theres a 60% sale on in cabelas i got kitted out for 165 euro shipping and all in heres what i went for they have loads of camo wear but i thought this was the best rain wear its the Gortex MT050 i went for the ground shipping its a little cheaper as i am in no hurry with it now as the deer season is more or less over, if you go for the air shipping you`ll have it in about 7/9 days i bought stuff of cabelas before be carefull when ordering pick the option of not having invoice on side of box if its a big amount cause the customs could see it and you`ll get taxed i made this mistake on a range finder got stung for 110 euro

Cabelas every time, and take a look at the other gear while your there e.g cammo hats for €2 and cammo t shirts for €6. I get loads of gear there, even hiking socks are half the price. You can get caught for duty by the post man the odd time mind you!

Yea, pants and jacket, Its very silent and feels realy soft but is a tough material, you could easily stalk deer in it

So the Cabelas stuff is worth getting then? I bought a Remington camo jacket for about £90 stg last year off ebay for rough shooting in. Supposedly 100 per cent waterproof but I got soaked through a coupleof times last season on wet days. Would the Cabalas stuff stand up to tramping round wet Tyrone countryside in December for six hours in the pissing rain?

Just kiddin, A friend of mine has a similar suit and he stays 100% dry on the wettest coldest windiest day your ever likley to be hunting in.

Mac Tire · 21-02-2008 09:21AM

Well it does the job tramping around the wet Donegal countryside in the pi$$ing rain, and what ever clouds hit us, will hit you!!!

A British Army camo smock & pants (given to me by a friend), sleeveless green jacket & waterproof walking boots, Black wolly hat, thinsulate gloves do the trick for me.

All I see are a load of bushes and grass? Where are you?!!

If its waterproof you want look at the duck shooting/wildfowling gear in Cabelas. The onlt problem is... there is soooo much to choose from! I was looking at a deerhunter jacket here for €200 but instead I got full fleece lined cammo bib (dungarees) and jacket for €150! Fully waterproof and reversable for the warmer weather. I recomend the bibs to keep the serious cold out.
