Experiences with Rain Jacket Warranties

Bushwalking gear and paraphernalia. Electronic gadget topics (inc. GPS, PLB, chargers) belong in the 'Techno Babble' sub-forum.

TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

yes, it will take a long time to tackle the mind share factor. In the interests of doing my tiny little bit, I've changed the topic title to be fabric-neutral. :-)

Any of you guys know Wes Moule? If so he may be worth an opinion of (he tested our new harness system and also has been wearing one of our eVent jackets while hauling gear across Tassie for World expeditions)

Cheers Brett

Check out this old thread for some "traditional bushwalklers" starting the Overland Track in shorts in 1970 :lol:

I don't know STS's story..Unlikely they wouldn't have a Gore Licence just for the Gaiter business- maybe the gaiters are older stock/or made from left over fabric from when WE had a Gore license perhaps? I'm seeing Ron (STS GM) on Tuesday..must ask...But certainly the situation with garments is clear..
