Thread: Long cut light weight rain jacket

Last jacket I had was a long cut stony creek creekcrosser (now unavailable). I'd like a jacket that covers your arse when sitting. Hunters element do a halo, storm, and summit all for similar coin. The first two have a 25k suchnsuch rating the summit is only 6k rating yet it was $300 (currently on sale 1/2 price $150) way more expensive than the halo or storm. Is the Summit a longer and potentially better coat?Are there other lightweight full length coats I should look at?

swazi ultralight series expensive yes but you get what you pay for the best

Military surplus jobbie far better value for your dollars.

As much as it pains to say- Barry is right, the Swazi Ultralite range has the cut you're after and pretty damn good stats, 20K for the Tahr Ultralite and Sentinel. My understanding is the higher the number, the better waterproofness and breathability that jacket has

another plus for Swazi is the warranty if it does have a problem or you tear a hole send it to Swazi fixed now try that with the cheap brands sold at certain chain hunting stores

Yep Swazi Tahr ultralight, if you are a NZDA member you get 20% off, I have the current "normal" Tahr anorak which i absolutely love but might get one of these as well as its half the weight
