That looks an interesting range.

Got myself a soft plastic coat with a sort of body warmer material liner a few weeks back. It will definitely make me sweat so I'll just have to make sure I don't do much work on the shoots ! It's three good features are that it is 100 per cent waterproof with no ifs, buts or maybe's about it, it is very lightweight and that , brand new, it cost just £28 !

I'm thinking of keeping it permanently in my car in case of emergencies.

Anyone tried the sherwood forest Kensington Jacket??
Found it for sale around £120 instead of £170. As long as it's waterproof and doesn't get ripped to bits going through the odd bramble £120 could be worth it.

I have a pair of Sherwood Forest w'proof trousers, they aren't the most elegant trousers around but do the job ok.

As above with the ridgline, tried one for stalking but it was like wearing a bin bag, not breathable atall. Now wear a deer hunter ram, not the best and not the worst but not so exspenaive you have to avoid every bramble in sight
