what do you all think about the jack pyke hunter jacket im after a water/rip proof jacket for beating these are about £55 are they worth ago

The mate had one builder. Lasted a month and then bought a ridgeline. Said it wasnt waterproof and made him sweat like crazy no matter the combination of layers.

Hope this helps mate.

If it's anything like the shoulder bag I was given for Christmas it would be absolute rubbish, I thought it was a cheap copy at first but it's the real thing.

all the people i,ve spoken to have said they leak

I have a jacket and trouser set. Very comfortable and still waterproof.
I wear the jacket every day when training my cockers up here in the colder northern climes.

My only issue is that it's a bugger to dry - soft fabric hold moisture.

i dont rate them. If you are willing to spend a few more quid seeland offer some good coats.

I had a Jack Pyke jacket for fishing and had real problems with the waterproofing. It leaked from day one. That said, my fishing partner had one and never had a problem with it, 2 years later still going strong. I had a look at the Seeland jackets but ended up with the Harkila, in my opinion the best jacket ever. However, for the money it needs to be!

i decided to get a paramo jacket had 1 before and it was totally water proof use the nikwax twice a year should have no problems

I'll second the vote for Paramo, I love mine but not for beating in the winter. They're anything but rip-proof.
