Throw lol all though a bus would be just as painful

I've got the Hunters Element Odyssey and have been super impressed , has lasted bloody well (I do look after my shit though) and have stayed dry each and every time that I have used it. It isn't the smallest jacket out by meh

How do you find the hydrophobia?

We all want the impossible from hunting clothing, myself included. Lightweight, waterproof and durable (plus quiet) is a tall order for any material.

HI all
Just got another army gortex raincoat, same size except longer model. Very pleased with it and it weighs in at 693 grams on the scales. Already been in another downpour while walking the dogs and no leaks at all and toasty inside.
Cheers Ruger7mm

I have a Black diamond Stormline rain jacket, 320 grams. A couple of pockets and pit zips. Simple adjustable hood. Its kept me dry the last two winters on the fence line (farm fencing, so not exactly kind to gear) I wash it when its filthy and reproof it. It seems to breath well enough too. I've got an Arc'teryx too but not for hunting. Its 7 years old, made with Gore-Tex pro and has never let me down in day after day of downpours. You'd have to take a seat when they present you with the invoice though.
With regards to stow it jackets, mine leaked all around the shoulders and neck after just two hours in steady rain. Some Stoney creek gear hasn't been well thought out in my experience.

Which model is the longer version?

+1 for the Swazi tahr ultralite. Rate mine, good long cut very lite weight keeps wind out. Anything made of lite weight material will leak after to much scrub bashing tho.

Hi Bomb
When you order you can choose between 2 or 3 heights for the same chest measurement. The long is 100mm longer than the medium.
