LONG RANGE CAPT Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 As the topic title suggests I'm after a new Jacket & Trouser combination. While out shooting the other week I spent a prolonged period lying up - my Parimo jacket leaked in heavily on my elbows and made the rest of the day some what annoying. I'm after something durable, comfortable and silent. Kind Regards Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LONG RANGE CAPT Posted February 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Rob, Which paramo? Selling it? (I've got a pajaro and want the upgraded version that's out now). Hi Matt, It's the 'Velez' - fine for walks in Snowdonia - just got back this evening having had a little cottage break in North Wales with my good lady.

Ronin Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Well for me its mix and match dependant on weather. Laksen trousers (Sika) - never let any water in for 4 yrs - used weekly in all weathers. Moderate weather (dry to light rain, warmish - above 5 / 6 degrees) Base layer t shirt , fleece, camoflague jacket - from Canada SEALS brand. (Matt knows which I mean) Cold weather or heavy rain Base layer, t shirt, light jumper, Laksen Sika jacket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have they changed the name of the Sika ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Looking at the current catalogue I think my Laksen Sika gear is closest to the Buffalo range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forbie Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 I have Laksen stuff as well can't fault it don't do much stalking tho but plenty of foxes lying up waiting for them. Quite a few get lamp shy where I am due to misses on surrounding ground. Shine a lamp and its like the start of the grand national.

tony Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Laksen gear is pretty good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tikka 260 Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Base Layer - Merino - very effective, doesn't stink like synthetics do after a couple of hours. Mid Layer - for cold weather, Buffalo Pertex shirt Outer Layer -Laksen Jacket Trousers - Deer Hunter Smallville for stalking, or if very cold for High Seat sitting - Rusky . Works for southern softies... P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandy Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 I have some Harkila gear and find it superb! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sako75 Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Hi I have found the Swazi Tar jacket unbeatable in extremely bad weather, not sure if they also do trousers, other than that the old favorite is the Kamo range of jackets and trousers, they have never let me down in some of the worst weather conditions going.

LONG RANGE CAPT Posted March 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Thank you all very much for help and advice - all very much appreciated. Having read through all the previous posts on UKV, I have now placed orders for two brands from the chaps at Scotcountry. the prices were competitive and customer service helpful. I will of course keep UKV abreast of how the garments perform. The first being the ''Ridgeline Monsoon Wet Weather Jacket'' - the reasoning for this being that it can be rolled up and placed in day sack when not needed and its alot cheaper than the Swazi version. And also great for the hill - possibly not for the high street. The second being the ''Harkila Prohunter Jacket and Trousers'' - having spoken to numerous friends and colleagues, as to what best you could get, would be. The resounding answer was ''Harkila Prohunter''. Having a career in which to much time is often spent on a wet wind and bleak training area - I thought it about time I got some decent hunting gear.
