From the gun shop
The Editor’s pick of the latest and best shooting kit to hit the market
1 Litchfield Loden field coat
RRP: £695 farlows.co.uk
The coat is interlined with a waterproof, breathable barrier lining, which will keep the wearer dry and comfortable in all weathers. It is designed to repel moisture while being extremely hardwearing. It also has two large cartridge pockets and all snaps are silenced and rubberised to protect gun stocks from scratches.
2 Fernley men’s breeks
RRP: £164.95 alanpaine.co.uk
These breeks are very lightweight, waterproof and breathable, making them an ideal item to wear walking-up or stalking long distances. They have deep, angled side pockets and handy concealed back welt pockets for any valuables you don’t want to be crushed as you crawl to your firing point.
3 Water resistant fly box
RRP: £12.99 sportfish.co.uk
This will give you peace of mind if you worry about dropping your fly box in the river and destroying all your flies. It has a waterresistant seal and new vertically placed slotted foam rows offer increased capacity for up to 237 flies.
4 Rosedale game bag
RRP: £152 crootsengland.co.uk
This canvas game bag has a good-sized main compartment and a large netted pocket on the front. The cotton webbing shoulder strap is fully adjustable and is a comfortable 2in wide. A worthy companion on the moor when walking-up grouse or picking up. Also available in fox tan.
5 Speedloader belt
RRP: £62 furfeatherandfin.com
This speedloader belt, which can carry up to 25 cartridges, is the perfect thing for when you want to make the most of your opportunities. Lots of people say they are happy to load from their pockets but, in our experience, once they’ve tried a belt there’s no going back.
