    I do specials and freebies (maybe some on this Forum will like to back this up ???
    I can vouch for your generosity with freebies.

    I have some of the m tec gear, trying to get a bit more air movement. I have not tried in the field yet but seem like they will do the job. Sizing I found a bit smaller than our standard sizing here.

    Will report back once they get a workout.

    Sarvo does good gear at very reasonable prices.....sometimes unreasonably low prices.

    I have the Hoody, it is nearly ideal. The material is very thin and light and it has excellent wind protection so keeps you from overheating but also stops cold winds. The only improvement would be to open the front like a Swanny and have a lace closure Swanny style.

    EDIT: 2015 not 2020! Was going on when I last got my license renewed as got the shirt around the same time, then failed to do primary school maths. Also, I've got some of Sarvo's cold weather good and it's good.
    Im going to get it, and some other stuff on sale. Good excuse to put under the Christmas tree for myself

    Just to add a little to my comments re the camo Hoody, the material seems very tough and does not 'pill'. It is also quiet when scrub and small branches run across it. I am not a 'hoody' type person but have found that the hood does help camouflage the face, deer have stood and mucked around looking at me not able to make a proper ID

    Just had a look. Pretty good price but I do agree about the opening at the front.

    I find really lite weight marino good for summer hunting, no good for scrub bashing but really breathable and drys quick. Perfect for summer tops missions. I’ve had a first lite wick marino almost two years and it’s had a ton of use, just starting to wear out now.

    Yep another vote for firstlite merino i have 2 wick tee’s that are great in the summer days on the tops. I run hot and thought wool in summer would kill me but i was wrong its bloody awesome. Use there heavier weight merino tops in winter, awesome gear! But yes no good for bush bashing.

    @Sarvo me and the sun don't get along, and I overheat easily so keen to give one of your long sleeve shirts a go. I am usually a XXL, and don't like tight fit. Based on Stag's comment, what size would you recommend?

    Well - depends on the item
    Most if not all the Thermal need to be (what a term as) Condom fit to to work proper
    But if you want a summer item without its thermal wicking or insulation
    Prob better to just get cotton long sleeve
    I have plenty in the summer range bit not long sleeve apart from the item Moahunter refers too
