Laksen Moose Jacket

[Vulpes]

Has anyone ever had experience with these? Anyone know what type of goretex they are? Are they a silent brushed outer? Any good on the whole? Seems reasonable at £142.

Any info, anyone?

Hi,

no experience with the jacket. But I have a pair of Laksen Stirling trousers which are quite good. The outer shell material is very
silent and rustle free, which would make these good for hunting I guess. Mine don't have Goretex but a membrane called CTX.
I planned on getting a jacket from them before I went on to use non-membrane clothing as my outer shell.

Alas, looks like the Moose has been discontinued and sizes are only available for beefcakes & bloaters.

What's the CTX membrane like? I'm tempted towards buying some of their other gear, but I don't think I can break away from goretex. Nothing really vents the sweat so well when you're chasing things or being chased by things, but I don't think I can break away from Gore-tex. Performance is enough breathability for me though. I've looked at the deerhunter stuff too.

I found it to be quite ok. But this was on my legs only and in cold/wet conditions. The trousers have an inner lining that feels a little bit
silky against the skin and tends to act a bit cooling, so it did not feel too bad. I can't really compare it to Goretex, as I've only owned
Goretex jackets and upper body ventilation and sweating is a totally different story.
