A good waterproof coat is one of the few purchases you use every single day of the Irish winter, so it is worth choosing on the job you need it for rather than the label. We stock three ranges farmers ask us about most: Bushbuck, Kaiwaka and AgriShield. Here is how we would talk through the choice.
Bushbuck
Bushbuck is the range farmers reach for when they want a lighter, more flexible coat for daily jobs: milking, yard work, moving between sheds. If most of your winter is spent in and out of the parlour and you want something you barely notice wearing, start here.
Kaiwaka
Kaiwaka has built its reputation on serious wet-weather gear for people who work outside all day. If your winter is long days on the tractor, in the yard or out on wet ground, and staying dry from first light to last job is the priority, this is the range to look at first.
AgriShield
AgriShield is our own range, built to be solid, dependable everyday protection at a working price. If you want a straightforward coat that does the job without paying for features you will not use, it is the honest choice.
How to choose
- Mostly yard and parlour work: lighter and flexible beats heavy; look at Bushbuck.
- Long days outside in real weather: prioritise full wet-weather protection; look at Kaiwaka.
- Dependable everyday cover at a working price: look at AgriShield.
