dogmandont 9,802 Posted December 11, 2023 Report Share Posted December 11, 2023 Decathlon jacket and trousers, really like their gear, not the most waterproof I've had but hard wearing and warm which is more important to me as everything ends up shredded on wire or when a terrier decides to settle under a big dirty blackthorn hedge. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dodger 2,751 Posted December 11, 2023 Report Share Posted December 11, 2023 Haven't read the whole thread but at first glance 1200 for a jacket sounds mental but then what about what people spend on thermals etc Or even a year on pints in the pub or cigs 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wear mine twice a week through gorse wire bramble and no issue and for the money I’m not worried. Not the warmest when sat around but don’t get to many cold days down here lol. Tried percussion and kept ripping them by over stretching I have a pair of the thick moleskin type trousers from Game and a wax proof gilet I think it's quality gear for the money and does not cost a fortune. I don't see the point of spending shed loads of money on clobber in my case when all I do is mooch around the local woods with the catty . 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
