Brand: Swanndri

Weight: 800 g 26 reviews

The Swanndri Ranger Shirt is a superb, tough work shirt made from 100% woollen yarn. It has become a staple outdoor garment for Ray and the Woodlore team, thanks to its warmth, quietness, and durability. Just take a look at the cover of the Outdoor Survival Handbook for an idea of how long Ray has been putting Swanndri Ranger Shirts to the test.

In 1913, New Zealand tailor William Broome, frustrated by the country's incessant rain, developed a work shirt with a secret waterproofing. The shirt, made from 100% wool, was fabled for its durability and practicality, quickly becoming the clothing choice of pioneering New Zealanders the length and breadth of the country, its unsurpassed fabric keeping them warm and dry in the winter and cool in the summer. William named the shirt the Swanndri, due to the way that water ran off the wearer's back. To this day the original design remains unchanged and is as relevant to today's outdoorsmen and women as it was almost one hundred years ago.

Sizing: Please note that the Swanndri Ranger Shirt features a very generous fit, which allows plenty of room underneath for extra layers. If you do not like your shirts to be loose-fitting, we recommend that you purchase the next size down. Please bear this in mind when placing your order.

I wore the shirt for a weeks camping in late October. Can't fault it, just what I was expecting from a pure wool shirt. It is itchy a bit but that's how wool is. Nice and warm and very well made. Wore it in quite wet weather and it held out well and kept most of the wet away from the skin, I did manage to get it soaked right through but still had some warmth. looking forward to wearing it again, and it will be my go to top for use around the camp. The material is nice and thick and the sizes are definitely on the large size. I am large and the fit is very generous on the size large, this helps with comfort and also gives scope for bulkier under shirts though for my trip the weather which only warranted a cotton tee shirt. I would recommend this one. I have been looking for a pure wool shirt for a while and this one does not disappoint. The style is quite old fashioned but for me this does not factor. Delivery was very quick too.

Absolutely love it, really comfortable and looks good too. I went a size down as I read they come up big and it's spot on, with plenty of room for layers underneath. One of my favourite purchases by far.

Brilliant top. Heard mixed reviews of these since production moved to China but I can honestly say I can see no difference in quality between this and original NZ made ones. Lovely garment, warm on a cold day, but perfect for a summers evening when the sun goes. Been worn daily since purchasing. Love it.

Excellent quality, durable shirt. Be advised that the fit is very generous and quite long in the body.

Just sublime, I wear it as an outer layer in all but the most outrageous of downpours, and it just gets on with the job. The only weakness is the efficiency of the material in shedding water leads to the wrists becoming saturated, if it's cold out then it can leave your hands a bit chilly. Easily fixed with a pair of Hestra or army surplus gloves dependant on budget. The army surplus are doing an admirable job for me. Biggest selling point would be how silent this top is, whether you're interested in wildlife or just sick of the noise of your arms grazing your torso In Gore Tex, this will be a revelation.

I am very pleased with this item. Ideal mid layer. Only gripe is that the zip could be slightly longer, just to aid putting the shirt on.

I had been after one of these for a while and after finally taking the plunge, I can say that it exceeded all my expectations. The shirt is comfortable and robust and not only keeps me warm and dry, but also seems to do a great job of regulating my temperature when I would normally start to overheat. As for the sizing, I would suggest that if you want to wear it as an outer layer then go for the size you would normally wear for a coat/jumper as it will comfortably accommodate 2 layers underneath. If you want it as a mid-layer, the opt for a size down for a more tailored fit. I'm 6'3' and a medium build and would usually go for a large or extra large size. I chose a large to wear as an outer layer and it fits perfectly. All in all, an awesome shirt and the usual impeccable service from Woodlore to get it here.
