    Yeah it will probably do the job no problems, Just watch out for their zips, I see they say the main one is a YKK but any others will be cheap shit.
    Shoot it, root it & then BBQ it !!!

    Hunters Element All Rounder Jacket

    Tried the hunters element range jacket and the zipper had a poor match and sticky. This was on more than one. Might be better now. Maybe I'm fussy but it would have drove me crazy.

    Have seen a lot of Hunters element pocket zips fail.

    I handled one recently, looked way nicer finish than the HE one I was trying on next to it. Stiching all over the shot and a sticky zip. I have a pair of HE pants, fabric and design are great, but execution is poor (shoddy stitching and sticky zips). Actually still really like the pants, I just know I will have to do some running repairs

    Are they made from that loud scratchy water proof material though? Or is it the quiet fleecy kind of stuff? Hard to tell from photos online.

    Kinda in between, isnt a full brushed tricot (so wont hold heaps of water, is lighter and will dry faster) but is still much quieter than a plain gortex style raincoat. Good comprimise I think, Im campaining for one for chrissy. haha

    Nick is right,, sort of in between the two, very light, not too scratchy, havent had issues with zips yet, hardest thing is to determine which one to buy as there are so many models. im trying the layered approach so time will tell if they are superior to my ol huntec gear.
