I bought one of your dusters back in 1994 or so when I was 16. I'm 43 now and still wearing it. Its had patches and been reproofed a few times. Still keeping dry on the trails...
I'm glad to see this comment. I'm about to buy a duster from this company and was concerned about it being cotton because where I live, cotton will kill you if it gets wet.
Okay was my duster also purchased in 89 cursed? I went through 3 . Still got my duster my Stihl chainsaw and my model 20. The important stuff! Well except the money, property and the Jag.
I guess someone outgrew mine because they hung it on their horse fence out by the road with a sign that said free. It fits me perfect. Best coat I’ve ever had. It could probably use a reproof but it keeps me dry anyway.
I have the 1486 grizzly (received as a gift) 2020 for my birthday ... and I have the coat (original outback collection) for 30 years made in canada # 6109 very good quality of workmanship and material
I have numerous products of yours and love every one of them. I wish you all had an oilskin poncho. I saw one at one time and ordered it, but the company sent my money back and said they were no longer available.
Very informative video, thank you. FYI: Eliminate the background music! We can to hear and understand what you are saying, we do not want fighting the music. Many folks have hearing difficulties thus the background music quickly becomes at best distracting at worse extremely annoying.
@@blankblank2345 oilskin can be manufactured by your self, I suggest looking at bush craft and primitive skills u tube the treatment I used was a cleaner than a product called Duck cloth Balm got it at western store in KY. That product was for oil skin preserve not turn fabric into oil skin. Best of luck I've personally seen home made oilskin at SAS events as good as my purchased product. 👍
How come these don't have hoods I've got one I was given as a present twenty years ago it still fits but hardly worn it as the rain runs down the back of my neck
I was so disappointed to find that my brand new Outback riding coat wasn't waterproof. I guess it will keep you dry so long as you don't send too much time in the rain.
You might want to talk to the manufacturers, when we were kids we had an old oil skin that was probably 20+ years old and a hand me down from our grandfather. He wore horse riding all the time and often had it tied to the back of his saddle just in case, it so well worn that the leg flaps were shredded. He got a new oilskin just to keep his legs dry in the saddle but that oilskin still kept us kids dry even out in the heaviest showers of rain.
I know this is old but an oilskin riding coat should definitely be waterproof. I work for the USPS and have a lot of uncovered clusterboxes on my route. I live in Georgia so when it rains, it doesn't just pour, it floods. It rains so hard that the drops sting your skin. But the combination of the oilskin packable poncho and Trapper hat keep me 100% dry even when the mail gets so wet it becomes amorphous slop.
