Shooting Jacket.

Looking for a shooting jacket one that's close fitting worm and easy to through a gun up while wearing it. Around the 100 euro mark.

Would you not just go to a shop and try a few on?

Just watched some reviews for this jacket. It looks pretty good.

Just a few questions:

What is the level of waterproofing. I understand if you are out in heavy it will probably leak but what were the worst conditions that you didn't get wet.

Are the sleeves long? Looks like they are as I have long arms and really struggle to get a jacket with long enough arms.

Thanks

Wildhunter in Athlone have a range of Ridgeline stuff, overpriced if you ask me but I generally end up tearing holes in shooting jackets sooner rather than later so an ex army jacket does me.

Do you not find the wax jackets get mad heavy and are a ****er to dry when they get soaked , had one for years absolutely bullet proof only stopped wearing it because i out grew it.John norris always have great sales on in jackets.
****er spending 300 on a jacket and you tear the back out of it getting under barb wire.
Im using the deerhunter almati the past 2 years and takes are fair bit of abuse and still keeps me bone dry, not that expensive either.
Ridgeline are poor jackets for the money , they advertise them like they are swazi but in reality they leak like ****,monsoon my hole a heavy shower and your ringing.
