Thread: Wet weather jackets on a budget!

G'day fellas.

Looking for a new wet weather jacket (can't afford Swazi atm!) what would you recommend under $350?

I've heard the new HE gear isn't half bad and few sales on atm, also how good/bad is the new Ridgeline Evolution stuff?
Have a marmot lightweight jacket for running but after something bit tougher for the bush/tramping.

Send us ya wisdom,
Cheers.

Love my HE Odyssey thus far

My old man brought a hunters element coat from h&f sale for $160 last year he worn it ever wet or cold or windy day since doing contract fencing & he never got wet in it once Im impressed with it but I gave him shit that he'd be wet all the time when he got it but it's me that's been wet at work so iv give in & just gone & brought one to

Nothing wrong with the stoneycreek stowit jacket, get a size you can layer up underneath.

Macpac Copland $ 230ish

Look out for used stuff on here. What size are U ?

I was after a jacket on a budget too and bought this one; it's great!

What size are you? There is/was a Earth Sea Sky Hydrophobia for sale on here for $250. You wont find a better jacket no matter what you pay

It's a plastic bag with arms, you get just as wet inside the thing as outside.

Most likely a large mate, 5'11 85kg ish. I'll have a browse and see if I can find it

Its a medium. I am A large in most things but use a medium Hydrophobia on farm

we have plenty of HE gear, some of it is years old and still warm and dry. my only gripe is that they fade like crazy after a time. the wifes coat which she keeps in the ute has gone from jungle camo to almost grey, the dog bed which is made of the same material has also faded from sunlight exposure.

I have a HE jacket unworn size L I think pm if interested I’ll send you a pic. It’s been sitting in a box for a few years. Long story.
