The jacket also has a Recco tag in it, which is a nice extra little safety feature.

I agree that the pants would be no good for stalking as they're quite loud.

Disclaimer, I don't have much hunting experience so can't really compare them to other hunting gear. But at the price they were with 60% and another 25% off after that with discount code, I couldn't pass it up for my first proper hunting clothing buy. I wear the pants for everyday use too, VERY comfortable!

I rate the jacket too, Used it at taupo for a motorsports event and it keeped me nice dry and warm all day.

I met Fitzy on a long range shooting course. I was impressed by his commitment to bringing quality outdoor gear to NZ. His background is military and he's also a hunter so he knows what works and what doesn't. All the guys I know, using his kit, rate it highly.

I tested the gear over the last couple of days in some pretty horrific weather. I had constant rain, hail, sleet and snow over two days in South Otago. I can happily report that the jacket kept me completely dry. The pants were similar until I sat stationary in the rain for half an hour watching the handsome guy below(private land and the farmer only wanted hinds shot). They wetted out pretty quickly, but only started letting water through after about 20 mins. This was after about 6 hours hunting in the aforementioned horrific weather.
I highly recommend them!

I have a couple bits and pieces of warfighter, have to say I don’t use them for hunting. After a days sweating in them, they stink. I run Kuiu gear as it has an anti microbial content to the fabric, so even after a week long backpack hunt the gear barely smells. Other than that, the quality and cut of warfighter seems right up there with the best

dammit, sold out of my size. how often do they have sales?

From what I've seen WA is kinda like Briscoes with the sales, It's great gear imo. I have a bunch of it now from socks to jackets to training gear. good guy too.

There's a sale on now.

Identify your target beyond all doubt because you never miss (right?) and I'll be missed.

Be careful about giving them your email, they send some BS email every few days.
