Used one of these for the last 15 years or so for summer stalking, really rate it

Bought one of these for summer use and find myself using it pretty much all year round
Both are really well made and I would buy them both again.
Swazi Severn Top
Swazi Severn TopDesigned while hunting on a day when the wind was creating the most spectacular spin-drifts. Glassing for animals became almost unbearable. Very frustrating with so much animal sign everywhere. It’s light, compact and totally windproof – and has become a favourite with Hunting...

Anorak No. 8 M
Brilliant jacket. Got mine for an absolute steal on eBay Second Hand few years back. G1000 material is tough as nails. Wax it and layer up underneath for the winter months then give it a wash and wear over a T-shirt or light weight thermal or jumper in the summer months. Never let me down and the pocket kangaroo style pocket is great if you need to carry some kit but want to travel light.

These are good value…https://www.helikon-tex.com/en_eur/ku-wdn-dc-woodsman-anorak-jacket.html
I got one to use in the summer and found that i tend to use it most of the time as it’s very versatile as you can layer up according to the weather. It’s nice and light weight, very breathable, has under arm vents if you need to cool quickly without taking it off and will still protect you from the wind and light rain.

Helikon Pilgrim Anorak Jacket - Taiga Green
The Helikon Pilgrim Anorak is yet another superb addition to the Helikon and The Bushcraft Store range Helikon have designed
I’ve got one of those. Similar to the one Westley linked to I think; I really rate it and find it very versatile.

I still have one of these from the 80’s. Perfect summer/ autumn stalking rig. Gets wet…dries in no time, nice and thin so you don’t cook. And….the bellows chest pocket can hold your TI.

Always meant to give their stuff a try but as yet haven’t got round to it.
I use a Paramo hooded wind shirt(forget the model,think it begins with B!) washed in Nik Wax water proofer. Keeps dry in light to medium rain for shortish periods but after that you start getting damp!

If you want to go really lightweight then these are good on hot summer evenings:-

Not waterproof, but small enough to stuff into a trouser pocket back or hand warmer pocket and pull out when the temp drops a bit.

This is the one! Began with an F not a B!
Long discontinued now but show up semi frequently on a certain auction site. I have several, one work, stalking and one for nice! Don’t think I paid more than £25-26 for any of them.
The Windrunner shirt from Helikon looks very similar though and readily available, even thought about trying one meself!
