Hi Guys,
I need a new jacket for Bushcraft. I've been cosidering the Swandri Mosgiel but as no shops around here sell them I cannot get to have a look at one before buying. How do you guys rate them? I know I'll need a waterproof layer as well as this jacket but what else can you tell me about them. I've also got a few questions below that I'd be real pleased if anyone could answer for me.
1) Are they tough and will it wear well with hard use?
2) How many pockets do they have and are they a decent size?
3) Is it worth spending a little extra on the Xtreme version?
4) How good is the hood, does it flop over your eyes or is it too small?
5) Can you just chuck it in the washing machine or does it need special treatment?
Also can anyone give me any other options for a jacket which will keep me warm and be impervious to the odd spark from the fire? Oooh and hopefully cheaper.
Cheers,
Tony
