Bosun11 537 Posted July 6, 2019 Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 Was thinking about an old mate, now passed, the other day and that he hunted all his life, yet i never seen him wearing hunting or walking gear. He just used general gear... Now TBH i buy a lot of gear with hunting in mind and almost all my coats and jackets get a general use before spending the rest of thier days in the field. Which lead me to wondering, if you have any none hunting (walking/outdoor) gear that you use in the field. Have you got any none hunting kit you prefer over hunting kit...?? Quote Link to post
shovel leaner 7,650 Posted July 7, 2019 Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 (edited) Yes I have , when the weather is dry and warm , I wear a pair of Nike trainers. Light , breathable, and comfortable and surprisingly hard wearing. This is this pairs second summer. Nike are the best trainers I’ve worn in the field . I also swear by Carharrt double front logger jeans in moss colour.... indestructible. Edited July 7, 2019 by shovel leaner 3 1 Quote Link to post

Born Hunter 17,751 Posted August 12, 2019 Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 Anybody used KUHL Clothing? Looks hard wearing and well fitting stuff. I tried on a pair of their Rydr trousers yesterday and they fit lovely! I might buy a couple pairs as a general purpose bottom. Quote Link to post

mushroom 12,871 Posted September 3, 2019 Report Share Posted September 3, 2019 I like to mooch in my Stone Island gear... never know when I'll bump into a Rovers fan I've never gone into nature with the wrong clothes. A pair of trainers may work in certain conditions but you can forget it, if the going gets a bit rougher Best pants I ever had were Craghopper mountain pants, silent as you need and bloody indestructible, even with brambles. Best coat, always a wax for me. Ski jackets also work but more for hiking than hunting. Have to say Bosun, I'm the same when buying clothes. I always think about the after life and how they'll fit in. 1 Quote Link to post
