Thread: Ready to go

It was a genuine question at the start but you seem to have taken it sideways .... Take it as you will...

As for an opinion
With NZ weather I don't think your dressing choice has too much use so the looks my be swaying your decision more than anything.
5 minutes it rains, 10 minutes its boiling hot. Waterproofs will make you sweat, anything else you'll get socked in it from the rain, so you screwed both ways. The way I see it, wearing less is the best, anything that dries fast. Looks for hunting don't matter, Trials jeans do the job really.

At the end whatever floats your boat Brian.

I don't believe you but that doesn't matter !!! Just enjoy yourself Petros in what ever you do and don't knock others for doing so as-well --no offense taken and enjoy your weekend in Northland

What are trials jeans? If they are denim then they are in fact the worst thing you can wear here for hunting.

jeans do our trial sport no favors in the eyes of others.Imagine the hunt if they didnt turn up in Red and Black coats but jeans --I dont think many would bother to follow it as the whole tradtion would be ruined . Traditions ,maybe one appreciates them more as one gets a little older ..doesnt one lol

In the eyes of who Brian?? In recent pics iv seen most are wearing jeans, shorts or fleece hunting pants. As for the tradition of the "hunt" , we dont have foxes so its not traditional at all.

In the eyes of new people that may want to take on a sport with a little difference in dress code also -just my personal thoughts .As for the hunt tradition -1886 Timaru says differently
