The way to select the Best Hunting Coat
It is wise to consider these important points before shelling out on a decent bit of kit. Because sporting jackets will come in many shapes, some far less suitable for the UK than the others.

The most waterproof are jackets with whats called, a tough shell. Others are more breathable, which allows you to build up a sweat without being wet inside your coat. The very best of these don't need as much care as lesser quality jackets, so read any marking.

Of course your coat should not be thrown in the wash with your usual laundry agent as this will play mayhem with the waterproofing.

You can re-apply waterproofing when needed, this can be purchased in atomizer form and is available from most good outdoor stores.

Some people still wear separate hats but hoods definitely have an advantage. Balaclavas can be worn easily under a hood if extra protection is needed. Hoods shouldn't obstruct your view so a neat fit is preferable.

It’s also better to go for a longer jacket rather than one that stops at the waist as this helps keep the back dry and warm when bending. Equally avoid buying a jacket which is too long as it could make your movement more restricted. Obviouslya jacket should be spacious enough for added layers underneath but not be loose sufficiently to flap about noisily. It is better to look for a jacket while actually wearing your outdoor clothes so that you can more easily check out the size.

Small details just like having elastic at the inner cuffs can make a great difference in rain and wind.

Think about what you will want to use pockets for, and make sure that your chosen jacket has the right number, of the right size and in the right places. There are different types of pocket such as some that have special compartments for specialised equipment. Pockets which heat your frozen hands are also useful in winter.

Metal zips are usually better than nylon ones but not as silent in use. Each part of the jacket must be reliable and do its job. Full length zips are better than half zips to be able to remove one layer easily. Ideally a zipper should seal your jacket up to your chin. But even some zip fasteners let in rain water so make sure yours is waterproof with a fabric flap to cover it.

Of course the colour is important; perhaps you might need more than one for different seasons. A deep colour green is a versatile option, but camouflage patterns will allow you to blend in better with some backgrounds. If you are out early in the year or summer you could take into account what leafage will be about. Then again, autumn or winter in the countryside would call for brown colours and yellow as found in those particular camouflage outfits. For those out around water, jackets even come with bullrush and grass patterns.

Other comfort details are extra wrist straps to tighten the cuffs, high collars and the very useful, rain water impermeable seat flap. Textiles can be found that make no sound when you move. All of these details, when taken into consideration with your purchase, will ensure many happy and comfortable outdoors hours
