Does anyone use any of the Jack Pyke gear or clothing? I have heard mixed reviews.

Tony, I have a Jack Pyke game bag which I only use when my grandson comes fishing with me. It is made well and has lasted for years.

I have been looking at the game bags for stalking rivers. My old gas mask case is getting a little ragged now. I also like the look of their hunting jackets, not the cammo ones but the plain green. Winter's coming!

I got one of their tin mugs - has lasted well though the paint has come off. Not very helpful I know....

I also have one of their game bags and it's great, also holds far more than you would think.

Dam right, I managed to fit a hip flask, 20 odd cartridges and three pheasants in mine!! Couldn't belive it!, it only cost 18 quid. Bargain.

I've been using one of their suits for over two years now, a Hunter jacket and trousers. Worn over a fleece and some thermals it is great in winter and the jacket has a zip down 'seat' if you are not wearing waterproof trousers. I never carry a brolly and it has been perfectly waterproof to date, the only fault is that the lining in the sleeves can be a bit sweaty in summer.

Hope this of some use.

Lovely hat
