Below are the recommendations for dress when drag hunting with the SC and RMAS Drag Hunt. The tradition of drag hunting dress was to show an affiliation and respect for a particular pack and each pack has its own particular dress code. These days, although smart turnout is important, safety is paramount and therefore as long as your kit is correctly fitting, clean and tidy, you are welcome to drag hunt with us. However, if you drag hunt regularly it is hoped that you will be able to obtain the appropriate apparel.
