custom 7mm08

hello to all this year i am starting to move away from the camo patterns and go more to the dark olive green colour. i haver bought deerhunter ram trousers and the deerhunter montana 5in1 jacket. i was wondering if anyone else here uses them or have done in the past and what did they think of it as regards comfort/noise/wear and tear. got it as i was offered it at a very good price cheers.

Ive just been down to connollys red mills and ordered the montana jacket and trousers of joe. Should have them by saturday. From what ive been told and read they seem to be very reliable, quiet and a great stalking outfit. I also got them ordered them in the olive green. Hope there as good as ive been told!

interested to know what you think of the montana jacket as i am planning to buy one.

I have the Montana jacket. It can be a bit too warm with the fleece lining in if you are moving around as opposed to sitting still in the cold. The hood design is the only thing I don't really like, I leave it behind and wear a hat. Its got these big flaps that either cover half your face when fastened or flap around annoyingly when unfastened. That aside, its a great jacket. It is very silent and waterproof. I'm very happy with mine.

If you want a WARM jacket for a hide, try a snugpak

I have used them, and Man they are Snug as the name suggests

If you are walking a lot, any jacket and you will be warm, gloves, good wat warm socks and then you will nbe fine.

I have a green and black wooly hat with a goretex lining, really good, seeland gloves and le Chameau boots and goretex socks.
Snug as a bug in a rug
My jacket, a 1990 M50 american jacket, tough as auld boots

i do a lot of walking up and down the mountains and am always too hot ! Also wear a hat , cannot stand the hood.
I think the deer hunter seems to be the best quality for money value.

The Jacket needs to be washable, If you are after deer, you will get blood on you. My old jacket is well blood stained, i carrried a small stag on my shoulders many years ago. I was covered in blood by the time Iwas back at the car. Now i bing a wheel barrow in the boot

A sleeve that can be rolled up is a must for gutting

If you have shillins McBride in Athlone is an agent

It's hard to be perfect all the time.
I try not to get muck on my clothes either but sometimes one can't help getting mucky.

It also needs to be barbed wire resistant.
many an expensive jacket was ripped going through farm land ditches.

Some guys budget is bigger than others, I have a general purpose hunting jacket and it does me. The gloves and hat I think more of.

Some guys were Donegal Tweed and a shirt and tie, horses for courses.

I hear ya!The hood is a nuisance, you turn your head but the hood doesn't move so really all you can see is straight ahead of you, baseball cap does the job for me!

The woman I find who will wash my blood stained clothes after a deer I'll marry.
Until then

My Hunting jacket has lots of stains on it, does not bother me or the deer. I boil it every once in a while to kill germs.

Some of yer fancy stuff you can't do same.
