My current choices in Hunting Clothing

Oh, man. Technical clothing. I have been through a bit of it, read a lot more on it, and there is always more to test. However, I suppose, it would make sense for me to start a little with my experience with some New Zealand brands, their failings, their strengths and the future.

Hi Kerry. I’m looking to update my hunting clothing as it is about 15 years old. Looking at getting some trousers and a shirt. Previously have gone with Stoney Creek and had no problems. So my go to would be that. However, there are quite a few more brands on the market these days. For example, Hunters Element. I had a look at their site and all looked good – but then read some not so good reviews – but they were from 2017 so things may have changed since then. Cheers

The never-ending quest…

Back then, which was not long ago, the New Zealand market seemed to primarily have different flavours of fleece clothing. A lot of it still is. Many Kiwi hunters seem to be content with the material and loose fit of boxy designs. I skipped the generation of Swanni’s and wool, which is ironic, considering the direction I am heading toward.

Like many, I also went through the shorts and thermals stage – with gaiters. But by the time you got that all on, you were pretty close to wearing trousers. However, bush hunters tend to cross streams quite a bit – so that system worked well in many areas. However, I always preferred trousers and found myself leaning towards them. This has also been a predominant trend among others in the last few years.

Don't worry - there is plenty more to read.
