Bushbuck Defender vs Stoney Creek Tundra
Rugged Waterproof Jackets Built for the Toughest Conditions
When the wet weather closes in, you need a jacket that won’t quit. Both the Bushbuck Defender and the Stoney Creek Tundra are built for people who live and work outdoors, offering serious waterproof protection and durability where it matters most. Here’s how they stack up
Bushbuck
Defender Jacket
- 500D Oxford Nylon
Outer: Heavy-duty armour against scrub,
brambles, and pack wear. - 10,000mm Waterproof
Rating: Fully seam-sealed, windproof and
DWR-treated to shed heavy rain. - Ventilation Built In: Pit zips and breathable lining help regulate temperature during active work.
- Practical Features: Silicone shoulder grips to stop straps from slipping, adjustable
hood for full storm coverage. - Weight: Approx. 1.1kg (M) – solid without being overbearing.
Designed for: Both men and women. It's a unisex jacket that has been designed for movement and to be worked in.
Goes well with: Bushbuck Defender Waterproof Trousers
Best for: Farmers, gamekeepers and rugged backcountry explorers who want an ultra-tough, no-nonsense rain shell that shrugs off rough terrain as easily as heavy downpours.
Stoney Creek
Tundra Jacket
- 500D Oxford Nylon
Outer: Just like the Defender, the Tundra is
clad in an abrasion-resistant shell made to last. - 10,000mm+ Waterproof
Rating: Fully seam-sealed, proven to keep you
dry in persistent rain. - Breathable 3-Layer
Fabric: Manages internal moisture on long days
of hiking, hunting, or hard work. - Ergonomic Design: Adjustable hood, full-length storm flap, and streamlined cut for
movement. - Weight: Around 1.0kg – robust yet balanced for all-day wear.
Designed for: Stoney Creek designed this as a 'Men's' jacket, however women have bought it and we'd say it's unisex. It's longer than the Defender, which might suit some people.
Goes well with: The matching Tundra Overtrousers
Best for: Outdoorsmen and women facing long hours in driving rain – from alpine hunts to exposed hillside walks – who need dependable weather protection without compromise.
The Verdict
Both jackets are heavy-duty wet-weather shells designed to keep you working, hunting, or hiking when most others head indoors.
- Choose the Bushbuck Defender Jacket if you value ultra-rugged durability with practical work-focused details.
- Choose the Stoney Creek Tundra Jacket if you want a technical, expedition-ready waterproof that balances toughness with breathability for extended outdoor missions.
At Wild & Moor, we stock both because they’re proven performers – two different takes on the same promise: stay dry, stay out there.
