Im sure ive read a review or seen pics somewhere about the Panzerfaust Brit Camo windproofs but have been through the search option and cannot seem to find anything.

Any pointers please?

Reason i ask is wanted to hear peoples opinion of them compared to say Silvermans and or Sanjays?

Have just been able to compare a Silvermans and Panzer smock-Silvermans is made out of a slightly heavier material and colours not quite a match to originals but the Panzer one feels and sounds almost like shiny nylon :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

Pull down kit guides

52nd lowland.

Its my set, they compare to originals very favourabley from the two sets i've seen - given that the originals i saw were 60 years old.

Sanjays are made out of too heavy a fabric and fade to a salmon pink.

For £75 a set its the best windproofs you'll get at that price.

However the sizing is totally fucked, order the right size trousers fo ryou and a smock that is a size or two larger than the 'correct' size for those trousers.

He makes his smocks tiny but his trousers are correctly oversized to go over BD.

Thanks Gadge,are yours made of a nylon type material?

From what i saw of both i would go for a Silvermans one but not a new one as too expensive :cry: :cry:

Email him.

He wil have them made up in your size.

Choose the right trouser size to go over your normal trousers and then choose a jacket a size up form that, he makes his jackets a tad on the small size.
Its an oversuit its supposed to be roomy.
