Rainwear Hydrotough Fabric - Combines breathability, durability and keeps you dry.

Full protection from wind and rain is achieved by using a seam sealed, technical three layer fabric. The inner laminate is tested waterproof to over 10,000mm, yet is still highly breathable with an MVT of 2000g/sqm/24hrs for reducing heat build up and sweat. You can comfortably hunt in wet weather without making that scratching noise when stalking through scrub because of the silent, tough, brushed outer fabric. The soft nylon mesh inside layer has a special anitmicrobial treatment built in which inhibits the growth of bacteria, reducing damage to the waterproof laminate and seam sealing tape.

Windproof Silent Series - Dry and Warm

High exertion activities, like hunting, can cause you to overheat when you're wearing the more traditonal three-layer fabrics. That's because the fabric can't keep up with the removal of any excess heat and moisture you are generating. The unique fabric construction of Silent Series is more open allowing it to breathe much more freely and works constantly to disperse this heat build-up keeping you drier from persperation. The face fabric is made from genuine Microtough saturated with Teflon DWR to help it shed water and resist dirt and stains. The inside layer is a specially constructed Microfibre that draws moisture away from your body.

The really technical part is a layer made up of thousands of tiny dots sandwiched in the middle, designed to break the surface tension of any water droplets that may penetrate into the fabric itself. The body heat you generate speeds up the process of moving the moisture to the outside and also prevents water from coming in, this is why Silent Series garments are best worn when you are actively hunting rather than static. The more active you are while wearing Silent Series in wet conditions the drier you will stay.

Silent Series Lightweight - An even flow of body heat and moisture.

A lighter Microtough face fabric with the same special laminate designed to break the surface tension of water droplets. The uniquely brushed Microfleece inner fabric actively moves moisture outwards. If you are an active hunter and don't like heavier three-layer waterproof fabrics because you overheat wearing them, then Silent Series Lightweight will be perfect for you. Saturated with water repellent Teflon, it not only resists dirt and blood but helps it shed water and dry faster. It won't deal with as much rain as Windproof Silent Series will, but is perfect when the weather is a bit warmer. Best of all, it's absolutely silent to stalk in, is light weight, softens up with every wash and still cuts out a good bit of wind to boot.

Microtough - Quick Drying and Easy Care

Developed specifically to be lightweight and strong Microtough is made from a true 100% polyetser, bi-polar micro-yarn. The wind resistant outer face has the latests Teflon treatment to reduce drying times and improve water resistance that won't wash out. The inside of the fabric is woven down flat using a special technique which keeps you cooler in warm weather and improves overall fit and comfort. Microtough is tough enough not to tear in the thickest scrub and best of all catches a heap less hook grass or burrs than standard fleeces.

Airmesh - Keep Cool

Airmesh is constructed with a uniquely woven yarn with hundreds of small holes cut in it. These holes let the cool air from outside pass through and the moisture and body heat to exit. Airmesh is a tough fabric and will take a thrashing.

The Diamond Airmesh has larger holes for better air circulation and wicking so good for cooling.

Airmesh and Microtough combo, Stoney Creek's exclusive Diamond Airmesh in high heat areas allows air to flow through the shirt keeping you cooler. Genuine Microtough fabric is lightweight and extra strong. The tightly woven face is resistant to hook grass. Microtough sheds water and dries quickly.

Powder Dry - Generation 3

Comfort in the heat and warmer in cooler climates. We don't use cheap chemical wicking which washes away quickly rather natural built in wicking fibres take care of your sweat. Silver fibres knitted into the polyester act as a natural antimicrobial eliminating odours. Durable and pill resistant. In winter they are better than most wool products for hunters as moisture is not retained, reducing chilling and increasing thermal insulation.

Microplus

Using a densley woven, lightweight, micro denier yarn, Microplus has a very high warmth to weight ratio without the usual bulk of traditonal fleeces. Holding less than 1% of it's weight in moisture so it dries quickly and the non-pilling fabric keeps its insulating abilities even after repeated washing and use. This is the ultimate fabric for a lightweight insulation layer in changeable weather extremes, as a next-to-skin layer in cooler weather or worn on it's own in warmer weather.

Fusion Thermal

New Zealand grown Merino matched with a high performance polyester/ Merino blend. Using body mapping we have placed fabrics in targeted areas to give the best performance, combining warmth and anti-odour coupled with moisture wicking and fast drying times. The Fusion Thermal has Merino through the areas that need warmth - the chest and arms. Polyester features under the pits, bottom of the arms, forearms and down the back to wick away sweat.The Fusion Thermal takes you through the temperatures and activities of the day, working with your body. Wear it on it's own or as a base layer.
