Stone Creek Bushshirt

[johnnytheboy]

I tentatively asked in another thread, but has anyone tried these, the price for me seems pretty good, I am allergic to wool so it rules me out for most good bush shirts. I noticed that its windproof. Stone creeks website is indicating showerproof, which would be a bonus, but its really as a mid layer for me!

Anyone used them, any reviews?

I dont know if you've seen my thread on BB about these, not really an indepth review as such. I've had mine a few days now and I'm really liking it, I have never owned either the Ridgeline or Swanndri shirts so don't have anything to compare the Stoney Creek too. For cold, drier days/nights I think the SC shirt will be ideal.

It's worth remembering with these though they are (as the OP stated) only rated as being showerproof and not waterproof like the Ridgeline and also the SC shirt being a fleece the normal caution around naked flame/fires applies.

I dont think its breathable, so you may end up sweating like a glass blowers bottom.

Whats BB? I'll have a look there! I'm not planning to be hiking up mountains so the sweat side of things isnt a problem!

It's not a shirt I'd be planning on going for a long day in the hills in mate that's for sure as it is on the heavy side, my main reason for buying was for wearing around a static camp in the evenings and for days in the cold when I'm not planning on going far.

And Johnny.
