Bushbuck Defender vs Stoney Creek Tundra

Heavy-Duty Waterproof Jackets for Relentless Conditions

When the rain sets in and the ground turns rough, you need more than a lightweight shell. Both the Bushbuck Defender and the Stoney Creek Tundra are serious wet-weather jackets, built for people who work and roam outdoors whatever the forecast.

Bushbuck Defender (Unisex)

The Defender is a no-nonsense, hard-wearing jacket designed to take a beating in the toughest environments. With a 500D Oxford nylon outer, it shrugs off brambles, scrub and pack wear. A 10,000mm waterproof rating, fully seam-sealed construction, and DWR finish ensure reliable protection in heavy downpours. Practical touches like pit zips for ventilation, silicone shoulder grips to keep packs steady, and an adjustable hood make it as functional as it is tough. Weighing around 1.1kg, it’s a solid, dependable option for farmers, gamekeepers and anyone working long hours outdoors. And as a unisex design, it’s built to fit both men and women who demand rugged protection.

Stoney Creek Tundra

Built with the same 500D Oxford nylon durability, the Tundra is purpose-made for endurance in the wet. Its 3-layer, breathable fabric combines stormproof protection with moisture management, making it ideal for long, active days in the hills. The 10,000mm+ waterproof rating and fully taped seams guarantee dryness, while the ergonomic cut, storm flap and adjustable hood keep the elements locked out without restricting movement. At around 1.0kg, it delivers robust performance with a touch more breathability and expedition feel.

Which to Choose?

Both jackets excel when the weather turns grim. The Defender is the go-to for maximum ruggedness and practical, unisex versatility. The Tundra edges ahead for breathability and long-distance comfort, perfect for hunting trips, mountain hikes or exposed hillside work.

At Wild & Moor, we recommend them as two sides of the same coin: whichever you choose, you’ll have a jacket built to keep you dry, protected, and out there longer.
