[QUOTE="NZhunter, post: 179009, member: 7691"] [b]The jackets.[/b] The jackets are made by a company called Swazi. They make very good gear. The jacket in particular is the Tahr Anorak. Gore tex etc. I guess we never really realised we all had the same jacket till we looked at the photo's and said "Sh!t we look like a pack of knobs" but i guess really its a testiment to the quality of the gear. They retail at about $660 nzd, so are not cheap, but in mountains like these they could be the difference between death or survival. You could also note that all bar one of us are wearing Meindl Makalu Pro boot again retailing at around $700nzd. But as i always say "you can't put a price on your passion!!" I've actually just got back from a hunt last night, seeing 5 red deer. 2 hinds, one with fawn, a young stag and another older stag which we shot for meat. Im heading into the alps on the 26th of this month for 10 days hunting chamios and tahr so look out for the report in the new year. We will be hunting the open tops and camping at 1600m. Hopefully some longer range shots will be available!! [/QUOTE]
