In the market for a new jacket. Have used a huntech jacket for years but she's a bit leaky. Tried one of theacpac Copland on today. Ticks a few boxes. Pretty light midweight, not to scratchy and nice and long.
Any one used one? Any other suggestions for a not shit not super heavy jacket?
Yeah Nick I've had one for 3 years its a great Jacket with the longer length as I wear shorts.Quote:

I brought it to replace a top of the range Kuiu Jacket and its been far superior.

Can anyone tell what's the difference between the Copeland and the Resolution

Ive also got the Resolution and like it as well. I think the Copeland is a longer cut and maybe a slightly heavier material but not 100% sure
The resolution is pertex, more waterproof/breathableQuote:

That jacket is probably better than the Swazi Wapiti coat I bought for $700 and for that price you would think every thing works but I still have trouble with starting that zip to do the zip up . Next time I will go to another brand as I think Swazi is over priced.
The 2 way zips are almost always niggly. I hate themQuote:

I have an old Macpac Zealot, short jacket and the cheaper option to the Prophet. Its a climbing jacket but on 15 years old and it now leaks slightly but I still wear it around home.
I have the shorter Macpac jacket the, Dispatch. I too hunt in shorts, but don’t like jackets hanging down onto my legs. Anyway, I have put it through some nasty conditions and thrashed it and it’s still going strong. It’s lightweight and great for layering. Trampers have been doing it better and smarter than hunters in many fields of equipment for a long time now. The tramping market is very competitive so you can get some great deals on decent kit.
Go to the clearance part of the website can usually find last seasons colours for 50% or more off.
Take it back, my first Resolution jacket had a bung zip that I needed to actually climb out of the jacket first couple of times I used it, took it back and they replaced it with a new one.Quote:

The Copland is currently on clearance for $225-250 on the Macpac website
I have used tramping gear for years….actually don’t own any hunting branded clothing.
I too have a resolution, light and can shake dry
My first ever hunting jacket was a Swazi tahr anorak and it was a big sponge and would weigh about 3 kg wet and could not get it dry. Never looked back going once I got rid of it.
Currently a further 20% off clearance items on the Macpac website, so the Copland will be around $180-200. Also have the Salomon Quest Prime GTX boots for just over $200Quote:
