This Bandit Bush Shirt is a warm, hard-wearing bush shirt made from a hybrid fusion of thick polyester fleece and rugged polyester soft-shell. The soft-shell reinforcements, throughout the upper body and hood, offer both wind and rain resistance — in combination with a high level of breathability and durability. The close-fitting hood is adjustable and features a stiffened, wired peak. Tough soft-shell panels on the elbows and lower arms dramatically increase abrasion resistance in this traditionally high-wear area.
Two zipped chest pockets keep your work or everyday essentials safe, secure and close at hand and two deep, cosy waist pockets warm up your hands between jobs. Velcro-adjustable cuffs can be cinched tight to keep the weather out or left open to improve ventilation when you’re working hard. The deep neck zip features a fleece flap to keep the cold wind where it belongs —on the outside.
As you’d expect on a cold-weather garment, all the zips are fitted with easy-grab zip pullers that can be operated with gloved hands.
The fit is relaxed and offers plenty of mobility for all-day comfort.
Designed in the classic “New Zealand style”, the Bandit Bush Shirt features Ridgelines signature extended back for extra protection and our distinctive, no-nonsense, utilitarian look.
