Canvas vs. Leather
There are two major materials that are used for jackets and
pants - leather and canvas. Leather is just normal leather that
is usually lined with canvas. Canvas is a coarse cotton fabric
that is made in a way to make it as stiff as possible. The
leather jackets is better suited for outdoor shooting as it
doesn't get as affected by moist, while the canvas jacket is
much stiffer and give better support and stays stiff for a
longer time. |
Used vs. New
There is a hype among new shooter around the world to get
new equipment when they start out. I believe that is a waste of
money. A beginner doesn't know what is good for them and doesn't
have the shooting skills. It is better to focus more on the
skills than the equipment for the first year or so.
A good alternative to used are the cheaper jackets offered by
Monard, Kustermann, Gehmann, Try&Bom etc. They usually costs
between $100-200 and is a good way to make sure that the size is
right while you don't spend a lot of money.
