dorg Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 I am looking for a lightweight waterproof jacket for the mild wet early season partridge days also for use on the range. All the coats I have at the minute are of the heavy Musto keepers and highland variety just need something lighter and thinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cumbrian 1 Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 For a lightweight jacket for early partridge and pheasant days you can't beat a ventile jacket, I used one for years when I was a full time keeper in Ireland: http://www.oliverbrown.org.uk/ventile-field-coat.html?utm_source=google_shopping&gclid=CPXXts-q2scCFUI_Gwod7AkFvA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dorg Posted September 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 I looked at some paramo coats, they seamed very light duty and I wondered how they would stand up to a days beating, brambles and barbed wire so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
