View Full Version : Jacket liner
Do anyone of you guys know where to get a waterproof liner for a jacket. I often wear a poly/cotton jackets and it would be great if I could use a liner with them.
Special Air-Sea services sell a Gortex jacket liner for £24.99. Havn't got one myself so I can't really comment on how good they are.
If you want a look their web site is www.sasskit.co.uk
I've got a goretex jacket liner from SASS - it does a fine job of stopping the wet from outside my jacket getting to me, but so far it hasn't really been cold enough for me to wear it comfortably
Actually, that's not quite true - on a wet and windy day the liner did a good job of keeping me warm while the jacket dried out - I've found that, once wet, my jacket feels very cold in the wind til it's dried out again
It should get more use in the new year though
I got one of the Dutch Army Goretex liners from SASS recently with the intention of trying it in my M65. The sales and service were great and the liner certainly looks the part, but in the end I didn't use it as it was a bit longer than the M65 at the back, and also it would have required different button locations to the regular M65 cold weather liner, which would have made it really hard to use both liners or to swap between them.
In the end I got a lightweight ripstop nylon poncho on ebay. I think I prefer this as the M65 should never get wet enough to be cold or need drying out. Haven't yet tried it in any real serious rain though. Also the ponch has more potential uses (shelter, groundsheet etc).
Now that you've reminded me I'll put the Goretex liner up for sale in the classifieds for £20 including post - it's an XL.

That's a good point - stop the rain getting on the jacket, or stop it getting to you?
After much agonising, I've finally realised that it's a matter of context - when I'm cycling (I'm the real bicycling bushcrafter :rolmao: ) I'll use the liner and when I'm on foot I'll use my poncho
