Water proofs

[wymkof]

Hi Folks,

Has any one any idea were I can get a waterproof top with detachable sleeves? I cannot shoot with normal waterproof tops.
Its guaranteed that we will have a hot summer if I buy some new water proofs.

thanks

The best place to try is golf shops or some of the big sports chians that have a small golf dept. (JJb, sports soccer etc)

Try Decathlon This branch shouldn't be far from you.

Golf and Cycling are the ways to go

I've got an Altura Cycling gilet that is wind and waterproof and a Tog24 short sleeved golf pullover - one bought reduced online the other at a designer outlet

Wymkof,

Pop this name into a search engine, "Jeantex".

You'll probaly end up in amazon, it's not cheap stuff but they do have alot of fully water proof jackets with detachable sleeves.

I've got this one, it's great.

One thing I have noticed, maybe others have too? Look at the sleeves. Some are shaped so they point down from the shoulder, whilst others form a horizontal T.

Think about it. You your arms into a T to shoot, but the waist is held tight by a quiver belt, and maybe a chest guard. This means you are pulling against the material.

Just an aside point to check the cut of the arms when looking in a shop.

Ramble over

On a similar subject does anyone have any recommendations for snug, waterproof jackets or tops for small ladies? I have been really struggling to find something to shoot in that is not too baggy around the arms and body, doesn't have a collar that gets in the way etc.

Have looked in golf shops, sports shops, camping shops, not to mention various websites. Haven't found anything appropriate yet. Last weekend at Wetherby I ended up just wearing a waterproof jacket between ends and getting wet on the line. Far from ideal.

Suggestions anyone?

Hi Deemon,

Cycling jackets are probably the sort of thing you're looking for.

They come in sizes of microscopic to tiny and are fitted (aerodynamics and the such, lol). I use one that I found (they do them if FB sizes as well if you look hard enough) and means I don't have issues with the coat catching the string.

You could try the 3rd Element form Paramo. Converts to a gilet by detaching sleeves:

Alternatively, why not by a discounted jacket in an outlet village and cut the sleeves to suit?
