Nope, not with staff. I used to be staff 3 yrs ago.

aha I see...yip that'll do it

Swazi, Icebreaker & Kuiu if you're after quality proven products.

I do use alot of Military equipment mainly because a mate of mine (ex Brit military) likes to trade his gear for wild game. I swapped a leg of pork for a new Brit military fly tarp the other night, must say it is far superior to my Huntech fly I usually use.

Ive got some Kuiu stuff coming in the post as we speak. If it lives half up to the hype ill be a happy man

Kuiu does have a good line of gear that functions as described. It fits with what I consider a more kiwi style of functionality plus so far is quite hard wearing.
Only one gripe is the stupid FB post I got from a combined Kuiu and Talley scope rings telling me how great it was they were supporting Donald Trump. Made me sad/mad.

Yep. One of the many 'promises' trump has made is to keep public land in public hands, so alot of the hunting fraternity are keen on him. It might be one of the few things he will remember saying as his sons are both keen hunters.
Its a crazy world we live in when that maniac has a real shot at being president.

I could use cotton shirts and shorts etc like I used to. I could also drive there in an austin A40 devon like I used to. But there are far better/more comfortable options these days. Im sure it wont make difference to my success rate but to quote Jeremy Clarkson" money might not buy you happiness but its better crying in a Range Rover"

i use army surplus gear it lasts a long time

+1 for army surplus, kiwi disposals is where I have got a bit of gear in the past. Tends to a bit on the heavy side but I feel its guna last better than something light and flimsy.

Did just pick up 2short sleeve blue blaze fleece tops for $60 at the big red shed though...

wait for sales or 2nd hand stuff, buy gear when its out of season or season promos etc.

try not to pay full retail when I can

Agree with this Macpac and Kathmandu clearance stuff good value.
If you a buying sizes other than M,L or XL you do real well.
Their merino stuff pretty good and when you start poking holes in them better than bigger dollar icebreaker gear.
Swazi stuff good too, join as a Clan member and keep an eye on specials as well.
It is a bit pricier but is worth it in my opinion.

Kuiu Gear turned up yesterday. Like the look of it, got a couple of their fancy synthetic base layers and a soft shell. Will give it a run next week, but seems very well made. Not a stitch out of place.
Wish they would bring some stock in though, very nearly got stung by customs, and this wasn't a big order at all.

To quote the great @1toeknee1

"Money is no obstacle for hobbies."

I have some pretty alright kit, but still just wear merino longs with shorts overtop and thermal long sleeve with fleece t shirt. Comfortable and fast drying.

Actually go for good quality socks, don't go cheapskate there
