Jack Pyke Waterproofs review

Well, I was looking all over for a review on Jack Pyke Hunter Jacket and Trousers, but I did find a few recommendations, so after buying a set I thought I'd do a quick review.

For ease's sake I'll just link through to my blog - here.

I hope you find it a little useful, if only for the images

It'll be a review when you can tell us how they performed in the rain!

Very true, luckily I live in Britain so that update should be along pretty soon

They would have been well tested up here this last 48hrs!

I always liked the Ventile or Double Ventile trousers (but cannot afford them nowadays) most modern materials (breathable or not) make you just as wet
from condensation.

Hi,
I was looking at these too!
I also looked at the Prologic suit.
Bit concerned with the freedom of movement available wearing this sort of kit whilst walking?

If it helps I use the jacket part semi-regularly as a normal jacket if its raining and have no issue with it at all and used the trousers a fair bit a while back, again I found no movement problems.

Be warned though, being a bit daft I was wearing it when it was still pretty warm and it got a wee bit smelly and I sweated a load - but then it was still warm, I was more using it to keep the damp off my knees when kneeling down in mud to get some dragonfly shots.
