Thread: Wear On Earth

I have owned the SC thermotough for a few weeks from new. Warm and wind proof while riding my SXS, appears partly water proof but haven't worked in full rain yet so don't mind the rain resistant tag. Big downside is that any physical work such as carrying a rifle along the river flats for 30 mins or lifting timber for more than 20 mins and you will get wet inside - the material does not breath at all when exerting some physical energy. In hindsight I brought the wrong jacket - it is really designed for been static/glassing the hill with minimum physical activity. Seems okay walking in town in the rain like last Sunday in Canterbury but as soon as you do a bit of physical work - kaput! I used a voucher to partly buy my one so paid $253.00. Think they go for about $430.00.
I did meet another hunter a week ago in the hills on his SXS wearing the same SC jacket - told me the same story - gets condensation inside the arms when moving about all zipped up. Maybe he is reading this thread too?
