The elastic and adjustable suspenders have strong slim buckles; there is an innovative V-shaped front pocket with mesh compartments and water-resistant zippers; and a detachable flip-over zipper inner pocket with mesh compartments & spring.

3 annual KWCA memberships, courtesy of John Forsey Guns
John Forsey is also very generously offering up not one but THREE annual memberships for the Kent Wildfowling and Conservation Association. The KWCA has shooting rights on the River Cam washes near Upware; on the Ouse Washes at Sutton and at Sutton Gault, and on the River Great Ooze near Cottenham. There are some wonderful wildfowling opportunities within easy driving distance of each other.
If you want to travel a further north to the North Norfolk coast the club has excellent opportunities available at Thornham, where it has over 650 acres of prime saltmarsh, and further east at Burnham where there are five miles of rights on the saltmarshes.
To the south into Essex the club has shooting land available in the Colchester and Southend areas, both inland and saltmarsh.
It goes without saying that the club has 1,000s of acres of shooting rights in Kent and East Sussex. All in all, membership of the KWCA offers shooting rights perhaps unrivalled by any other club in Britain, and certainly unrivalled in our region, and membership means that you will never again have to worry about where to go shooting.

Ridgeline Ascent Softshell Pants
Available in a choice of Field Olive or DIRT Camo, Ridgeline’s Ascent Softshell Pants are the ultimate cold-weather trousers - perfect for keeping you concealed in the hide.
They feature a rugged polyester outer for superb abrasion resistance and durability together with a warm, high-wicking, grid-fleece inner.
Laminated between these two layers is a membrane which provides a Hydrostatic Head of 5,000mm in conjunction with a high level of breathability — the seams are not sealed so we can’t claim they’re ‘waterproof’ but they could certainly be described as highly water resistant. They’re also extremely quick-drying and warm when they’re wet. Needless to say, the whole fabric is silent.
They feature two large cargo pockets on the thighs together with two deep, zipped hand pockets — all the zips fasten with easy-grab pullers, making them straightforward to operate with cold or gloved hands.
Rugged belt loops and a tough, over-sized belt button combine to keep your trousers where they should be — up! Durable poppers at the ankles enable you to cinch the trousers tight around your boots.
