Another of my favourite fleece shirts is one I got from Cabelas some years back. It combines fleece with a windstopper membrane, so it is not as quiet as a pure fleece shirt. But it is a godsend when the wind is up, and I usually wear it under some outer layers, so noise is not so much of an issue.

Hey Mike, is the shirt you have the same one in the link I posted?......DJ

DJ, no, it looks different (not so heavy, maybe - hard to say from the pics?), but I'm sure the idea is pretty much the same. I got mine some 10 years (or so?) ago, so little wonder if the models have changed since then.

Pete, I agree with you about Cabelas and shipping charges outside North America. A bit of a rip-off. Pity that, they have an incredible selection. But surely, with your connections (from AR and elsewhere), you could have a kind US soul receive and turn around a package for you...

I have found some Swazi stuff that looks quite interesting and have ordered a couple of shirts from them. if they are a success, I may even try some fleece trousers instead of old lightweights for my summer stalking..




Pete, I have been very happy with my Swazi gear. Good stuff.

Swazi likes to promote fleece pants with a liner on the backside - says it stops you from getting a wet a*** when you happen to sit down in a puddle - or something. They do indeed work as advertized, your behind stays dry. But given another chance, I would not buy that particular model for hunting - bum protection is simply too noisy. Just thought I'd mention it, in case you wanted to try out a pair.

I can wholeheartedly recommend Swazi. I have a number of their things. I really like the micro tops. I also have:

the Wapiti Coat. (totally rain proof but a wee bit noisy).

Chamois Coat.(The ultimate hunting jacket for chilly and cold with up to a down pour of rain repellant)

The Wind Cheatah (a great shirt to wear under or for cool days)

and a couple of the pro hunter shirts. (my favorite casual shirt)

Sorry this is a bit late but I purchased some Swazi shirts just before you started this thread and I didn`t want to comment until I`d properly field tested them

The outcome is that I`ve never taken them off.The heavyweight shirts are warm enough to wear without a coat and wash extremely well.

Certainly the best value for money I`ve seen

Yeah, Swazi is good stuff. I just adore my fleece undershirts with a zip turtle. The cat's meow!

Guys.... his Svazi stuff, is it EU made or from overseas ???
Sombody got a link ?

I´m always looking around for light, warm garments as I´m one of the guys who always get frosty sitting there waiting for the stag to materialise in the dusk.

Gents,

On the strength of the various recommendations from here, I ordered two Pro-Hunter Shirts from Swazi and I am really impressed with them..They are quite a bit thicker than Britishmade fleece shirt I already had and they seem to wash really well too.

I ordered mine from: http://www.outdoorsupplies.co.nz/swazi2.htm#tops about 10 days before Christmas and they arrived on Christmas Eve which I thought was very good all things considered...Next on the list will be some windproof fleece trousers..

Regards,

Pete
