I must have been staying in Scotland for too long and become too tight :) lol<br />But I like the design and style, they quite similar to NZ bush shirts plus the convenience of a zipper. Hard to find even s/h for sensible money. <br />Good review SBW, let us know if it's usable in warmer weather.<br /><br />RoeStalker<br />RoeStalkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15716927259186621358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8825273392145948457.post-62479743708726203502014-03-10T06:41:43.967+00:002014-03-10T06:41:43.967+00:00RoeStalker

On the other side, its really really good at warm, dry, and quiet. As you know there are a couple of Scandinavian brands that also have a very good reputation, but are even more money. <br /><br />I wear the breeks too and they have been really great, they've totally changed my prejudice against waterproof trousers. <br /><br />Some people I actually know - unlike 'wilf' above - have had theirs for years and years of hard use and they are still going strong. <br />SBW<br /> The Suburban Bushwackerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09372690405902840131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8825273392145948457.post-32653897931636757342014-03-09T18:02:29.016+00:002014-03-09T18:02:29.016+00:00It is awfully expensive for a fleece with pockets?...It is awfully expensive for a fleece with pockets?

Joder!"<br /><br />I agree Joder. Bloody awful! They all look like under nourished stick insects. Not an ounce of meat on any of them. One strong wind and they would snap in half. Osteoporosis here we come!<br /><br />I have been wearing Nomad kit for years. Great when using the quad or when having to crawl thru wet heather and grass when trying to put a beast in the bag. Brought my first smock when I bumped into Phil whilst shopping in Crockhart of Blairgowrie nearly 20 years ago. Never felt the need for pit zips or bino pockets. Never used those belt loops either.<br /><br />Atb <br />Wilf Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
