Canguro Posted September 16, 2019 Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 Hi folks, Wondering what everyone carries? I'm after something that's light enough to live in the bottom of the pack, but also something that I intend on using as a rain jacket normally, not just out hunting. Suggestions and advice welcome. (I had ordered a Hunters Element Downpour Elite, but due to stock issues have cancelled that order - figured I'd ask before choosing again!)

Gibbo 30.06 Posted September 16, 2019 Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 If you can find a Hunters Element All Rounder Jacket, they go pretty good but they are a discontinued item so you’ll have to look around and try find your size. It’s camo though and you said you want to wear it for other things other than hunting. Swazi Tahr Anorak is a solid colour jacket and definitely well proven but you’ll pay big $$$ for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onthemark Posted September 16, 2019 Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 Stoney creek glaisnock is what I run. My only tip would be make sure whatever you get finishes just above your knees somewhere, allows you to sit on it and also allows better run off without getting wet like a short jacket Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camoman Posted September 17, 2019 Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 I spent Sunday morning in my HE downpour elite for the first time. Four hours wandering around in consistent drizzly rain doing a cam run/reccy. I stayed dry, even on my back with pack pressed against. Happy with how it went. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddyT Posted September 17, 2019 Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 ive got the HE jacket and bib &brace and they are very very good- i fish offshore a lot and its almost as good as my offshore wet weather gear 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canguro Posted September 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 Good to hear - I guess I'll go back to plan A, and see about getting the HE jacket from another supplier. In the green rather than cammo it'll work well for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PointsSouth Posted October 19, 2019 Report Share Posted October 19, 2019 Check out the specs on the First Lite Seak jacket, it's not that much more expensive but is a massive jump in water resistance and especially breathability. Available in NZ in solid colours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
