I received a "top to toe" pack for my 40th birthday and was wondering if you fellas overseas have this great concept? a 1 polarfleece beenie hat 2 a long sleeved fleece top 3 a fleece tee shirt 4 dryseat fleece pants 5 a pair of socks. all in NZ fern pattern camo. the basic idea has different versions but the items are pretty much the same lineup eg all you would wear for a day out with maybe a coat added. retailing for $99 - $200 NZ this is plurry good value and a great way to get your kit for minimal outlay.
we can get them in different camo patterns or plain dark olive, a kids pack with school sized back pack and binos and a womens pack with red fleece tops being cut for her figure very attractive they look too.
If you havent got them locally let me know and I will find a web address for you to look into it.

Be interesting to have a look at the website mate.

Cheers, Vince

the best part is you can get different weights of fleece too the heavy is great in winter and the microfleece pack I got is just the ducks nuts for me as I get hot easy and its lighter fabric suits me just fine.

Elvis,
I have a ridgeline camo and "normal" set of these and a sniper camo waterproof jacket.
The "normal " are good at motorcycle rallys behing Canberra in winter and also did a good job when I was a shivering mess after chemotherapy.
The camo set worked well last year, but as the weather was so miserable the deer decided to have the weekend off, I was warm though.
That fleece T shirt is the greatest invention for motorcycling since corners.
Good stuff at a reasonable price.

yeah those tees are great. I also have the super lightweight shirts they make with wee holes all through it for in the summer time. I live in those two shirts and the wife has trouble getting them off to go in the wash.

I won a' Hunters Pack' in a raffle.
Think it contained a beannie, long pants, shirt and Jacket.
All winter stuff which is coming in handy now

Elvis, did you check the african and the UK-link?

thats the distributor as per the side of the box.
the ridgeline adress should get you a look at thier goods our internet connection is that plurry slow its not worth even trying to look at anything as it takes forever to get anything to load.

Elvis your sayings are entertaining M8.

And just who are ya hiding from...??

I too can vouch for this gear, Im a fully stocked Polar Fleece hunter but my branding probably goes mainly to "Ridge line" because I can't afford Swazi which is the best in the world Period! Made here in NZ.
My Ridgeline anorak is 100% waterproof in torrential rain for hours on end.
As Elvis says - the ducks nuts....
