ryaldinhio 4,502 Posted October 14 Report Share Posted October 14 Back to dark mornings and dark nights. I'm in the market for a new coat and new lamp. I don't go out for hours, odd shine here and there, so don't need big battery etc. Last time I had a real light weight LED one but I snapped the handle during an altercation with a fence! Any recommendations for both please lads, or indeed any to avoid. Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TOMO 26,052 Posted October 14 Report Share Posted October 14 As far as coats go you can pay some real money.....but I tell you what I've got a jacket from b&q....from the work wear ...its made by Site...only about 25 quid I think....its the most waterproof coat I've ever had...but its lightweight so you need a fleece underneath if its a cold night 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chartpolski 23,215 Posted October 14 Report Share Posted October 14 I’ve got a 240 Blitz and 12v 12ah batteries for longer nights on certain quarry, but if it’s just for an hour or two local on rabbits, this led lamp with a lithium battery in the handle does the job fine; Cheers. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tatsblisters 9,479 Posted October 15 Report Share Posted October 15 As coats go the ridgeline torrent 3 i have is okay with plenty of pockets and the front pockets are big enough for a small battery and has kept me dry in showers though persistent heavy rain water has eventually got through and it can become a bit on the heavy side.

I’ve the same led one , it was recommended to me by one of the dossers that visits the forum , is a good lamp , slipped and snapped mine where the handle meets the lamp but glued and taped it and it’s been ok as a torch …. Shame the bunnies all got mixy and disappeared… Quote Link to post Share on other sites
