I've been using my Kestrel trousers and smock for over a year now - predominantly for archery and open canoeing.

Absolutely brilliant..!!

For archery the lack of front buttons etc on the smock means nothing for the string to catch. Colours are ok for GNAS tournement too. The trousers are great, rain or shine, without the annoying clammy feeling of normal waterproofs when (and if) the sun shows itself.

Canoeing whilst kneeling all the time, the articulated arms of the smock make paddling comfortable and snug, with the trousers roomy enough not to pinch or feel tight whilst kneeling. Smock and trousers have been tested to the limit with regular use and two extended Loch Lomond wild camping trips - both with bad weather. No worries with fire sparks as there would be with Gortex or similar.

With all the use they still look as-good-as-new!
