"A couple of days ago I just spent some time watching a blackbird hovering around our grapevine and helping herself to the juicy grapes. I was fascinated at how adept she was at skinning them too! I got a that shot showed a skinless grape, which I thought she would swallow, but she dropped it like a hot potato and ate the skin instead."

We asked, listened, and collaborated directly with farmers in the making of this gear. We tested and re-tested in on-farm environments. We re-engineered what farming workwear can be with your needs front of mind. We brought our decades of experience creating world-class performance gear. Add to that a legacy of Kiwi innovation, a challenger spirit and a practical attitude that’s been part of Line 7 since we started back in 1963.

Every detail has been reviewed and refined – without overlooking the obvious. Breathable, flexible, functional and comfortable, while still being supremely durable and waterproof. Made to fit farmers of all shapes and sizes, with a dedicated range for women. Built to last, and last a bit longer still, with an included repair kit that means you can fix it up quickly yourself.

Now take it out there, try it on and put it to the test. Wear it out and wear it again. We’re pretty damn confident you won’t be disappointed.

Should the council get rid of the Mt Victoria olive trees?

Reporter The Post

Olive trees that produced an award-winning oil are on the chopping block, with Wellington City Council proposing to remove them from a central Wellington street. The tree roots are causing some real problems, but is that reason enough to chope them down and replace them?
