Almost two years later: The jackets are doing just fine!
Thumbs up for more like this! Links to the products are in the description 👍
Thanks for including links in the description. Remember to tag your video, like #raingear , #solognac and #wp100 to help those new people looking for reviews to find your videos. 👍🇺🇸
Just found your channel a few days ago. Sean from Corporals Corner recommended your channel.
Loving your content and no bullcrap reviews. Thanks to you I've found Decathlon and wow, they do have great prices! You've put me on to somewhere I can actually get good outdoor gear at sane prices.
And not to be missed, THANKS for your service!! 🤘
Excellent testing man! I wasn't sure how it would hold up when I first saw the car wash the other day. Solignac or however it's spelled is some kick ass stuff. I have never been into the ultrapussy gear scene. So many years getting soaked through all of my layers working construction I've never looked for stuff to keep me dry. This stuff seems like it would be great investment for anyone that needs it. I really like how the pants are designed to fit or stretch if needed. Keep up the awesome work. Grunt-Proof is definitely a level of testing I can trust.
Thanks dude!
Hey Randall, that's amazing how waterproof the jacket and pants are. Thanks for the review. My Gore-Tex rain jacket is starting to get old. I didn't wan't to spend a fortune on new rain gear. 👍
Thanks! I still have and use my DCU goretex, but it's nice to have a lighter alternative. I'd say their heavy WP100 would hold up just as well as the goretex
Solignac is awesome gear at an affordable price. Decathlon sell a massive range of kit, I have got some of the Quecha range from there. It's good too. Thanks for sharing this Randall, as ever fun to watch.
Yea they rock! Thanks man 👍🏻
always the best reviews and advice! thanks!
As a size 14 US those pants would suck. Calf zip dont cut it. UK mtp or black or Berghause make a full zip version. A tad more expensive but worth it I believe. If hiking rain stops it heats up but rain may come back, just unzip to mid thigh leave them on
Subscribed. Now to do some shopping to Canada.
Good stuff, brother. Will have to check them out.
Thanks! They are the first civ outdoor company that I really like
I use a US military surplus rain suit. It's great, tough, but is neither light nor compact to carry. For most hikers, the Solognac you showed here is probably better. ✌️
Seems i need to visit the Decathlon Store for some Solognac stuff soon. Luckily there is one in the next bigger city near where i live.
Finally, a hard-core rain suit test video, tired of these reviewers who hold their arm under a faucet for 5 seconds.
Just me but as for rain pants,,,, i need a full side zips.
Love Decathlon stuff... awesome that there is store near me (Canada()
Thanks for this test. I am heading to their new store today. They don't seem to carry their hunting line at the store but I could always order online.
Thanks. It depends on the store. My favorite store has all the Solognac gear
in the french alps 80 percent wears decathlon .Even mont blanc climbers.
Cool!
Hello Randall,
The endurance test in the car wash is awesome. You must have had a lot of fun doing it.
Do you know the US style poncho from HELIKON? Some RUclipsrs refer to it as a copy of the original US GI poncho.
What is usually given to soldiers in the US Army as housing? I mean, as with the Germans, it's the two-man tent (Dachshund garage), with the British it's BASHA, etc.
Maybe you can tell me something about it first hand :)
Ciao Torsten
Thanks. I've had people suggest them so I might pick one up and do a comparison video
@@GruntProof Good Idea! That would really interest me :)
Thanks!
Impressive!!
Messner is a big fan of Decathlon.
Those 2/3 belts are a problem when having the run, or typically the 50+ problem!
Have you tested the Steppe 900 pants from Salognac yet? The ones with ventilated zips.
Not yet. Hopefully I'll get a pair pretty soon
Solognac is a Decathlon (French) brand. However, having good products, they still selling in Russia, so...
Those jackets look awesome and I just found out that they are cheep as hell 15 EUR for the ligt one and 25 EUR for the heavier one in the UK. I'm sweating a lot when moving around and walking, are there any kind of breathability in the jackets?
Thanks for the video!
Honestly I've never seen a rain jacket be both breathable AND waterproof. I honestly believe that such a feature is impossible. So yea, these are just as warm as any other rain jacket I've played with.
How durable are these? Actually looking for a rain set for work. I work on the back of a trash / recycling truck.
The thicker 100 would be fine
And BTW, if I call something "Grunt Proof," it's definitely durable 😎
What is the name of the intro song?
Thanks man!! I’m a long range hunter and my load out several days a week all year long including my pack weight is around 55-60 pounds. Maybe not heavy for some. The problem I have is in no time my rain jackets seem to fail. I think the weight of the pack messes the seems up in the jackets and coats. The military gore-tex works but eventually the seems come apart from the membranes. Is there a good chance this brand of gear won’t be destroyed by my pack? I’d pay whatever it takes to find a rain jacket that will last at least a couple of years. Been waiting for someone to do a vid on this type of content. Any information would be appreciated!!!
Thank you! I'd recommend the heavier WP100 jacket, but if you want one even tougher, they have heavier jackets. And they're all 1/3 the price you'll pay on the big name brands. Click the link to the heavy jacket in the description, and go from there 👍
Absolute Veteran thanks fir replying , looking now.
Have you checked out beyond arc 2.0 rain jacket it is tough. Rip stop woven into their own 3layer proprietary goretex type material
@@nickpowell7432 thanks!! Checking it out.
What rain-gear spec is most important? Breathability. All rain-jackets are waterproof. Who cares how durable, they're all adequate. Where do rain-jackets fail? Breathability. It's 98% about breathability. And what's the breathability spec? g/m^2/24hr. What's best-in-class breathability? 75,000 [g/m^2/24hr] by Enlightened Equipment Visp. Second best? 56,000 [g/m^2/24hr] by Zpacks Vertice. What is Gore-Tex estimated (since they refuse to publish a spec? 30.000 [g/m^2/24hr]. What is the second most important rain-jacket spec? Weight. Third? How long; does the jacket extend below shorts (knee-length)?
Anyone not discussing these three specs, in that order, is a noob. With absolutely no grasp or expertise of any sort.
nothing is waterproof and breathable
@@GruntProof - Just listed the top-two that are breathable, along with the dozens of lesser-spec'd (but still somewhat breathable GoreTex jackets). Materials are key to breathability, but other features, such as pit-zips help further increase breathability. And as was pointed-out, anyone not understanding the importance of breathability and breathability-technologies, has no business reviewing rain-jackets, because they are unskilled and unqualified.
Never imagined you'd intentionally admit to being in that category?
I can’t find this jacket on Amazon do they sell it there? Thank you
I believe it's only on the Decathlon website
@@GruntProof I will go look. Thanks
Oh If it’s way too much money can you recommend another rain jacket there pretty much is rainproof thank you
I can’t seem to find the WP 100 could it be called something else on the website

@@GruntProof Hello and thank you for sending me the link I just cannot seem to open it it looks like it might be in German or another language can I ask if the jacket is it from another country
Can I ask how much it cost that will be a big factor for me thank you again for your help
