    Got a set of flecktarn german surplus gore-tex today. Ordered them from flecktarn.co.uk on Tuesday, cost was £45 Sterling and £8 postage. They are pre-issued but mint nick:D! I climbed croagh patrick today to try them out and I was amazed. Lashing rain and from my guessing 35-45 mph winds. Came down bone dry and very happy! Why the hell would you buy realtree camo for 200-400 quid when you can get this stuff!

    I have a set of them aswell the trousers are good but the jacket I have is like tissue paper..

    I paid €45 for the tousers unissued from the Army Surplus in Midleton.

    Military surplus stuff is the way to go.

    Best gear I've bought for years. I just couldn't believe I got the jacket and trousers(with braces:)) for what worked out at less than €70 including p&p:D

    any chance of sticking a pic of these up lads
    is it water proof gear yer on about
    or is it the stuff they try passingg at the markets as wet gear but its actually old nbc suits

    if yer into deer stalking or thinking of getting into it id advise buying mole skin clothing as it doesnt make any noise when walking or when branches snag ya

    I bought a Deer hunter Poncho this week for €89 marked down from €130. Warm as toast, waterproof to Slievenaman standards and still good enough to wear out to Tumple Baaaar last night to the christmas party.

    Has loads of pockets and even comes with a Mozzy net in the Hood.
    Makes no noise when worn.

    Santy might buy me a matching trousers.

    I thought those NBC suits were waterproof too!

    They are waterproof[NBC suits]..But they dont breathe like Gore Tex.It would defeat the purpose of NBC protection.:D

    as grizz said not breathable you will bake in them if under pressure
    carrying a deer or rolling over bushes while out beating foxes lol

    I have quite a bit of surplus flecktarn gear including these, all good stuff, I buy from Rangershop.de or Troph-e-shop.com, find their prices better than fecktarn.co.uk
