My perfect sailing jacket

[NickRobinson]

Because I can't help myself from searching, this seems to be their site: http://www.thebunkerwarehouse.co.uk

I can't find that jacket in their eBay store, but found these alternative suppliers:

• Kirkby Lonsdale, Cumbria: http://www.gr-rdtaylor.co.uk/#/army-surplus-jackets/4566432061
• eBay search: http://search.ebay.co.uk/search/search.dll?query=german%20navy%20%28parka,%22gore-tex%22%29

I asked in the shop if they had any sailing stuff to be told no, oh hang on a minute... the coat is heavy but well specced for sailing.. my last sailng jacket, a yellow Lidadl one is past its best after 8 years-

I have this one

very high wind / waterproof and good for cycling if you buy a pair of their packamac trousers

for sailing only issue is length but when worn with salopettes works brilliantly.
for cycling add these

I used mine for skiing in Scotland last winter and stayed dry

Got the Tribord Ozean women's jacket from decathlon - sizes for Tribord seem pretty big so watch that. had to re-order the salopettes in a smaller size, and there is no size guide on the website but the quality looks really good - nice high neck & lots of nice features. Will write again when it is tested in weather.

Tribord 900 womens jacket excellent bit of kit, very warm, definately water proof, and quality add ins - like the hand warmer pockets at the top, and the high collar and hood are excellent - all fully adjustable. Also got Tribord salopettes, great fit. Fist couple of inches of the leg bottoms were a bit wet but that was after it was sheeting down for about 8 hours, so can't really complain (think its 28000 waterproof level). Felt extremely warm in combo, highly recommend. Probably just as good as the named kits out there at twice the price.

Guy Cotten. Fantastic stuff, meets all your requirements except that it's yellow.

Have to agree, my 10yo+? TP1 H-L jacket started to let in water at the lower sleeves this 'summer'. So, got a RED Guy Cotten basic PVC jacket in the fishermans co-op at Paimpol for 53 euros!Thats £39.67.
If it lasts as long as the PVC chest highs i got in the fishermans co-op in Marstrand in 1998 (still going strong), they'll probably cremate me in it

I run pretty 'hot', but with a Trax/Buffalo mid layer, no problem, and the PVC dries inside quick, unlike some of the high tech jackets. After all, when its chucking down, the column inches probably overwhelm the high tech materials anyway, esp. if you are winching hard etc.
