    Hunting/Farm wet weathers

    Heyo,

    Anyone have any experience with Bushbuck Defender range? The pants look pretty good for general farm/hunt wet weather.
    Have had a good experience with all my other Bushbuck gear but don't wanna shell out $$ on wet weathers for it to fail when shit hits the fan.
    Whats everyone rocking for wet weather kit?

    Cheers

    They are not a light weight legging or jacket. If you where light weight hunting wet weathers on a farm they don't last its to hard on them, they a designed for another job

    Betacraft iso 940 jacket and stoney creek force 18 leggings, leggings are really good with zips down the side of the shin and at the hips that make them way easier to get into although I've seen them fail. Both work well

    There is an outfit in Palmerston North that has a copy of Techniflex, that are quite cheap, used to get 3-4 seasons of rearing calves out of the leggings. Don't know if they are still on board, they advertised in farming mags.
