    Bush stalking top recommendations?

    What's your go to outer layer for Bush stalking?

    Typically wear a Swazi or hunters element etc long sleeve fleece when it's fine but not the best in damp bush and have a huntech soft shell anorak which is very waterproof and good in open country down south or when it's pissing down but quite loud for most of my North island bush stalking ...
    Anyone using the stoney creek Sika pullover or is there still life left in the likes of a good old swannie?
    Cheers

    I like long sleeve base layer and short sleeve gamegear fleece. Army woolley pulley if its cold or in the bag with a raincoat.
    Compression tights with shorts plus hunting trou if cold

    Love the H.E camo fleece but in damp steep bush you cant beat a traditional swanny with a knife belt around your guts and your tucker dropped down the front

    I use this, it's awesome. Infact I use it all year round in my kit as my mid layer. short sleeve merino under it and I'm away.

    I wear a black hawk military style body shirt, wicks sweat if and either a old swanni, arms cut off or mkm black shearer's short sleeve. Long sleeve merino, under that if real cold. I prefer wool. Hi viz over that if I'm feeling spooky about the area. Knife belt and stag bag with light rain shell. Swampy sounds like a good bit of kit to.be fair. Might have to look into that.
