Good all round shooting coat

[Beretta V]

Hi all I know that this has probably been killed but my coat zip went while out on a very windy and wet wash! Not an ideal situation when you don’t take a spare!
So I’m looking for a good all round shooting coat that’s warm and dry.
I’m after honest reply’s from people that actually put them to use rather than a dog walker etc on google.
So what do you guys use? Don’t really want to spend over £250

Musto, they only that haven’t let me down. Pinewood also good but heavy

I've used Deerhunter for over 20 years, always served me well.

I was told deerhunter mallard is good but I’m not sure if it’s discontinued as all sold out

Deerhunter Chasse is a good water/ wind proof jacket and not too thick. You can breath when walking about in it. Also priced right too

+1 on deerhunter stuff.

Hogs of Fife - Jackets - Got a shooting jacket about 2 years ago and has been happy with the outcome. I do layer up as required and has been happy so far ranging from high seat, walking in the rain and out in the wind. Just worth having a look if you wanted something to compare.

I am also a fan of the deerhunter stuff, I have other makes, but keep coming back to deerhunter.
However, rather than a warm coat, I subscribe to the good old layering system and keep the coat light.
I wear a puffer jacket Under the coat for warmth and the outer layer is very much for waterproof and wind proof.
I find it much more efficient that way. Speaking a someone who feels the cold,

When you say “shooting coat” are you talking driven shooting, rough shooting, wildfowling, deer stalking or something else?

For driven shooting on really wet days I still go with Musto, either their Highland or the Technical Tweed. But that’s for standing on a peg. For rough shooting I generally want something lighter, preferably with armpit zips, or the Nomad.

 

[Beretta V]

It’s rough shooting, wildfowling and stalking

what I don’t go passed?? What does that mean?

#1 for musto. Phillip Morris usually have offers.

What ever it means, Shooterking are now defunct, so not much point in recommending them.

That he doesn’t go past the ShooterKing coat to get to anything else.

Sorry for the error in my grammar, I didn’t realise it was an English lesson.

Replace the zip for maybe a tenner.

I was out on my Game shoot yesterday and the only one dry at the end of the day with a Deerhunter Gamekeeper Pro jacket on. I never understand how guns spend 1000's on a vehicle and only a few quid on a coat !!. When you work outside every day you soon learn although skin is waterproof your clothes are not !!

Where did you hear that? Website and socials still seem very much active.

Here’s what I use, it’s UK made clothing that’s highly durable and extremely practical . I’d recommend the Avenger coat. They have a more domestic/ ‘fashion’ brand which is called Fortis, but it’s more expensive .
