Alright caswcc.

I've been looking at that jacket too. How waterproof/breathable is it?

Enough pockets?

Cheers.

 

[Rychard]

i have the same smock nice to wear but no were to put your hand only 2 chest pockets

 

[caswcc]

i agree love the jacket but really miss the hand pockets... very waterproof and breathable.. well worth the price...

 

[Father Jake]

nice one. I think I'm going to order mine right now. an early christmas present.

Does anybody know if this is the only colour? I've seen one from riflesports that looks more green.

 

[Paullyfuzz]

and the shop is called ?

 

[Father Jake]

Rifle sports.

 

[Paullyfuzz]

cheers fella

 

[Father Jake]

no problem. you see what i mean? They reckon theirs is a light green colour but i've spoken to others who stock it and they're positive it's only available in Teak.

I had one in my hands but was put off by the hood which didn't seem to have good anchor points on the front of the jacket. I was worried it would just flap around at the back. How have you found it ?

What's the sizing like on these - generous?

Cheers

 

[Father Jake]

I'll let you know in a few days.

 

[Father Jake]

Yeah. It's quite generous. I got mine from scottcountry. incredibley helpful. Give them a ring and tell them your chest size and they'll tell you what to go for.

 

[familne]

Ok, thanks - what chest size are you and what did you go for?

 

[Father Jake]

If i take a deep breath and when the tape around my chest is at 100cm, it starts to get a little tight so i went for the medium. I was a little confused at the ridgeline size guide as it said 100cm is a medium so i thought i'd need a large, but i was later told that it would fit a chest size of 100cm. So i went for a medium and there's still plenty of room for a jumper or something underneath it. They're primarily designed for shooting i think, hence the big breast procket so they're supposed to be roomy for lying down and stuff like that.
