This Autumn I will be needing a set of waterproof camouflage trousers and coat. I will be spending lots of time stalking/crawling and expect to be testing whatever I get to the maximum.
Can anyone suggest a manufacturer who makes such items which are waterproof, quiet and non reflective etc, preferably not costing the earth as I would expect the items to be past their best by the time I am finished with them,

Deerhunter stuff is good, I wear it a lot and it gets wet by I don't. It is has a soft finish with a goretex type membrane and is designed for hunting so it does not rustle and is very quiet to move in. Possible down side is it is padded so you can get warm in it.

I am in the land of Deerhunter next month

I do like the deer hunter kit and it does meet all the criteria. Sportsman Gun Centre stock a good range from reasonable priced to a small investment.
I could not find a jacket that looked perfect, they all appear to have all the pockets on the front and I could see no signs of elbow or knee pads etc,

Will keep looking,

Mine does have pockets on the front but has padded elbows as well. I got jacket and trousers from a small shop in DK for under 90 quid

Army surplus, not too bad and really cheap an cheerfull.

Have a look at the Bushwear web site. I have Swede Team suit that I bought from them two years ago. Keeps out all but the very worst of rain which I can cope with as long as I am warm, which I always am. there is always Harikla but it is bloody expensive.
I would also look at the folk that advertise in Gunmart etc, they sell Scandinavian two piece suits plus you get lots extras thrown in. Begins with a J. I'd sarch for you but laptop is on the fritz and I'm on my phone.

Don't let anyone point you down the route of US Forces Extreme Cold Weather gear - I have a goertex jacket and overtrousers in jungle dpm and whilst they are relatively cheap and very waterproof, I don't regard them as quiet enough for woodland stalking. Excellent range gear but not stealth gear!

100% agree, I have an ECWS jacket, 100% waterproof, handy pockets, elbow patches and noisier than a noisy thing.

ECWS stuff has become expensive these days as well.
