Country innovation Kestrel Waistcoat Ventile

[Barn Owl]

Anyone have one of the above?

I've had the 'Venture' one for a few years but the rrp of £170! for the 'Kestrel' put me off.

Anyhow, the 'Kestrel' is being discontinued and is selling for £85 via the company web site. (I've no connection etc...).

So I got one in the post today,
£170 worth? No way tbh, £85 worth? just about if you take the other waistcoat is c.£65.

I do like it though and i'm glad I got one,fits over my 'Kestrel' smock a treat.

16 pockets in all and all very well placed.

No pics with me as a model yet:o

I love my Kestrel smock but I don't think I'd wear the waistcoat myself, I'm generally not smart enough to pull it off I don't think.

Have you got the trews as well Tom ? I've looked at them a few times at Tamarack but never taken the plunge

I do have the trousers Rich,but I took out the lining as it made them too warm for me.

They're identical in pocket layout to Craghopper kiwis.

Really good for Winter/rain with the lining though.
