Mouton Noir are the company that bought out Fairydown and brought it back from the brink after its episode of selling their products under the brand 'zone' in Australia. Apprantly they ( Aussie males) don't like wearing anything with the word ' Fairy' in it. As it transpired they didn't like 'zone' much either.

There is a good write up about Mouton Noir and who they are in the current issue of NZ Wilderness ( along with Sarahs review of the Holdsworth - Jumbo - Shingle peak trip).

Cheers
