Whilst the traditional style of jacket is still commonplace on the shooting field, gone are many of the heavy tweed examples and in are the new light weight fabrics and even lightweight washable tweed jackets. These new style shooting jackets are superb and really enable you to move freely when shooting and most importantly keep you dry. Aigle, Musto, Schoffel and Barbour are excellent brands on the market. They produce jackets that are waterproof, breathable, and very light weight.
