Highland atire (who rates what)

[Water Badger 26]

Would aprecieate any feedback frome people that have tested gear in the highland enviroment,Need to gear up for my highland stalking, with my lowland stalking I am happy with my Swazi smock over natural layers that don’t sweat (having got rid of the rivers west gear)

 

So when out on the hill crawling for god knows how long through heather peat bogs up and down gullies what do you wear?

 

Jackets trousers under layers?

 

And when walking up and down the steep hill faces crossing burns and maybe some more crawling what’s your footwear choice

 

Boots?

And in summer, leave the string vest and kilt at home

I wear a good waterproof cammo jacket, shirt underneath. Tweed breeks. Gators and boots. Tweed hat. If not too wet, tweed jacket instead of waterproof.

A set of decent tweeds, they've worn them for ever up here so don't think they'll be wrong:-)

[Bobba_fett 117]

aye best thing about tweeds is, even if they get wet they still keep you warm.

Nice one gone to earth was hoping somone would mention Nomad uk he knows his stuff spoke to him for ages he even talked through which estates I was planning to stalk as he knows the heather and rock patterns and which of his garments will blend best I am meeting him at wishire game fair

 

Hamster how long you had it ?

[Grousekeeper84 2]

Your swazi will be a good jacket with a good pair of tweeds, gaitors and i cant see past meindl boots. If its going to be wet (its scotland its more than likely!) take a look at the waterproof mock tweeds by nomad or musto to keep you dry on any long crawls.
