As the weather changes with the onset of winter, so does the selection of stalking kit hanging in the Garryloop utility room. My morning routine is to wander in there with my cuppa and stick my nose out of the door to check if the weather matches the forecast. We live close to the coast and get very little sub-zero weather because of the sea’s influence. I have been here nearly 20 years and am yet to see any significant snowfall near the house. Though it’s a different story if I head to the high ground of the Galloway Hills.
In truth, I always wear my preferred smocks, although for cooler days I will grab the Deerhunter Pro Gamekeeper in preference to the lighter Explore. It is a slightly heavier material so protects the bones
