcr); is anyone aware of anyone making such a jacket?



Many thanks!

Can't really help, but the link you posted gives a "page not found"-message, I think you refer to this jacket?
Maybe you can find a jacket like that in a brand's hunting range? Always green or brown...

Cheers,
Lasse

Lasse, thanks, that's the link I meant to post. Hunting brands are a little limited over here; none offer genuine mountaineering jackets -my last one (a Seeland) was close but leaks like a sieve.

I'm after something dual purpose; mountainwalking (primarily) and Highland stalking.

Just googled around a bit and maybe this jacket, Men's Cervin Jacket, from Vaude is an option? It's green with event
This Infinity Jacket II from the same brand, but in lighter green might be interesting as well if you don't mind the odd green...

One of the big chains (Blacks, I think) used to do an own brand of event jacket. It had a hexagon chicken-fence like logo. Saw one in Aviemore a year ago, and it was an olivey green.

The only other thing I can think of is the Keela Munro, but it is not event, and its a bit heavy and warm in summer.

Well i've orderd yet another drizabone wax coat,www.hartings.co.nz, this time, they seem to have a number of possibly end of line coats/jkts so sizes are limited, but the prices are good.

I have a XL craghopper event coat in green/light brown thats not being used. It has been worn for about 4 weeks but still good......... if you can accept pre-owned/ second hand kit?

Have a look at the RAB Bergan jacket in earth colour (greeny brown), when my current Mountain Equipment jacket fails its the one I will look at first.

All,

Many thanks for the ideas; I'm wearing out my computer trying all the search combinations to follow them up!

reddave,
Grateful for a PM with more info on your eVent jacket -although at 6ft and 42" chest, an XL may be too big for me -which craghopper 'model' is it?

 

[reddave]

oops sorry mate, its an xxl. as i'm a 46" when active, currently snug on chest and can't get past the gut. so will be breezy on you unless you used the drawcords

oooh... you could be right... not seen those before.. (though it's been a while since I went into a Blacks shop..) had to zoom into one of the pics to see the logo
