Swazi and Nomad

[DC .270]

Evening all,

Not wanting to recover old threads but I was wandering if any of you know where there's a sale on? Good looking stuff but I'll have to hold out for a sale first I think!

Got a mate coming over from NZ in a couple of months... I'm looking at you mereside... did you spot any good shops out there?

Thanks.

DC

dc the shops out there where the same sort of prices for shooting products although the swazi/swandri where more expensive i got lucky and baught a secondhand swanndri off fleabay and had it delivered to my nz address on arrival. the only thing i found cheaper was secondhand rifles,atb wayne

 

[mereside]

just to add i liked the ridgeline roar jacket i thaught that was great

 

[DC .270]

Thanks Wayne. I'm still jealous about your trip!

I've considered the roar jacket previously but have never seen one - they look good in all te reviews, the only thing i'm not sure of is the fabric, I've heard that it is not the quietest. Might be worth a punt though.

Thanks,

Dave

hi, noit a little distance from your self but highland industrial supplys in inverness were moving a lot of nomad stuff fairly cheap , you could wait till westen park the wee man will be there he will give you a deal regards willie/

Nomad stuff... good but very warm ...Ridgeline.... good but a tad noisy.......Swazi...over priced......if you can find one...the seeland stalker jacket is good!!
I have 2 of the Beretta dwp goretex jackets.....and all i can say is..The dogs goolies!!...but at £250 they aint cheap, but worth it it my book.

Interesting stuff Steve - I haven't seen anything of Beretta clothing for a while. I may have a look.

Willie... I've managed (somehow) to have never called into the HIS on my many visits up north. That may be about to change if I don't get sortef before I set off!

Thanks guys.

Dave

 

[monarman]

What size are you Dave?...... i ask because one of the beretta coats is a tad big for me...in a large...and therefore would be for sale if anyone's interested...... the medium fits me better (lost half astone these past few months)

steve

 

[DC .270]

That's a sign of working too hard! You must've got fixed up with the Ghillie position?

I'm a medium too (almost unfortunatley). I'll consider a pie based diet for a month or so.

Thanks for the offer though.

Dave

 

[monarman]

No position as yet unfortunately......
But hard graft and stress soon shift some timber eh!!

It's a 42 chest... i'm a 40 and don't likewearing layers underneath.....just a good old helly hansen t'shirt!...hence why it's a tad big.
Get eating them pies and you'll get a bargain!..hehehe.

Dave speak to york guns they may be able to do you a bit of discount on the nomad stuff I know i got some It was a big decision for me costing over a weeks wages but I stand by it. I have been out in some torrential rain with a monster gale and all others present (in schoffel musto and the like) soaked right through and I was dry as a bone in it. They do get a little hot with a bit of exertion but I still rate it.

George..... i have some nomad trousers going free to a good home if you're no more than a 32" waist...... too hot for me!!... and i prefer wearing plus fours!

I'm at selby... so not far. pm me if they're any good to you.

steve

 

[DC .270]

What are the strides like?

 

[monarman]

Warm!!!!........ and i wear plus fours!!

The nomad gear also holds water.....so can get heavier as it gets wetter.

Rivers West smock

Field Pro Smock

Bought a ranger jacket last year at cla and been very impressed.

I imported a Swazi jacket from NZ and it wasnt cheap.I have had it for 6 months and it leaks like crazy on the arms.It has had one very easy season at the hinds, and I certainly will not be getting another. I would send it back if I had got it in this country.
So i would reccomend you buy from a dealer who it is easy to return faulty goods to.

That is interesting to hear. My main motivation for getting one sorted soon is that a friend of mine is coming back from nz in august and I was considering asking him to bring one for me. This is the first mention of poor quality I have heard about Swazi. Thank you for posting.
