For several years, I write reviews for the brand Stealth Gear. In the past it was well known as warm, thick clothes in a green- or blue-gray color and fully equipped with the necessary pockets for your lenses and cameras. This time, the design team of Stealth Gear has focused on making lighter clothing so that you can wear them in warmer areas. I took the "Ultimate Freedom” collection on my recent trip to Kenya.
Ultimate Freedom Multi-Season Jacket / Vest Condor:
The new jacket can’t be easily compared to the previous coats that I have tested in last years. This new coat is primarily a combination of jacket and vest, but he especially looks a lot more stylish and lighter. This jacket is a lot thinner so you do not have that bloated feeling. You can perfectly use it in all seasons. I took him to Kenya for chilly mornings and I must say that he has been used on a daily base. During one of the fierce downpours both water-repellent fabric and the hood served its purpose. The conclusion at the end of the sleeves is beautifully finished and closes nicely. The elbows are now better protected by an extra layer. Across the jacket are not the dozens of bags (which you will quickly lose the overview), but only 5 pockets in total: 3 front and 2 inside. The back of the jacket you found before a very large bag, but that's gone (sadly). I also regret that the fleece can’t be attached to the jacket, but there must have been a good reason to not provide this... The jacket is available in standard green color for 199,95 Euro.

Ultimate Freedom Multi season Trouser Falcon:
The new pants, as you could expect, made of the same materials as all other elements of this "Ultimate Freedom" clothing line and finished with the greatest care. The pants are still in green but looks very fashionable and durable. The part at the height of your knees are reinforced with some mousse that you are, if desired, can play and the inside of your calves got a reinforced layer. This inside rub on your walking shoes and was therefore strengthened. You have two back pockets and along both outer sides of your thighs you have always a large bag. The back of the pants has two pockets where hesitate a portfolio or similar threading and can be closed with a zipper. The connection to your walking shoes is also easier to adjust. Like the jacket above, of course, was the pants to Kenya. The pants of Pinewood or Fjäll Räven are similar in quality, but it fits perfectly with the jacket and fleece and is of value between the two other brands! During my two-week shoot I wore the pants together of these three brands and could not notice any difference ... They all contribute smoothly, almost as many bags and after washing, drying them just as quickly. In my opinion these pants is really a top product for € 99.95.

Ultimate Freedom Fleece Kingfisher:
Since the launch of the first fleece, this garment is my favorite. A good fleece will not only carry on photography trips or stay in condominiums, but every day in the fall / winter. In this new version, the designers have gone one step further by better connecting sleeves at the height of your wrists and his pockets better now lockable. The shoulder pads also got an extra layer of reinforcement, but the non-slip drawer on your shoulders is gone. The fleece is splash and wind resistant and was made into a nice soft fabric. What strikes me is how hot it can be and yet remains lightweight. 99.95 Euro this fleece hanging in your closet.
