    I have a ridgeline mallard that I use for duck shooting it's a nice jacket keeps you dry the only issue I have with it is it's short doesn't come down the legs at all for hunting in the bush I have a Swazi tahr anorak xp which is a great jacket which comes all the way down to the bottom of my shorts so keeps me dry as

    I use the hunters element XTR pacstealth jacket and it works a treat. It's just a shell, so won't keep you warm on its own, but ticks all the other boxes - especially packing down and weighting next to nothing.
