How can we say that this hunting coat is waterproof?
We’ve validated this coat by subjecting it to the shower test, under 60 litres of water/m²/hour, for 1 h. This test reproduces average rain shower conditions. In fact, we measure a fabric’s resistance to a water column, in mm (based on the ISO 811 standard). The higher the pressure, the more waterproof the tissue is. This coat and its elements have a waterproofness of 2000 mm, which is equivalent to 12 cm of rain over 2 hours. So, you can hunt without getting soaked.
A large split on the back, designed to facilitate your movements
Often, the main issue is, when you hunt with a long coat which doesn’t have a split in the back, your steps aren’t particularly fluid, or smooth. The same applies when you need to jump over a stream, or water pool, or climb over an obstacle: freedom of movement isn’t optimal, you’re bound to feel restricted and uncomfortable in your clothing. Using this as a base, our teams decided to leave an opening on the lower back of the coat (a split), so that none of your movements are hindered.
We listened to you: this long coat means you can hunt, even in wet weather
It’s true, hunting in the rain isn’t necessarily always a pleasure. This rings even truer when you don’t have the right clothes on. Whether you’re following your dog in the rain, or staying at the post during a shower, wet weather can be troublesome. The same applies in the undergrowth, when you’re having to forge a path amongst packed oak trees, with drops falling from the branches, thoroughly soaking you. So, we listened to you on this subject in order to offer you a long, waterproof coat
Other points to note for this long hunting coat
On this model, the adjustable hood cannot be removed. Sleeves can be adjusted using the rip-tab fastenings. The coat can be opened and closed using press-studs on the front, as well as a double zip on the top and bottom sections. On the chest, you have a notch for easy access to your dog’s training collar controller (or your walkie talkie, if you’re posted for driven shooting). 4 flaps in the back provide improved ventilation.
Repairability
Does your clothing have a snag? Want to know how to repair it?
The good news is that they can be repaired! You can apply an iron-on patch to prevent the tear from getting bigger or the fibres from coming out. A patch, scissors, an iron and that’s it!
Pockets and a game bag for carrying your documents and accessories
This coat, which is just under knee-length depending on your height, has 2 large front pockets for ammunition. The pockets can be closed via a flap, using press-studs. There’s also a zipped internal pocket, which is ideal for storing your licence, for example. On the back, you have a game bag, designed to allow you to easily transport any game birds you’ve collected.
