I agree Kuiu is pumped up by marketing, I still rate a lot of the products.

The majority of the gear I am using is made in NZ/USA.. I am working towards kitting myself entirely with ethically / less mass produced clothing & equipment. It isn't easy!

I that sold the Kuiu jacket that you mentioned. It has been replaced with these Swazi jackets. @Sarvo

Anyway, this thread is about NZ Made Swazi gear

Yes sorry for diverting off topic
Habit of mine

I want to find a line/product that suits me - thus far - I have/cannot
The best I ever had was an oilskin Swandri replica (exact same cut as the original Swannie lace up)
But - I was then 30 years younger and prob did not notice what I notice now - if you get my drift :-)

I will try the Kuiu and might try latest Swazi lightweght (prob get direct off D Hughs down road from my best mate in Kuku East Road )

Cheers
