New ISSF legal Jacket

PatrickS916 · Post by **PatrickS916** » Sat Jul 27, 2013 10:27 am

I currently use a high power style Creedmoor Jacket for smallbore and i recently realized that it has very little support in offhand anymore. I am getting better at shooting but i feel like a new jacket would aid me. I am looking for an ISSF legal jacket for me to compete in more competitions and air rifle.

I have seen Sauer, Freeland, Kurt Thune, and Champions Choice jackets around and i wanted to get some advice from people that have used them. i dont really have the money for a custom jacket right now, but i am a size 38 RH. any help is appreciated.

Contact Ursula at Mouche in Germany.Not sure if they have off the rack jackets or not but worth a try.Their web site is very out dated but don't let that put you off.Her product is at the top of the tree.Having said that there are a lot of jacketsfrom Pakistan out there now that are very good value and can be a good learner/intermediate item while your money tree grows a few more leaves...
A good fitting jacket can be more value to a good score than a flash rifle.
All the best.

Capapie from India may also a good option. Theirs web site is also not really informative, but their jackets and pants have at this time a good reputation here in Germany and they are much cheaper then the shooting clothes from the other well known producers.

Not sure if there is any seller in the USA but you can mail or call them direct. They are able to communicate in English. In Germany you can buy them from TEC-HRO.

And here are some impressions and opinions (in German) about the clothes from Capapie.

are Gehmann jackets good? I have been looking at a jacket from Champion's Choice that is within my budget.

We have a shooter at my local AR club using one of the basic Gehmann jackets (model 401 I think), seems quite well made for the price. If it fits your price bracket I would certainly recommend one. They have a comprehensive measuring guide on the Gehmann website, which should help you to get the correct size.

My oldest shot about 590 ave in standing air in her gehman jacket. custum and other brands are much better though. I got CC jacket for my second daughter a couple months ago. Really like it for the money!! Its better in my opinion than the Gehmn. Hope this helps a bit
