Picking Up  The Appropriate Camo Jacket.

If your going to purchase something whether it's a hunting clothes or just about anything else you want to check into the options.

To consider and  to think about :-

  • What sort of area are you going to be shooting? 
  • Does the outer need to be waterproof and windproof?
  • What about protection from bitter weather?
  • How frequently will it be used?
  • How is the hood adjusted?  I'll go into that later.
  • Are particular features obligatory?
  • Can it give up for easy and available movement?
  • Price?


The next point, is a fast critique of the jackets available on the net, find the online surveys, check out the forums and enquire,  look around to find the average price and to see what offers are available.
Patterning and color will probably need to be a compromise, unless you just hunt one place and for one season of the year, don?t get too hung up on it just use common sense.

Price is always going to be a killer, buy the best you can afford but consider how often is going to be used. The best value idea has a big impact as  top price used only once or twice a year isn?t so good but if you hunt a lot then top of the range kit becomes worth it.

From what we have already done it should be relatively easy to pick a few likely candidates.

It gets to be a bit more work now, I personally believe that you should always try before you buy so it s back to the internet or local trade/phone directories to find a local supplier.  Once found visit the shop and try the camo jacket on and buy unless they look like they are going to rip you off.


Hoods.
I'm a bit over sensitive about these for safety reasons. The adjusters fitted should enable the hood to be pulled snugly to the head. Properly fitting the hood should turn with you like a second skin. This prevents the hood obscuring one of your eyes as you turn look around.
Sizes.
Not problems in a shop I in a shop you can just try the jacket on, if one jacket is tight just try on the next one until you feel comfortable just keep trying jackets until you find one you like.
Because of what you want it for it's likely that you will want a bit more room in it than you might otherwise.

Unless money is the most important issue always get a delivery with a tracking number or signature as it can save you so much hassle.

I've concentrated mainly on cool/cold weather jackets but the points mostly apply to summer clothes as well. I don t like too much exposed skin, the bugs really munch down on me, so I d suggest a light camouflage jacket or a camo shirt in hot weather.
