Do there products do the job adequately or should you put your money into better? If so what brands?

The stuff is fine, other cheaper brands to look at are Seeland, Percussion, Game and a little bit more expensive Deerhunter

when I’m out on shoot days and want to look like a posh knob, I wear Musto, Barbour, Schoffle, Chameau and the likes, but my Musto shooting jacket was about 300 quid and is no more waterproof or warmer than my 60 quid Game smock I wear when I’m out fox shooting in winter

Jack Pyke is awful cheap rubbish , I tend to buy deerhunter stuff these days as suits me , good gear and not as expensive as Harkila etc...... 

[Stavross 15,278]

For what you pay for jack pike I think it’s ok, the shirts, jumpers etc are all good enough, I would say that the wellies and the boots are absolute sh*t but there’s very few shooting clothing companies that make good footwear, if you pay a few quid more you won’t go wrong with deerhunter or seeland. Harkila make some really nice gear but it’s top end price wise and if I was spending that kind of money I would buy schoffel or Musto ( personal choice you understand, I’ve got nothing against Harkila ) two expensive ones to stay away from are shooterking and swazi and another good mid range one to look at is Stoney Creek

Like been said the boots are rubbish but for cheap knock about hunting ,ferreting clothing it's not that bad 

I got jack pyke bottoms that's lasted 3 seasons of lamping ,ferreting and general mooching about and still OK 

Ridgeline also not that expensive

A mate of mine paid about 400 quid for a smock and it leaked around the hood and trying to get it changed was a right carry on, he’s got a ridgeline one that’s half the price and had no bother with it

I  rewaxed me old wax jacket and sat in hedge last night lashing rain and was dry as a bone

Feck, got a couple bits of their non waterproof clobber, it's very well made, but if you order direct from NZ you get bent over on the tax

The smock was really nice and looked really well made, it was more the after sales, where he got it from wanted to send it back rather than just give him another one, I think in the end they he lost his sh*t with them and they gave him his money back

I would not buy Jack Pike again bought jacket and trousers while back. Trousers lasted one season ferreting and the jacket supposed to be 100% water proof and it never has been. Shower proof I would call it.

Now any body tell if this Hogg's jacket is any good, just want a 100% water proof jacket for mooching and mushrooming etc.

Was looking at this seem very reasonable price.
