Morning all,
I have been looking at a possible alternative to my old Swazi Tahr and have found one or two similar products which could be in the running.
I wonder if any fellow forum members have experience of these and Id appreciate any input you may have both good and bad
First up is the Stoney Creek Sika Top:
http://www.stoneycreekshop.com.au/Sika-Top-p-16-20-1000.html
I really like this design (windproof silent series) and as itll be used for stalking and general out and about activities, I prefer the quiet/breathable material as sometimes I boil in the bag when using goretex
The one and only thing I missed on the Tahr was not having hand warmer type pockets in a conventional place? Granted they are only used if Im not belly crawling but this one is possibly top of my list.
Id love to here of anyones experience especially how the garments are cut with regards to being close fitting or looser for their respective sizes.

Second up is the Ridgeline Monsoon:

http://www.guncity.co.nz/ridgeline-monsoon-performance-jacket-teak-3-layer-xidp227638.html
I really have little info on these so if anyone from NZ is more familiar Id like to hear their opinions on these garments as another possible alternative? They seem keenly priced even considering import duties too?
Thanks for reading!!
Cheers all
