Tussock by a country mile - fantastic neutral natural shade, sits well in many environments, with no military overtone too - a sort of olive / coyote tan mix

Definitely Tussock. Although...the new Tussock of the AEGIS fabric is more like a regular tan - less of the very classy green/grey/brown of the old Gore Tex Tussock. Still nice 'though. I have the Tahr XP and it is superb, with brilliant pockets and new style cuffs which mean you never get chilled wrists. The AEGIS fabric breathes very well and is thicker and tougher than the old Gore Tex. Import from NZ was a doddle.

Tussock. Have a Wapiti in tussock and it is very practical for hunting and looks very neutral when not hunting. If that makes sense?

Ordered an XP in Tussock direct from Swazi. £292 inc delivery. Got the invoice this morning from Parcelforce for Customs Duty and Import Tax, £35. Delivery expected sometime tomorrow :)

They tried delivering it this morning while i was at work and left it at my local post office. Picked it up this afternoon. Very pleased with the build quality and feel of the material, as long as it breathes better than the Ridgeline Monsoon II (breath-ability of a bin bag IMO) i'll be a very happy customer.
I think i could have got away with a XL but at least the XXL leaves plenty of room for extra layers underneath.

It's massively more breathable than the Ridgeline. I couldn't quite believe it for such a heavy fabric, but I have yet to get sweaty in mine.

How long before you start hankering for a Tussock Wapiti....?

Used it in anger last week filming a commercial for Audi in The Lakes and in Manchester City centre. Hours of rain and some hard work, built up quite a sweat and at one point felt quite wet and clammy, but where the Ridgeline would've made me feel cold and kept me wet underneath, the Tahr evaporated the moisture at an impressive rate and i felt warmer and drier whilst still in the rain than anything else i've worn under similiar conditions.
To say i'm impressed is an understatement.

Not sure about the Wapiti, i love smocks :)
