Stoney Creek - any good ???

[Shewie]

My bro`s over in New Zealand at the moment and I asked him to check out the Swazi Tahr prices to see how they compare to over here. A guy in one of the shops recommended Stoney Creek coats to him as an alternative.

Anybody ever heard of them or even better got one ???

Hi Shewie, I have a Stoney Creek Long bushshirt in their 'rainwear hydrotough material',the styling is very similar to a Swazi Tahr(but half the price )Worn it all day in heavy rain and kept me completely dry.Also have a Sika top for myself and wife,which is a windproof fleece similar in style to a Swazi Tahr and is my favourite jacket to wear when its dry.Bought all three of them from www.bushwear.co.uk,but don't think they do them anymore,which is a shame as they are excellent kit.

Cheers Pokem

You describe it as fleece, does that mean it`s not very fire friendly ??

I live in new zealand and most of the stoney creek stuff is microfiber which is highly flammable.
I use hunting and fishing or ridgeline clothes whic hare made from the same stuff but is a HELL of alot cheaper.
My mate and i were out stalking and we had a fire going by our camp he was wearing stoney creek gear and some ash came of the fire and melted some of his top

hope this helps
all the best
