Country Joe 1,411 Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 go on to ebay, look for a second hand wax jacket, ive been using the same wax jacket for years, ideal for crawling under briers. 1 Quote Link to post

Country Joe 1,411 Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Donkey jackets are okay, but useless on thorns, my old wax jacket, the zip, has started to go, went on to ebay today bought a used wax jacket good condition £17 postage paid. Quote Link to post
Blackdog92 2,047 Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Ridgeline are pretty tough. I got mine at the start of lambing time this year and it faired pretty well kept me warm and dry and they are long so you can still keep your knees dry when your kneeling witch is a plus for lambing a ewe outside in the wet or putting down purse nets. Amd they have plenty pockets for stuff also the breast pockets are fleece/faux fur lined so there nice to put your hands in when there cold. Quote Link to post

BIGLURKS 874 Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 The trouble with any jackets is the really good waterproof ones will make you sweat your tits off even the ridgline ones will make you sweat even though there good jackets wind proof and water proof if you mind and keep the zips closed don't get me wrong couple things I've found handy that gets overlooked is moleskin jackets granted there not the most waterproof but they are breathable and showerproof and there warm and they don't make any rustling noise when walking plus they can take a bit of abuse just keep a ridgline jacket in the bottom of the bag or some proper waterproof jacket for when the heavens open up Quote Link to post

I keep looking at it and wondering if its worth a punt.. I tried the Deerhunter and the Sealand gear over last few seasons and none of it is waterproof on a nights lamping or days ferreting . . Still keep coming back to the old Wax Jacket for ferreting the hedges/thorns etc etc. . I'm yet to find a truly waterproof breathable all round jacket/trousers. Also like the Kammo gear but that's a bit expensive.. But made to last. http://www.kammo.co.uk/ Quote Link to post

I would want them for a bit of stalking as well. Quote Link to post
