gonetoearth 5,144 Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 Riverswest i know nothing about Ridge-line. Smock. I have. All depends what you want the smock will keep you warm and dry. In extream conditions the down side is you sweat a lot in it but if you wear. A fleece this sorts it , Now some one mentioned nomad. Again great keep you warm and dry but instead of Deflecting the water it absorbs it they it goes down to the bottom and there fooking expensive , ridge line are exerlant Value and with the roar pant you have a full water wind proof suit Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Froudy 40 Posted February 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 Looking for something which will keep me dry, but not make me sweat, and also comfortable, and has a nice lining in it not plastic stuff, mainly for stalking and pigeon shooting Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jonesy 111 Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 Wor lass bought me a rivers west smock,what a heap of shite,makes you sweat any sort of walking about and it isnt even that waterproof. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gonetoearth 5,144 Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 Budget is up to £200. You will get a full suit ridge line for that go for the coat rather than the smock go on clothes. Section for dealers for them Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Neal 1,862 Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 Cioch Glamaig? They're made to measure which is a huge plus. I have the full length zip version but it comes in a smock too. I'd highly recommend them...handmade on Skye too! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sikastag_1 689 Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 I've got a rivers west smock mate i wore it once when we were stalking in the highlands and when I came off the hill I rung my shirt out it was that wet and I'm not unfit, for sitting about in a pigeon hide/ducks or ferreting etc its good even low ground stalking/beating or walking about lamping its ok but any decent amount of walking you will get soaked if not with sweat then condensation. Never had the ridge line but I heard the same about them. I've went back to te old see land beaters jacket and deerhunter ram jacket 90% of the time now if its not weather for a fleece. Depends how hard your stalking is I suppose if its just walking about and not hard going both should be fine but if its hard going I'd look elsewhere Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alimac 882 Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 get yourself a swaziI had a ray mears Swazi jacket, the only thing I'd rate higher on them , compared to the ridgeline monsoon2 is the cuffs, and for the £200+ price difference, il happily stick with the ridgeline.IMO you'll not sweat in it if your pigeon shooting or stalking. As has been said , ridgeline sizes are small. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
the scudd 82 Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 without a doubt the ridgeline is very waterproof but if I,m going out on a wet day that involves a lot of walking I always take the swazi, always found the ridgeline sweats me like wearing a binliner. didn,t know swazi was made in china, I have trousers and whapiti coat both made in nz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
