How was your service ? similar to mine so far ?

yep easy as

Glad it worked out for you! ;-)

It's arrived But too fecking hot to wear it today . Very pleased with it , will be a valuable asset to my hunting pack . highly recommend this company . For a product you can see being made in front of you , not Shanghai ! Very good value for money

Yep very good jackets, no issues. They are big tho, not like a typical puffer that can pack down to nothing but then they are a lot stronger than a normal puffer

An interesting point, guess the heavy duty fabric has its trade off's as well as weight

Apparently he can make the jackets with a lighter material to make it more compactable. I'm heading to CHCH next Thursday, might get fitted up. @PerazziSC3

I want it to be practical to take on 4/5 day biv hunts

+1 for wear on earth. Stoked with mine, my ice and long, gave them my measurements and it came back bang on

Nice and long.... Damn drunk typing. Went for a vest wih collar no hood, impressed wih how small it packs down. Really toasty round a cold hut or running to the long drop!

I just ordered mine today @223nut @Munsey. He has a version which can compact into one of the pockets. Got the 2 tone hooded version, I've had a heavier waterproof fabric made for the hood and shoulders/sleeves, the body is a lighter fabric.

Did you guys know he supplies the jackets for the NZ Army? I went to the workshop and got the tour, he's in the process of upgrading his premises.

No I didn't. Wanting to go into his shop at some point. Love the fact that you can personalise it to your needs. I do notice I don't have sleeves on in when cold but hate them when inside a hut cooking, (feel like Michigan man) I'm sure you will b happy with it

Wear on Earth make some seriously top quality product.

This is what they look like @Tikka7mm08

Great...not as puffy as I thought. I have the Swazi Merino one and too puffy, but not as bad as the cheaper Macpacs and Kathmandhus. I have the Macpac Supanova and it is fantastic.

Wear on Earth make the Cactus Puffers for them. I had one made a while ago and love it. He made the outer out of a more durable and water proof material that he says is far better than the cactus fabric.
