Cheers mate, will range south too. If I'm up north it'll be with my cousins who love the rough stuff so I'll let them lead the way. I am in a similar boat as I'm in the South Island a fair bit and would like to get out there too. Versatility is good.

Delta look pretty attractive for the price point but can't seem to find anywhere that stocks them for a looksie. Will have to ask around and see if anyone has a pair. Geco are also GPO? Will look into those
