Do you mean the Tarn Alpine? What is durability like?

yip , shes also called the Tarn , Mines been to Fiordland twice already , It would be the hardest wearing jacket i've tested , While its not as compact as the 3/4 zip jackets out there i prefer not to have to pull a wet jacket over my head.
For the ones that say it will be too noisey walking through the bush , its not , and i find when its wet the bush is noisey anyway .
Products i have tested in Fiordlad , Hunters Element XLR , Huntlite , Swari Tahr . Still go back to my Tarn for a bullet proof jacket. Might try Rob's new XLR Extreme this Roar for a compact overnight flycamping jacket

Thanks. I currently have a Macpac jacket so I don't really care about the noise...If its wet enough to be wearing a jacket in the bush I must be doing something wrong
