From Stealth Gear, the latest line of Extreme clothing for photographers looks better than ever. It doesn’t come cheap, but for £89 for the trousers and £199 for the smock, photographers receive clothing that is Teflon-treated to repel water, dirt and stains. It also boasts an airflow system to ensure your skin can still breathe under all that protection. The outfit is waterproof and windproof on the darker areas (and some of the other areas), covered with lots of zips and pockets to ensure your kit is as dry and comfortable as you are.

The new Extreme Smock addresses the problem of access to your camera and lens, with a larger front pocket that uses a popper and zip system to allow you to drop your camera directly inside. On the rear, a Sit Anywhere Sheet unzips and folds down to create a dry seat on the move.

The new Extreme Trousers 2 also feature a host of zipped pockets and compartments, as well as adjustable ankle and waist fasteners to keep all unwanted weather conditions out. The zips are positioned so that photographers can bend and shoot in any position and get immediate access to cards, lenses and more.

While the Stealth Gear outfit is costly, if you’re an outdoors photographer who’s shooting in all-weather conditions, it’s an invaluable asset to own. The construction is second to none and will offer ultimate protection for both you and any equipment you have on you while out on a shoot.

Final Verdict A large outlay, but worth it for the outdoor photographer who’s always on the go in all weathers and climates OVERALL
