Thread: Swazi Kagoule & Rifleman Jacket Reviews

Doesn't stop me sweating on the uphill but wicks away with a quality thermal and I don't get cold.

Yep I am the same. I would wear 2 layers underneath the Kagoule or Rifleman at a maximum. If I'm climbing I start cooking, I zip the jacket down as far as it goes which helps with breathability etc.

When I stop to glass is when I quickly add the extra layer (or puffer if it's in my day bag)

Another point I forgot to mention. I love the idea of supporting NZ Made products, makes me feel good about the purchase.
