    I have had the Stowit, Halo & Stowit pro. I like the Stowit Pro best. I didn’t like the halo as it is quite a narrow fit and I am not a big guy.

    Swazi Rifleman. Can't fault it. Lightweight. Compact. Quality NZ Made. Use it bush hunting, will soak through after a couple of hours in wet bush as will any lightweight jacket. Goes in the pack for bush and tops work. Ideal.
