Hob&Jill 258 Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 I spent £140 on a 'Laksen Yack' and I dont mind it, but it does absorb water if not regulaly sprayed with waterproofing stuff. The type of materials used are quite soft and catch on brambles easy too. .......and to be honest I much prefer my £40 waxed cotton jacket. 100% waterproof.... and Brambles and thorns just brush off it.

H&J ive tried loads of jackets, deerhunter, snowbee, berghaus, and the best i got was off a mate, very tough goretex a brand called rossilino, black and brown, one tough jacket, good pockets, underarm vents and silent. other than that, a dpm goretex got mine for 2.50 at a car boot, ebay do good uns oh and wax jackets. good luck in finding what you need rip Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jigsaw 11,809 Posted January 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 thanks guys,i bought a gortex today for 40 euros only because i was stuck for the morning,but im definitely going to study the one put up here.I have a big problem with wire tearing the jackets but i expect nothing has been invented yet thats wire proof.I'll be at the midlands this year so i'll have my homework done by then and know what it is i want,i hope Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rusty 0 Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 wax jacket probably as good as anything at about £40 you can get about 5 of these a season to the price of some of the others. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
