REISTO Waterproof Shooting Jacket: the lightweight rain shell built for real UK clay shooting days

If you shoot clays in the UK, you already know the truth: the forecast is a suggestion. A proper waterproof layer is not a “nice to have”, it is the difference between staying focused and spending the day cold, damp, and distracted. The REISTO Waterproof Shooting Jacket is a purpose-built shooting shell designed to keep you dry without adding bulk, so your mount stays clean and your swing stays free.

Who this jacket is for

This jacket is for the shooter who wants a proper waterproof layer that still feels like shooting kit. If you shoot sporting, skeet, or trap and you are fed up with heavy, flappy raincoats that mess with your mount, this is the sort of shell that belongs in your bag.

• Perfect for: damp mornings, surprise showers, windy stands, and long sessions where comfort matters.
• Not trying to be: a bulky winter parka. This is a lightweight waterproof shooting layer.

What makes it different from a standard waterproof

A normal outdoor waterproof is designed for walking, not repeated gun mounting, fast reloads, and movement at shoulder height. The REISTO Waterproof Shooting Jacket is designed specifically around shooting needs: durability in the shoulder area, practical pocketing, and airflow control so you can keep moving without overheating.

The outer is 100% polyester with a TPU waterproof coating, and inside it uses a 100% polyester mesh lining to improve breathability and comfort during active use. Product page here.

Cartridge pockets: the detail shooters care about

This is where a “shooting” jacket earns the name. The REISTO Waterproof Shooting Jacket includes two large front pockets, and Reisto states that each front pocket comfortably holds around 25 cartridges. That matters on the ground because it reduces fumbling and keeps your reloads smooth, especially in wet weather when you want everything simple and repeatable. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

Fit and sizing guidance

Reisto has published a revised size chart and notes that the recommended body chest measurements refer to the wearer, with jackets designed with around 8 to 10 cm of ease for comfort, movement, and light layering. If you plan to wear this jacket over a shooting vest, Reisto recommends sizing up for a comfortable fit. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
