Waterproof, windproof winter coat.

[Bunyip]

Hi All

Looking for a decent winter coat but tbh not sure where or who does decent stuff.

Had a look at the Harkila stuff but quite expensive,but willing to spend on a hard-wearing quality coat.

Not sure if I want a jacket or something longer so decent brands rather than specific coats so I can make a decision.

Cheers

Lee

I'm really impressed with the Ridgeline stuff. Seems very good value for money.

Everyday wear or in the woods wear ?

I swear by Regatta, it’s not stupidly expensive and does the job fine
My current main winter jacket is 3 years old now, cost £48, and is very warm and still 100% wind and waterproof .

Everyday wear I suppose Jim.

I would wear this everywhere during cold days, but the wife wouldn’t let me.

It’s like wearing a water resistant sleeping bag

+1 on the ridgeline stuff, I also own a couple of impressive Deerhunter jackets as well as some Army surplus stuff.
However I feel I’ve moved to another level of weather protection, comfort and practicality with my Paramo Halcon that I use for dog walking and obviously shooting. It’s in a different league

Seeland is also made by Harkila but unsure how good coats are but wellies are bob on, got a Harkila pro hunter x coat and it will last decades but pricey.

Got myself a decent coat out of decathlon (solognac) last year*, best winter coat I have ever had.

* In their sale.

I've just picked up a Barbour Bedale wax cotton coat from Cheshire Oaks
RRP was £229 I paid £152
It's ideal for every day wear or shooting, dog walking etc and I expect it to last years

I have Ridge line gear and Barbour and both are excellent, if you are wanting to shoot / roll about in the mud go ridge line

Parka, Duffel or oil skins depending on how long you intend to stay out.

Snugpak does a nice waterproof jacket called the torrent at about £150 but does come down in price from time to time.

I have a Deerhunter Alamti jacket, really warm as it is but I can also zip a fleece into it.
Look for last season stock as usually cheaper.

These are good if you like green - https://forcesuniformandkit.co.uk/c...of/products/austrian-army-m65-gore-tex-jacket

Occasionally in new condition on EvilBay.

Another vote for Regatta here. They're mostly good value for the money, and do exactly what they claim they do.

Barbour is still my hunting/outdoor coat. Lots of big pockets, waterproof and warm, 10+ years now.

 

[That hurts]

Ridgeline Monsoon Elite smock with plenty of warm base layers under or their Torrent Euro jacket

Sealand hunting jacket, warm, thumb cuffs, braces for skinning/gutting, pockets galore, oh and waterproof
