    The Tāpua Elite Bush Coat is Owen's signature garment with his favourite Veil & Fire camo combo. The Tāpua Elite retains everything that made the original special and has been improved in key areas to make it 10% lighter and more packable, 30% more breathable and faster drying, and better for the environment by making the fabric out of recycled plastic bottles.

    New front fabric has been added for increased temperature regulation. HYDRAFUSE™ HYBRIDTECH™ fabric (made from recycled polyester) expels heat and wicks moisture in a high sweat area. This increases comfort by regulating your body temperature and keeps you dry from the inside.

    The shoulder fabric has a highly durable fleece outer with our HYDRAFUSE™ WINDCUT™ membrane making it a premium wind-proof, water-resistant fabric.

    The tail panel uses HYDRAFUSE™ HYBRIDTECH™ fabric with our HYDRAFUSE™ WINDCUT™ membrane to keep rain and blood out.

    Good gear

    You can tell a lot of thougt has gone into this jacket. I bought it for cool/ drizzly weather when hiking hills. I like the longer length good for sit n wait hunts. The blaze top is great safety option even on private land. I wear a long sleeve poly pro thermal under and the open arms stops me overheating when active and thermal still stays warm if damp. Only thing I suggest is that the toggle on elastic waistline isnt strong enough and slips along.

    A versatile Top!

    As someone that hunts in temperatures ranging from 80 F - 10F, and in quickly changing weather, this top has proven to be one of most versatile and reliable items in my layering system. I’ve been wearing it for years and will get many more out of it. Highly recommend!
