Thread: Cheap, lightweight waterproof jacket recommendation

For the Silicone + turps mix
I recently used White spirits as it is 100% Naphtha which is recommended in one of the Youtube videos over turps and is lowish odor.

I used it to waterproof my:
TwinNeedle MollyMe pack - This worked a treat at keeping my gear dry and blood free during alot of wet bush hunting this roar.
Bino Harness
Hunting Cap
15 year old StoneyCreek Sikatop which I had stopped using in the last 5 years. Just painted the hood, back, shoulder, top of chest, top side of sleeves and bottom 150mm of hem and cuffs. You cant even tell it has been coated visually or by feel. It was awesome wet bush hunting this year (most days this year ). I need to redo a bit more of it however as it ended up soaked on one hunt after bush bashing wet as pepperwood and high crown fern heading out otherwise it barely got wet.

I'm just about to do two pairs of SC overtrou which aren't waterproof any more and my slip-on shoes.

I used a 1 silicone to 4 spirits ratio .
Mixed it by using my cordless drill spinning a small whisk flogged out of the kitchen. This is way easier and faster than mixing by hand.
