A Fiordland Odyssey

May 10, 2018 2 Comments

Leading up to my trip to Fiordland this roar, I had been talking with the guys at Hunters Element HQ regarding the Odyssey Range of outer shell, waterproof gear. I had never been a huge wearer of pants when hunting, more from what I was brought up with rather than for any practical reason.

I took a transfer from work in June 2015 which brought me from Greymouth to New Plymouth. The work was an interesting change but I knew the hunting wasn't to be quite the same.

MEN'S PANTS & SHORTS

WAIST: Place the tape measure around your waist, just above where your pants would normally naturally rest. Don't pull the tape tight, but make sure it is snug. Align this measurement with the table below to help select your size.

INSEAM: This is the measurement from the center of the crotch on our pants, to the base of the inner leg.

Our over-trousers are designed to be worn over the top of your regular pants. The sizing is therefore larger than our regular pants.
