I would like a windproof tight fitting top for archery????

[Cromm]

Hi,
I am looking for a windproof top that has tight fitting sleeves as I always seem to catch the sleeve of my bow arm.
I have longjohns and a jacket that the sleeves unzip off, which keep me warm. It has just been my bow arm that has started to feel it in the last 3 shoots I was on...
Any help would be great.
Thanks for your time

I've got a black one of one of these I use most of the year when shooting outdoors. Quite a tight fitting sleeve and once you have a bracer on, it's well out the way. It's not windproof but with a LS merino base on I don't really notice it. I'm doomed if it ever dies as it's great, wear it canoeing, walking, skiing......

I had this problem at the end of last year and wondered why my sleeve was always catching, then I moved my feet to 45 degrees and it never happened again !
Seriously, the Haglofs range of softshells are pretty good (eg Reptile) and all Haglofs stuff has tight sleeves

Montane litespeed, cheap, windproof, pretty good in short spells of rain, tight. Sorted.

Go and have a look at your local Cycling shop - a windproof top with fairly snug sleeves should be easy to find.

Cheers

Gill jacket from their shorewear range - fleece lined with windproof outer. Bought it cheap at the boat show a few years back.

Full length bracer helps too

Some folks in my club pull tubigrip support bandage over their sleeves

Thanks for all the replys so far, I will look into all of them.
