Scotch_egg Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 I have been the proud owner of a jakt jakt (or however you spell it) jacket and trousers for a couple of years now, and let me tell you it took alot for me to leave my trusted barbour. Now the jakt stuff is great value but it leaked on my recent trip to the hebrides and I want something better. Now I can see the benefits of leaving waxed cotten (even barbour are leaving it behind) please can people tell me what they use and if you would recommend it. At the minute I have my eye on something from the nomad line. However I am open to any suggestions. regards Dave (just about to go on a night shift so will have a read over breakfast, The people of Derby can sleep easy tonight....)

Guest martin Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 I've had a Nomad Smock Jacket for about 8yrs,and,I get absolutely no water through it at all.Can't get a better advert than that....................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnythefox Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 I have to agree with martin, I have both swazi and nomad and both are excellent but the nod has to go to nomad as it is a little quieter to wear but i must emphasize that both top notch for being waterproof JTF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moses Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 Another vote for Nomad and Swazi! I have the Swazi Thar anorak and a 3/4 length swazi fleece that goes underneath, its really warm, windproof and 100% waterproof as its 3 layer goretex and taped seams. I will say that it could benefit from being a little quieter but, it's not caused me any problems. Where it does score points over the Nomad is the anorak itself without the fleece is light enough to be used on a warm day too. A good pal of mine has the Nomad smock and loves it, it is very quiet and totally waterproof. ATB Moses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
