Ventile Hunting Jacket

Ventile Hunting Jacket

Unquestionably the greatest breathable, waterproof upland hunting jacket ever made. Thoughtfully constructed and cut from the world's best hunting fabric— Ventile, a cotton fabric that runs the gauntlet of briars and thorns without a snag, yet can efficiently transport moisture vapor away from your body to keep you cool. All stress points are bar-tacked, and all seams are double stitched with side seams "rear-facing" to reduce wear. Six exterior and two interior pockets. In khaki. Imported.Sizes: M(38-40), L(42-44), XL(46-48), XXL(50-52).

Disappointed, February 19, 2010
By: Zone3 from Upper Michigan - Avid Grouse Hunter

"I received the "Ventile Hunting Jacket" as a recent gift. I have yet to use it for it's intended purpose, which is upland bird hunting. I've been looking to replace my old, worn out and heavy waxed cotton hunting coat and this so-called hunting jacket, made with ventile cotton, looked like it would fill the bill.

However, the version of this jacket I received has no rear game pocket. (Apparently, a former version had a built-in game pocket. Why this feature was eliminated remains unexplained). Further, although the outside bellows pockets will carry plenty of loose shells, there are no loops to secure them.

With no place to carry game or even stash a couple of water bottles, this jacket cannot stand alone for upland hunting and makes something like a strap vest an essential accessory.

Though it lacks practical features, the jacket looks rich, is comfortable and appears well constructed. I take a 46 regular and my size 'large' allows for limited layering of a sleeveless vest over a light to medium shirt. The sleeves of this jacket are not big enough around to allow for a heavy shirt or sweater without binding an average man's arms.

I could not recommend this jacket to a friend except as an over-the-top "barn coat"."

Best Hunting Coat Ever Owned, February 2, 2010
By: OenoG8r

"I bought my coat before this season opened and haven't taken it off. Absolutely the most functional hunting coat I've ever owned, and undoubtedly the most comfortable. The game pocket is easily cleaned, shells are always ready and the hand warmers truly keep hands warm. I wear mine every day as a top coat to a suit or for a quick run to the store, it just feels right.I'm buying another one...for my son."

"This jacket is one of the finest jackets I have ever worn hunting. Whether hunting for grouse or quail this jacket just doesn’t quit. I have worn this jacket through the toughest of cover without feeling a briar even once and during the nastiest of weather without getting wet. This jacket might have a high price tag but the money you spend on this jacket won't compare to what it is really worth."
